Bennett matched them in points and also dominated in the physical aspect of the game where Monahan and Gaudreau were being pinned in their zone regularly by the Stars 4th line. Sure they made the Jets/Stars pay on the powerplay.
Bennett lead the playoffs in hits a week after the Flames were eliminated. He elevated his game from the third line.
It couldn’t be more clear why people praise Bennett’s playoff and were disappointed in Monahan and Gaudreau. When your third line is your best line by far you are not winning a round

Clearly you missed my point.
People exaggerate how good and bad players based on their expectations. That was my point, no more, no less.
I also don't understand why people are so insistent than PP goals mean less.
