With Bennett I truly think he felt helpless at the end. If the team is giving you sporadic chances to play big minutes with no true intention of wanting to succeed, it’s hard to play hard when you get the sense that the team doubts you. Florida seems to have said they don’t care about his past and they want him to run with it. So much of sports is psychological. If they put him in a positive headspace and they’re truly hoping he succeeds, it seems to have worked. The Flames really didn’t give him good looks and the results show. Whatever they’re doing seems to work. Treliving should be commended on the return he got because it was good based on the lack of production. Would be nice to have this Bennett for the second line right now.
