Sometimes it’s ok to irrationally love a player on your team, it’s part of the fun of sports. Winning is the most fun obviously, but still. He’s a bottom of the roster player and no matter what we do, we’re always going to have those.

It's also not irrational to like a solid 3rd/4th line player - and that's what he is. Plays his heart out, stands up for his teammates endlessly and shows up big in the playoffs - which is something this team lacks elsewhere in the line-up.
I'll always be a fan of players that play with emotion, and Bennett does that.
