I think that boils down to one stupid penalty, because you can't let a rival take shots at your captain/best player, and then even tonight...the refs should have called 1 on each side.
Yes, the positives vastly outweigh the negatives.

I think you're glossing over that penalty in Game 1 too much. Could have changed the series in that one brain dead moment. Sticking up for a teammate? I don't think the Lightning learned any lessons from that play other than Bennett will take stupid penalties time to time and you can capitalize on them.
It's too bad, because without those brain dead moments I'd say he's had a very good/ excellent playoff series.
