Now, a couple generations later, I have somehow become one of those people, complaining about man-buns and shaggy beards and special flowers.

WTF happened to me?

Every publication was saying Bennett was better used as the 3rd C because there was obvious chemistry there and Ryan can carry a line on his own. This is not the regular season, this is gearing up for the important games which is where Bennett shines.

I'm not frustrated with anyone, but I do see the logic in keeping Bennett with Lucic/Dube as they seem to have chemistry, leaving Ryan more suited to prop up the fourth line and make the Flames more efficient lines one through four.

I say that as a balance, and not a reward for Bennett and his regular season or camp scrimmages though.

Shot a quick glance at the johnny-mony video, and because of the Edmonton quality lighting and dark backdrop, the mask around Johnny's chin looked like an amish level beard at first. I was semi excited.

They were right the whole time, it just took you until now to realize it.

Benny looks pretty legit with his hair buzzed quite short and his beard in full force.
