I can't help but think that all of the links are broken on purpose.

Sam Bennett was a playoff beast away from the puck, and the high danger scoring chances that these "flukey" goals resulted in, were due to his hard work. No one ever said that he is a pretty player, but what has been said over and over again is that he continuously makes plays that are a nightmare for a goalie. That is pucks in front of the net, with traffic. I don't really care if he gets there by carrying his stick upside down and skating backwards the whole way.

Bennett's game only really works well if he is in the centre of the ice. He produces garbage goals, and creates the chaos for others to get garbage goals. Who cares that they are not dangling things of beauty?
