Used to be that both centers got tossed and the wingers would come in and face each other, a time honored strategy in beating tough centers. They stopped that a couple years ago when they tweaked the faceoff rules and have gone to the much more annoying first to flinch gets tossed approach. Bennett has been good in the dot as a second. I'm giving him credit. But as a center he has not been good, which I thought was Tranny's point, and what the data supports.
