That is the exact wrong play. The right play is to just whack it down the ice and get it deep. Not try to corral the puck and try a D that he doesn't even have the speed to beat, even if he was fresh, which he wasn't. If that's even Tanner Glass, there's no goal on this play because he throws it wildly to the corner. Completely irresponsible by Bennett.
**** like this (or tape to tape blind passes to Mike Green, Pavel Datsyuk, Luke Schenn, 15 Islanders, etc) is why two coaching staffs in a row have healthy scratched him and don't trust him late in games. It's not some weird conspiracy that you keep trying to spread, it's Bennett's actual play. It's obvious. You don't want to see it for the same reason you didn't want to see that Tangradi had a ton more problems than "just needs time to get accustomed to the speed of the game."
And even if Letang says to himself "You know, this Bennett kid's a real moron. I don't trust that he's making the right read" instead of "if Bennett's skating that up, he must think he can get free," he has no play on Ovechkin. Letang will be at a dead stop trying to defend the league's best scorer at full speed. Not happening.
A goal against was inevitable the second Bennett decided getting the puck deep on a line change was for peasants.
