Went under the radar a bit but I’m pretty sure Bennett had another big open ice hit last night... I think it was against Ehlers. The flames scored shortly after that. Funny that the jets didn’t seem to respond to it at all. Didn’t seem to go after him for it... in fact, they didn’t seem to respond with any physicality or attitude despite the flames dominating them in the 1st. I wonder if that was a message from the Jets’ coaching staff: not to get the flames riled up cause it would just play into Tkachuk’s hands the way Edmonton lost their cool because of him and Bennett. Similar to the message opposing coaches used to give when the flames had iginla... “don’t go after him, don’t get physical on him, don’t beak at him... don’t wake the beast.”
Bennett is becoming a physical force out there and is starting to put up points as well. He’s looking great on that second line. Hoping he has a big offensive night soon cause he deserves it.
