When he played 15 minutes the game before, the Flames lost. When he played less than 12 last night, the Flames won.
I don't think he's responsible for the loss in Colorado, I just think it's obvious that he is less effective playing more than 12 minutes a game, which is a necessity to play in the top 6.

He was quite effective against Colorado, and set up Giordano’s goal. The logic you’re using is bizarre. None of the goals against were Bennett’s fault, and with more minutes he was the primary assist on one of the goals we did score.
From game to game, he played better and produced more when he played more, but you’re arguing that because the Flames lost, which was caused by errors made by players not named Bennett, that Bennett shouldn’t/can’t play more minutes?
I don’t think what you’re saying is obvious at all, and a real weird train of thought.
