#Flames coach Darryl Sutter on Sam Bennett: “I think we just want him to be a 200-foot, straight-line, work-hard, honest player. That’s sort of how I envision him coming in and that’s basically how we’ve addressed it with Sam. Obviously, I like those kind of players.”

#Flames coach Darryl Sutter: “They’ve worked hard the last few days and they’ve been very receptive to the little changes we’d like to make and things we’d like individuals to do better ... Now, you need the performance part ... The talking part is easy, now it’s the next part.”
