100%. I see Kingston Sam Bennett every game he plays. He tries to go through his opponent each time rather than go around. I’ve never seen a player attempt to deke so much, fail and then try it again. It’s like he doesn’t know any better. He also takes too long time to read the play, ends up killing the play because he doesn’t react in time.
If only he would realize what he is. A north-south smash mouth style player who gets on the forecheck who digs hard in the corners and goes to the front of the net. If he played more like Mangiapane instead of Gaudreau, he’d be a great player. Alas, he just can’t seem to get over that 4th overall tag all these years later.
