Totally agree. I've coached players like this and you both love and hate them. You gotta know how to aim them and not get them too riled up or they do silly things. 18 yo Sam Bennett, you get it. By now, after two Stanley Cups and an MVP trophy, was hoping he figured out how to regulate that a bit better.
