You guys saying “thanks Bennett” are hilarious. The first penalty was a back check taking away a scoring chance, the second was taking away a scoring chance because Hamilton lost his man. One of you should start the Woes of Sam Bennett thread so there is a central place to make silly comments.

The situations presented themselves to him, yet he's made the lazy play instead of battling harder or skating a bit harder to be in a position where he doesn't have to take a penalty.
Bennett is often guilty of making the lazy play because he thinks he can get away with it. You don't see Gio making lazy plays out there, and that's the difference between a guy who gets it and a young guy with potential who's still learning what to do.
Bennett should not be above criticism.
