I watch as many Panthers games as I can because they are fun to watch. They have so many players on offense that can finish that they are difficult to shut down as you can't focus on shutting down one line. I think fans need to give Bennett some credit as he's making plays he never made in Calgary. You watch some of the highlights and he's made some really nice passes to set up goals and that's something that wasn't part of his game in Calgary. He finally resembles the player he was in junior and it's unfortunate that it he could not play like that for the Flames but one of Treliving's biggest failings is addressing the 2nd line as that's where Bennett needed to play but Backlund just isn't dynamic of a center and Bennett needs a creative player on his line.
