I would imagine that we'll think year-end that it was Neal that clicked for Bennett, but we know today that that'll be revisionist history. He really has been able to drive the play himself, and he's been the spark on that line quite often. Great to see, and if last night was the Neal coming online, we're in for a year from Bennett.

So far so good with Bill Peters!
I think Neal probably has some influence over Bennett but I think Peters is much more of an influence tho. Peters seems to have a bit of an old school philosophy. I think he demands his players play a tough physical game. We see it in other players this year too. Monahan and Gaudreau boyh are playing with more off edge. Monahan has been using his body alot more and Johnny has been getting into the corners now. Peters also said he sat Jankowski because he wasnt grinding enough.
