the thing is Bennett really hasn't had a chance to make an impact on the top line.
But, gibbons has absolutely helped that line out. When you are a net positive on a line with Crosby and Kunitz you are doing a lot of things right.
My biggest worry with Bennett on Crosby's line is speed. Gibbons, and megna, contribute a lot to those lines because their speed backs off the defense which creates that much needed space for Crosby/Malkin. If they stay healthy that *can* be a big help in the playoffs.
The tiny sample we've seen I thought Bennett was better suited on Malkin/Neal's line then Crosby's. Those guys play more of a possession, not hyper go-go-go all the time game that seems to suit Beau better. Granted the sample size is waaaay to small to draw any conclusions. But stats wise, and eyeball wise, Gibbons and Megna have been doing well. A Gibbons-Sutter-Megna line actually is a pretty decent 3rd line that will play in the other teams zone. I just anticipate that Beau will come back on the 3rd line since Gibbons seems to mesh with Crosby well at this point.
Really though Megna kinda took me by surprise, this kid has some potential he's only a year older then Beau he is crazy fast and can score, he also generates offense all on his own, something badly needed on this team. Gibbons I've seen in WBS several times, he surprises me on how well he plays in the NHL vs AHL. Not that he's bad in the A. Gibbons just strikes me more as a player that needs to be with a good player to shine.
