He was awesome last night against Tampa although it's definitely a matchup that suits for Benny, five fights and several other scrums and Sam in the middle of it all lol. These teams really hate each other after last years playoff series.

Sam Bennett will just be a really expensive Sam Bennett this year.

Still a stupid trade. Here's hoping Dube can be as or more valuable.

Thoughts:

- Awesome by Bennett. Nice little antagonistic play to try and get to the goalie in a rivalry game.
- We need to defend Markstrom the way Tampa responded to Vasilevskiy getting hit there. McDavid goes in with the speed like he did last game? He needs to get piled on for it. McDavid is fully aware of what he's doing in that situation, and it puts our goalie at risk. Winning teams don't let stuff like that slide.

If he did that while on the Flames last season, there would probably be a players meeting after asking him to tone it down.

Ward would've made Bennett write an apology letter.

I honestly did not even notice his absence from camp until this thread was revived. This year's training camp sans Bennett has not been much different than Flames camps where he was in attendance.

Since when is hitting the goalie considered an "awesome play"?

It's just stupid on so many levels.

especially in a preseason game

some people love everything he does though like making the worst hit of the playoffs and costing his team by being suspended

Fun players to watch are fun to watch, more on News at 11.

People like Bennett because he plays big and wild. And, you know, he's a good player. If he wasn't, his suspension wouldn't have cost his team. Sure, you'd like him on the ice more than off it, but that's the trade off.

People around here cry about dirty hits all the time...if Gudbranson makes the same play tonight on Helly everyone is talking about how stupid he is.

I never said he wasn't a good player FYI, just that there are quite a few posters who have rose colored glasses for him

The hit on Coleman in the playoffs was worse than anything Tom Wilson did last season, he is also a good player yet not so much love.

Calling that a hit, IMO, is pretty generous.
