I think too one of the biggest thing I’ve taken away from Bennett in his time as a flame (aside from the epic staches) is that one of his grandest if not thee grandest moments here was his 4 goal game… which came against the very team he was destined to go to. It’s damned hockey fate and I love it. So happy for Sam and he’s playing exactly like the player I was hoping for when the flames took him all those years ago! And I’m super pumped for you too Cali, I know just what kind of hockey fan you are and got a big time kick when you point yourself out when your at the game when the flames come to town. You’re a true fan of the Panthers and I’m happy to see your diehard fandom getting rewarded by pretty much every single aspect you could hope for in a team.
They’ve got a pedigree coach
Potentially incredible goalie tandem
Amazing top 6 fwd group solid bottom group as well
High end top 4 D
I think they’ve been sneaky good at getting better almost under the cover of night in a way. Could be a big player in that division especially if Tampa runs into cup hangover after two long runs. |
They basically have a really solid top 9 if they keep these lines:
Verhaege-Barkov-Duclair
Huberdeau-Bennett-Tippett
Vatrano-Lundell-Reinhart
That Lundell kid is amazing, I knew he was really good coming from Finland but I never thought he would be this good this fast. Gives me Mark Stone vibes, he's a puck hound and very cerebral. On top he has a killer shot.
