It pains me, because he’s my favourite (not very good) player. I have to think that Bennett felt his playoff play earned him a bigger opportunity this season - and then he starts the year centering Lucic and Nordstrom, followed by just getting tossed around the lineup without a role yet again while he saw Simon and Leivo get more opportunity than him.
I totally understand it from Bennett’s perspective, and I really don’t know what this team’s end game is. Ever since the hiring of Ward, I’ve had a pit in my stomach and this has just made it grow, alongside the slow/typical emotionless Flames hockey.
This team gifted Simon and Leivo roles that Bennett earned. That has to be hard to swallow.
