The top lines fancy stats were better with Bennett up there than they were with Ferland... and Bennett gets replaced? The only logic being that he's not as intimidating/truculent as Stewart?
As was the case with Brouwer on the PP, and Hamilton not on the PP, unorthodox coaching decisions do not equal genius. They're just as stupid as they appear.

Sample size, and one of the opponents was Arizona. I thought Bennett did fine up there, but I'm not going to overstate it. It's the kind of analysis that says Joni Ortio is a goaltending whiz.
