If there's one thing that a GM might rank above skill is heart and passion come playoff time, Bennett has this.

Don’t pay attention to Bennett in the regular season. He’s a beast in the playoffs, I’m happy to keep him around for that reason. Reg season he’s a reasonable 3rd liner, leave him be. If this team ever puts it together and makes a deep run in the postseason, we’re all going to love Bennett- until then, just ignore him.

Bennett gets up for big games and in the playoffs the refs put away their whistles. I only wish we had him in 2004 in the last 2 games of the series against Tampa. Where’s my time machine.

He probably would not have been much help. He was only seven years old.

You never asked about my opinion on the leaks because you were already elbows deep on your computer accusing a guy who has posted on this board for 15 years of a massive anti flame point of view.

Afterall, a guy critical of an organization as successful as the flames must have a massive anti flames point of view. Those criticisms couldn't possibly have any merit to them.

United, could you detail for those of us with addled minds about the specifics of the Lindholm for Bennett swap you're talking about?

Can someone please explain how he has a lifetime suspension for this? Or was it something in a different thread? I said something mostly tongue in cheek in another thread about how the mods don’t do anything to the major flames apologists and target the dissenters... but if this is what got him banned then maybe I was being more truthful than I thought. If this is a what got him banned then this board is run by.... not even gonna finish that thought. What a joke.

PM the mods if you must know and see what they say. I am sure there is more to the story then you know.

Pretty obvious the Flames have no problem valuing Sam Bennett! Looking forward to seeing how he plays for Ward
