Oh, it was most certainly shade at Bennett. In 2019 when he had 5 pts in 5 games there was no shortage of people claiming that "Sam Bennett cannot be your best player in the playoffs"
Instead of questioning why he only got 13:14 of average icetime, the narrative was that he's still a scrub and his production was insufficient for a top producer
The same year ROR had 23 pts in 26 games to win the Conn Smythe
Not once did the fanbase or organization lean into what Bennett was doing, they leaned away
