Don't be good, be great.
I like Bennett, but Ryan is just an overall better player at this point and absolutely should be higher in the lineup

Ryan is a better two way centre. He’s playing fine tonight.

You’re talking nonsense. Ryan has been a better and more responsible player ever since he got here.

Not gonna die on the hill. Ryan being 3rd line centre makes sense, but I feel that doesn't mean Bennett can't be with Ryan and Dube still. Why doesn't that line get a shot? Bennett with Janko and Reider is an anchor.

Ideally, the third and fourth line should be getting around the same minutes, and you shouldn't have to shelter anyone. I think that Lucic - Ryan - Czarnik could be a monster of a third/fourth line, and Bennett can centre Dube.

Right now, the fourth line is a black hole.

Here is an idea:

Bennett-Ryan-Dube
Lucic-Jankowski-Rieder

Bennett and Dube have some chemistry so if they must play Ryan and Jankowski at center maybe give this a try.

Nope. Dont care. We/they want more from Sam, he gives it, they put him down again. Pretty consistently over the years too.

This thread is a ####ing classic right now.

up 3-1 against one of the top 3 teams in the league, on the road, new guys both looking solid pitching in.

But sam bennett isn't getting choice icetime, so I'd like to take a time out and talk about that over and over.

I think we have to keep in mind that the Flames are playing on the road against one of the best teams in the league
It makes complete sense that Ryan has third line duties
Doesn’t mean Sam won’t get more opportunities

After your rant about the Flames trading Davidson, not sure I trust your judging of talent.

Just tuned in. Holy crap, we're actually beating the Bruins in their own barn? What an unexpected and pleasant surprise!

Lucic-Ryan-Dube have been the most consistent line this year. I’m a little surprised the messed with it at all. Dube plays so much better with Lucic.

The issue isn’t Bennett - its that the other first rounder on the line is a floater. Maybe Bennett between Czarnik and Rinaldo could work. Lots of speed there.

That was Loubo’s take before the game and I thin he got it from the staff.
