What a joke
With the Panthers he's been played at C with good to elite wingers, they got Tkachuk on his wing and the two of them are seeing far more success in the first two years with the Panthers than in their entire tenure with the Flames. It's nice getting a 45-50pt 4.4m/yr 2nd line center that performs in the playoffs for..... an afterthought 2nd round pick.
14 points in 8 ####ing playoff games guys
Who woulda thought? Oh, that's right.
About a good 15-20 of CPers, myself included, who repeatedly bitched about his usage literally the whole ####ing time he was here. Thanks for proving us right Sam.

Beating a drum?
All I'm saying is that it was both sides ... that's hardly controversial.
I was a Bennett fan, and defended him all the time, but I'm not one to just ignore the player's role in seizing opportunity.
It isn't like it was one coach in his way to succeeding. He played for five different bench bosses in 7 years in Calgary.
All of them were in Bennett's way?
Team certainly could have done a better job; so could have the player. (is that beating a drum?)
