What I object to is that narrative that GG wouldn't move off of Brouwer because of stubborness or something. It just doesn't meet the actual facts, the TOI records, etc.
BTW, was putting Bennett on objectively stupid? Look at his production and his time on the PP.
Who do you put in front of the net on the two powerplay units when Ferland gets hurt, and then, later, Tkachuk? Especially short term who might have actually practiced on the unit? It's not just a matter of throwing guys with no practice time and no experience out there to get punished. Is it Stajan? Lazar? I don't think that's a good role for Jankowski (who was struggling at the time anyway) and that's the best option I can think of.
