I think you have to sit Bennett for a game or two at this point.
Few bad penalties, couldn't really stay on his feet and the play more or less died on his stick every time he had the puck. I thought that playing with Gaudreau would help him a bit, but he's looked pretty lackluster in Edm and tonight.
Don't wanna be too hard on him but he's playing with 0 confidence right now. I don't think sitting a few would be all that bad at this point.

I'm very happy the Flames got such a convincing win. The whole team looked great, and outside of two perfect shots from Trocheck, they played a nearly perfect game.
However, I'm seriously bummed at how bad the Panthers looked tonight. The only thing Tom Rowe is good for is coach's challenges. The team is a shambles.

The Panthers are an example of why you need continuity and consistency from the top down. That team had made serious strides and because of a dumb handsy owner they make a bunch of idiotic management changes which results in some questionable player personnel changes. Then what seemed like a heat of the moment coachi g change and now instead of being a team on the rise to reckon with they look like a shell of what they were last season.

Good post. He's clearly fighting the puck and his skating looks so off. Might as well bench him and see if that lights a fire under his butt. Knowing Bennett and his "care" level, he will come back as fired up as ever.
This isn't the game to be complaining about the officials. They gave the panthers a few cheap penalties and missed the obvious two many men empty netter. Thought they were pretty fair tonight aside from the usual missed trip on Gaudreau.
I think you mean the massive Cross-checking on Gaudreau.

"That was a pretty special play, he really fooled their players." - Mark Giordano on Matthew Tkachuk's pass on Mikael Backlund's 2nd goal
Solid game from everyone except Bennett and Chiason. Those two are awful players.
Both need to sit. Kinda harsh Hathaway has to sit yet Bennett continues to play and be a liability out there.
Have you seen Hathaways face lately?? Dude is torn up. Especially after last game. It was a good move by GG. Hathaway needed a game to sit out. It is not because his play was bad but because of the way he plays . He needs the rest.

Well that's not a great message to send.
"Play too hard and show too much effort and we will bench you so you can get some rest"
"Play uninspired hockey with no defensive awareness and take dumb offensive zone penalties and you'll keep playing"
That’s what you call productivity, not one goal on 44 shots
Versteeg the Ex Panther
Quote:
Virtual certainty *******teeg scores tonight
Quote:
The ex-panthers are the biggest threat
Quote:
Out of all the Flames players, Versteeg had to score. Just like that.
Quote:
*** Steeger!
Quote:
Well you could see that coming. Of course it's Versteeg. Pysyk caught standing still
Quote:
Verbeauty lol
Quote:
Of course it had to be Versteeg
Quote:
Feels like Versteeg always scores lucky/cheap goals against us ever since he got traded.
Fits his persona well.
Quote:
Of course Kris scores
A Terribly Lopsided 2nd
Quote:
Looked up and thought the Flames were on a power play
And now they are...
Quote:
More than halfway through the game and they have 7 shots on goal
WTF??
Quote:
Will we get another shot tonight
Quote:
The Flames crew said we have 0, but either way.
Quote:
Why can't we execute basic stuff. It's like everynight is the first time this group is playing together
Hey! We got a shot! First in 20m mins?
Quote:
There’s a shot. I saw it!
Quote:
Flames look like they rested for a week and our team is just like they worked hard in a gym right before the game
Quote:
We must been on the stationary bike all that time in the gym because we can't get anyone off the puck or clear anyone in front of Luongo
Iggy, Iggy, Iggy! Oi, oi, oi!
Quote:
12 shots. 12. Damn. Shots.
Backlund’s 1st
Quote:
My goodness, what a train wreck
And another
Quote:
Just bad defense tonight.
Quote:
Oh NO, we SUCK AGAIN
Quote:
Wow
Hot garbage
Quote:
How does a team playing zone defense leave so many players open in front of the net?
Quote:
Uh oh
Need a third goal
13 seconds later
Quote:
Need a fourth goal.
Quote:
Just... just lol
Quote:
YOU ARE FREAKING KIDDING ME
Quote:
Good thing I stayed up past 5am to watch this game, not like I have anything better to do at this hour, like you know, sleep like normal people.
Quote:
This entire period, they’ve played as if they were either drunk, sick or completely delusional. Completely weak and slow play. Something happened.
Quote:
There's your game. You go up 2-1 they score 4 unanswered and you just float. All stems from coaching. Can't fire these guys up no chemistry with them. Go back to the damn FO
The 5-2 goal that finally came to fruition
Quote:
Jebus wept.
5-2 again.
Quote:
If you can't tell that it's offside from a full speed replay, then it wasn't offside enough to warrant calling the goal back.
Good goal, let's play.
Quote:
Well color me stunned. Seemed onside on my TV.
Quote:
Offside, good call Rowe
Quote:
Anyone think calling this goal back is gonna matter?
Quote:
Same play on repeater: look foolish behind the net, bang.
Quote:
And… good night!
Quote:
Lol. Offside again!
Quote:
It's the altitude...no its the long trip...no it's the injuries....no no wait a minute wait minute we have a new one from Mr. Pothead! It's the emotion...it's the emotional feeling!
Quote:
Pathetic performance all around, besides Trocheck carrying the team on his back. You'd think after beating one of the best team in the leagues they'd have a fire under their ass filled with momentum. Yet we got a sleeper after the first period.
This guy has the right idea
Quote:
So… we can kinda say we lost 7-2
Quote:
come on coach's challenge
Quote:
The offside challenge is out to get the Flames.
Quote:
Because Wideman!
Quote:
settle down Calgary, nobody's impressed
maybe rolling onto your back wasn't the best way to try and stop that one eh Lou
Quote:
Florida sucks. So much suck!
Quote:
We should change the name of this thread to "Running list of good things that players Benning traded or passed on do."
Quote:
Tkachuk with a couple as well.
To fit the change in theme form beansy
Quote:
Tkachuk. McCann.
Nice.
