Not at all. I've praised Bennett multiple times during this series. If Bennett played like this all the time, he's a keeper. Unfortunately there is the Sam Bennett we get for 82 games, then the Sam Bennett you get for four games. The most important thing about being a professional athlete is consistency, and Sam has yet to develop that in his game. I love the Sam Bennett that plays hard, plays smart, and produces. Unfortunately we get to see that player for a small percentage of his games. He's the anti-Johnny Hockey, who is great for the larger percentage of his games, but is terrible in the others - and he has to go for the very same consistency reason. Bennett has to keep this performance up, otherwise he's the same Sam Bennett that the team can do without.
