Coaches do this all the time. It's one of the most common jokes on this board.
Peters would be an idiot not to.
I'm not diagnosing a concussion from 2000km away. I'm saying it's dumb to take Peters at his word on this as Bennett was clearly injured enough not to return to the game, and just missed 7 of his last 8 due to 'upper body injury'.
Peters in my estimation would also be an idiot if Bennett saw a minute of regular season ice between now and the playoffs. Conference is clinched, Bennett is still obviously going to be nursing the original 'upper body injury' that saw him miss a few weeks of action before getting back into the lineup over the weekend.
I mean, he's already being ruled out of the Anaheim game? That's 50% of the games!
What are we even talking about here anymore?
Call up lomberg and hope Bennett is ready for game 1.

So you agree that it would not be beneficially to play Bennett if he was injured in anyway.
So you think it's a bluff by Peter's? No one would blink if he said hes going to sit for precautionary reasons. But if he thinks he can play, there's zero reason to suggest that he is anything but healthy.
