He's so skilled and so skinny. He's the Troy Terry of defensemen.
Have to post the video, otherwise I would not believe it, but Simon Benoit actually scored. Pretty good shot back there, wish he used it more frequently. Hope he gets a long look in training camp next season since I assume he’s not gonna get any run in the final nine games of the regular season
I've been cheering for him as well. He needs to make the next step but I think it's ok for his type of a player to not be just quite there yet. Have to be patient.Off topic, but I met Benoit at an Irvine hotel during training camp of last season. Super nice kid. I really hope he makes it.
This will be a good test. We get a lot of wins against Reign, Sharks and Roadrunners who are bad teams. Knights are a legit teamSam Carrick to the taxi squad, Golod back to the Gulls. They play Saturday and Sunday at home against Henderson.
Gonna be a fun series...
Is it wrong that I’m looking forward to the Gulls game more than the Ducks?
Nope. If the Ducks don't bring their A+ game, then it's gonna be a bad. We're down three PK'ers in Rowney, Lundestrom, and Silf. That doesn't include missing Lindholm. With the Gulls, there's a lot of promise growing with Groulx and Andersson filling up the score sheets, Perreault adapting better, and Zegras at center. The Ducks' aren't a playoff team, might as well look forward to the future Ducks instead.
Yeah, Ducks are a mess now, even worse than last season before the Pandemic hit. These guys you mention, should hopefully make the Ducks within two years, obviously Zegras will next season, but would be nice if someone like Groulx or Perrault get a shot next year, although think Perrault will need one more season in the AHL before coming up. But he has been making excellent progress.
Perreault having to go back to juniors next year sucks. If he applies what he’s learned in the AHL in the second half of the season, he’s going to destroy the OHL next year. I’d rather have him in San Diego developing the defensive side of his game against superior competition
