Yes Bennett ‘regressed’ the last 2 years.
The Flames had a garbage coach that facilitated that regression.
Some people were pointing out that under GG, many players underperformed. Gio went from 60 points to 40 ish. Brodie was almost run out of town. Bennett was thrown in a blender with plugs.
This year things are different. Different opportunity, and he seems to be responding to the new coach. It would be nice if the naysayers would acknowledge what is in front of their eyes, and let it play out.
Yeah, he is on pace for (whatever). Guess what? He had two games on the 4th line and wasn’t productive. He was then on pace for the wastebin of Flames history. Now he has 2-3 games on the second line, and it is being discounted. It’s pretty darn tedious
Nobody thinks he is winning the scoring title
