Is Bennett the real deal?

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

tbh, in an ideal world Bennett most likely gets more time to develop on the 3rd line, but this isn't an ideal world because Shero thought he didn't need 4 real top 6 wingers and right now we only have 1 who acts like it. I'm also not sure how much more time that would be.

That's what I'm sayin'

If the top six doesn't get it's **** together post-haste, I see that move being made sooner rather than later. Hornqvist is the only one playing like he should be playing, right now. And obviously Dupuis' situation makes things even trickier.

Only limited by his far too numerous injuries. I debate his positioning as a LW however. He seems to instinctively gravitate to ths right side. Most of his goals that I recall have come from the right and even that nifty pass to Sutter the other night came from driving down the Right Wing.

Penguins going with some live power play work here. Top unit unchanged. Flower in goal. Beau Bennett takes Dupuis' spot on No. 2 unit.

Yay.

Vision and skill and smarts. I wish he was a step quicker, but I don't know what else you want in a hockey player.

His inability to stay healthy is his only problem. In the end, I see him as a playbmaking winger who gets center type numbers.

Funny considering their injury histories are similar as well, I think best case scenario for Bennett is similar production to a guy like Ales Hemsky.

I like the comparison, but Bennett doesn't have the wheels that Hemsky does

bennett came back last year muuuuch faster than he was at the start. he looked a bit faster last game than the first three. hopefully after the knee is behind him we'll see a bit more speed from him

that should have happened even without Dupuis' injury. Though maybe you could argue that Dupuis should have stayed because he is a left shot but Bennett needs to be on the 2nd unit and running it from the half wall.

 

[BobCole]

Ales Hemsky actually is an apt comparison, IMO. A RH playmaking winger with underrated skills in areas like boardplay and play away from the puck.

Nice. PP1 hasn't been impressing me lately, though.

Hey, if a 15 year-old can con his way into an NHL job, I'm willing to cut the kid a little slack.

Bort is constantly making funny faces or there's almost falling in the post win celebration after the Rangers game. I do feel like Despres is being left out.

He doesn't put in the same effort. Did you see his piss-poor attempt at the ice bucket challenge?

[PensFreak]

His vision and passing alone make him a good top 6er. Top level.

His dad is such an awkward penguin, he never had a chance. Though I guess that's where he gets the size from.

Those first 3 pics - that's some serious Theon Greyjoy action 47 has going there. Right down to the unhinged insanity vibe. I quess from a certain perspective, you could see similarities between Bylsma and Bolton.

Bylsma = Roose
Brooks Orpik = Ramsay Snow

This thread is getting all kinds of awesome all of a sudden... Totally off the OP topic, but that's probably for the best.

I guess you are not up to date with Throwns if you are still referring to Ramsay as a Snow.
