He doesn't read the play. Great at crashing the net and scoring dirty goals here-and-there, but the rest of the game is just not good. There is more to the game than running around with your hair on fire. Love the effort, but use your linemates!

I've been talking about this quite a bit lately. Love Benny, and I'm pleased that he's getting a prolonged shot on a top line, but he's still playing junior out there sometimes.
