I'm not going to expend any energy on all the other stuff, but re: bolded, that goal was 0% on Bennett. Three panthers forwards (Huberdeau, Hornqvist, Bennett) had 3 guys in on the forecheck on the PP, with Bennett on the far right side. Lightning defenseman makes an outlet pass through the middle (roughly through Horqvist) leading to a two-on-two situation at the other end. Barkov covers his guy and yandle is left on a 1 v 1 and somehow turns that into a breakaway when literally any other defenseman in the league breaks that up. Yandle and Bobrovsky are pretty much the only guys you could fault, and even Bobrovsky should be given a pass.
