It's fantastic to watch.

Bennett was fantastic, he set the tone for the whole team in the first period and got them emotionally invested. The team didn't have time to think about being behind early because they were battle ready. Not only that, Bennett putting Nurse on his butt got the Oilers playing butt hurt and off their game. We took advantage if that. Not sure why some think Bennett needs to be producing when we are winning games and he is out there playing a solid 2 way defensive game. The coach called him a complete player, can't get a better complement than that. If Darryl Sutter was coaching he would be over the moon about Bennett's commitment to the defensive side of the game.
