We’ve seen these guys enough that we know it doesn’t matter who plays there. They are streaky, they are meh defensively (improved this year based on their commitment) and they are what they are. The discussion I think should focus around how Bennett performs in that spot vs. other spots and vs. other players. Does he outperform leivo, Simon and gang? I think so. Does he make the line exponentially better, no. Does he personally perform better in this spot vs. 2nd/3rd/4th lines? So far, yes. Can he provide something to that line in terms of toughness, and energy so that we’re able to roll 3 complete lines? yeah I think so.

For me it’s trying to get into the mold of vegas, rolling 3 2nd lines and out working teams by constant pressure.

I read that back and realized I did the loubo rhetorical questioning, ha...

Why does everyone forget the purple drink line?
