Honestly? Short tournament? He'd likely have been the first name on my team sheet. When the going gets tough...Bennett BRINGS it!

He is the perfect short tournament player.
I don't know if I agree with that. In a 7 game series I'd take Sam Bennett, but I feel he's he's too much of a double edged sword for a tournament as short as this. One boneheaded play could be the difference between a gold medal and being out in the semi-finals.

I think it's the right call to leave him off the team with who else was available in that role.
