Unless he's noticing how Mangiapane is getting crushed in board battles. Knocked down a lot, squeezed out a lot.

He's having a heck of a time playing his game against top players. May need some sheltering.

He looked fine in the home game v. LA. I think he does okay when the Flames get the matchup they want, so it may be enough to play him there on home starts, and monitor that line on the road for now.

Frolik still looks the best on that line imo, which is not ideal.

For sure ...

Frolik

Mangiapane

Bennett has only had six minutes.

lol, 'only had six minutes'.

6 minutes (This year) of (brutal) hockey that lost him the spot on that line.

the problem with this is that the blue lines have been so vastly different in these games. Stone vs Kylington & Brodie vs Andersson change the complexion of any results.

And in the case of Bennett, it was a period I would wager not a single line played competently.

There is literally nothing to laugh at there, nothing.

You have a view, I supported it with data, and Bennett has had 1/6 of the ice time and isn't really relevant.

The whole team was brutal in the first period and change that saw him lose said spot. I'm not at all for promoting Sam Bennett but why you found that funny is bordering on bizarre.

Very good point on the defensive deployment as Giordano's pair was also hampered.

At this point it's just that he is trying to snark at whatever you post.

That's certainly the feeling I get.

It's become so personal for him that he's literally following me around.

I get it. We all have guys that tend to agree with what we say, and guys that oppose what we say.

I have Strange Brew and Cobra calling me out all the time. Don't usually see it so prickly, pissy and arrogant though. I think I annoy the hell out of all three of them, but one of them has transcended a hockey discussion into something more personal.

[Enoch Root]

The only thing lol-worthy from the recent discussion is anyone that thinks they can draw conclusions from 6 minutes of hockey where the entire team was completely outplayed for the entire period.

Bennett played 250+ minutes there last year?

Yeah with very similar play driving stats, but less finish.

I'm not propping or selling Bennett to the second line in any way.
