Classic Sam Bennett. Lots of jam, but no finish and useless a shift in OT. People get upset about Ryan's ice time but third line guys like Bennett should not be out there on OT. And get the frack off the ice at the end of your shift instead of making a terrible play and costing your team the second point.

Same two guys can't play the entire OT, should have had a PP or penalty shot

Too many passengers contributing very little. The top line + chucky can’t do it every game.

Defense very good again I thought

Jankowski steps up, plays pk, wins face offs

At least Backlund, plays pk, wins face offs

We’re missing secondary scoring! If we had cap space, we could address secondary scoring, but we don’t ...so let’s hope Frolik comes back and finds his groove.

Wtf was Bennett doing? This kid has so much, but also lacks so much.

Yeah but that was a brutally bad play to go to Boeser when Brodie had him. Did Sam think the Canucks only had two on the ice?

Bennett is a 3rd line winger and needs to be treated as such.

Now they are going to have a circle jerk about how great Pettersson is.

Surprised Bennett saw the ice during overtime at all. He didn't actually look that bad 3on3 but his play in regulation was terrible.

All his passes had their receiver bobble the puck, which was actually fortunate because half the time it was a pass to a Canuck. He needs Coach Bombay do the egg thing to learn how to pass.

Not a lot of chances generated by anyone other than the top line, who were tired by the end.
This month Tkachuk has almost as many points on the PP as he does at even strength (6-7).

He's played 39 minutes on the powerplay and 175 minutes at even strength.

I know it's unpopular, but I think Bennett is absolutely killing that line's offense. Tkachuk is a possession player and Bennett just can't make or take a pass.

Not too gutted at the loss, it wasn't too bad. The real problem is why are Vancouver homers calling a Calgary home game. Randorf can suck an egg, and this after show panel is just as bad. Come on Hrudey, interfere in this Vancouver lovefest.

Lame. The Flames deserved better but got no breaks and the top 2 lines didn’t seem to have it. Now we know how fans of the teams the Flames beat in 14-15 feel.

For a “good” skater he sure doesn’t use his speed basically ever. I’d say he’s average.

Jankowski looked like he was feeling it, why not throw him out there? Bennett is not very good. Or should I say- he’s a 3rd liner. He’s more of a grinder than a scorer really. It’s time people just face the facts here.

I don’t think it’s unpopular

Most people can see Bennett kills that lines ability to substain pressure
