No. The Flames were the second team evicted from the playoffs. The first-place Tampa Bay Lightning lost in four straight games.
And I think you are married to the unsubstantiated idea that Sam Bennett is a highly skilled NHL player who has been somehow maligned and ruined by a steady stream of NHL coaches.

I have stated he's a polarizing player. I am comfortably on the one side.
I feel he has the potential still. Sorry but your evaluations and assessments are worth what mine are: a hill of beans.
Agree to disagree.
Being evicted second or first, it's nearly semantics... the point stands.
I am married to the idea that Benny is a highly skilled player.
I started my whole position with development isn't linear. it's now developed into this.
I'm fine taking a stance on a player that I appreciate.
The flames were extolling his praises during the offseason, saying they were going to try him at center. All hollow. He has what two games on the top line? he played well the one game and not so well the second. Give him a chance and let him not feel the specter of demotion. You gotta let the kids play.
I will agree with that Villne poster who stated that" if the flames best player in the playoffs is a 3rd liner then the team has bigger problems".
I do agree with this. I also think third line or obscure or unheralded players in the playoffs rise to prominence due to matchups.
I just don't care for flames management not hiring experienced coaches.
And i challenged monohan via that one poster! I could give a crap about that guy. He's got his millions. I have nothing personally against that guy. Yet the poster thinking that he has some superior argument in saying monohan would "lay a licking on me", is so lame. I challenged that lame notion. And I love lucic. The guy is all heart. He's a real pro. He will even waive his NTC for the expansion. If he doesn't I will donate 50 bucks to CP.
