Bennett scored; under review.

Bennett with the offensive zone penalty.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

lol… prime Sam Bennett Experience material there. Score the goal and then take a pointless brain dead penalty by the opposition goal crease.

[Toonage]

The Sam Bennett Experience!

Edit - lmao just beaten to it

Yes. Tkachuk ran into goaltender but pretty clear he was checked from behind into the goalie.

[Karl]

Stamkos bombs it off the post.

Yeah, Tkachuk did shove Vasilevskiy but Hagel caused it all to happen. Lightning challenged, lost, and killed the penalty.

Bennett almost gets his 2nd. Then Tarasenko scores. What a digout from Bennett there.

[DeluxeMoustache]

Bennett’s engaged playoff mode. Great shift

Somebody should bump the old Bennett thread

[Tbull8]

Trading Bennett was the move that cost us the series against the oilers and potentially years of contention. I will die on this hill.

He always should’ve been developed alongside tkachuk to form another duo ala monny and Johnny

[Karl]

Wow TB can barely get out of their own zone.

He has a playoff mode all right. But he is still a .5 PPG sort of guy, who gets hurt a lot and takes penalties. He was never going to be better as an NHL centre than Lindholm and probably not better than Backlund.

Another shot for Tampa. At last.

Sam Bennett….biggest blunder during Treliving’s era

There are guys that get you there and there are guys that get you through. Bennett seems to be the guy that shows up in the playoffs

[Karl]

Lomberg not playing in this game. That's a shame.

Not even close. It's Hamonic and Neal.

You could make a case for paying a 1st to get rid of Monahan.
