Ugh ikr? We'd totally be up 4-1 right now if Bennett was on the top line.

Let’s be honest.... had we acquired Nash or Kane, i wiuld understand the risk reward of being on the first line. Sure they don’t know tendencies, system or anything else but they are elite players. Stewart not knowing tendencies or systems and being handed a spot on the first line is a joke. I have no issue trying it when the Bennett experiment goes cold and Stewart has had time to practice with guys but this is just stupid tonight.

Crap. Broken play.

[The Fisher Account]

Way to go Sam

[dino7c]

Lol no mention of the stupid offensive zone penalty?

[SebC]

So Bennett gets called for not controlling his stick, but no call for the cross-check from behind that knocked him off-balance...

[Infinit47]

Brouwer is beyond overplayed by our loser coach.

[WhiteTiger]

Dammit!

[DropIt]

Janko is flying out there. Frolik is struggling.

Bennett gets his stupid penalty out of the way... and people wonder why he isnt a full time first liner

[direwolf]

Boooo!

Makes more sense than demoting a player who was helping the team win and producing in that role prior to 13th forward waiver wire player being acquired.

Defending Gully at this point seems irrational. Putting a waiver wire pick-up on the 1st line is hilariously stupid - and hey, it’s working out just like we expected.

[dieHARDflameZ]

I’m in Mexico and unable to watch the game but there is no doubt in my mind that Bishop is getting a shutout tonight.

[N-E-B]

These refs are a joke.

[colbym72]

Look what you did CP! You bully Gully into showing emotion and he gets a penalty

[FlamesNation23]

Lmao #### you nhl. This is pure bull####

[DropIt]

This one may get off he rails lol. But GG had a good point. Brutal missed call

You know chris stewart has as many goals as bennett this season in 16 less games?

maybe that has something to do with it?
