Is it true that one of the Flames Media people asked Bennett, "So what do you think of McDavid dodging ya?" ?

Is it just me, or does Pat Steinberg look like thatFogell nerd from Superbad lol

First question in the scrum for @SBennett93, "why is McDavid dodging you" as EDM chooses not to dress him tonight.

I'm an Oilers fan living in Calgary, and Steinberg is actually a solid radio guy. Puts all the Edmonton and Toronto guys to shame IMO.

Heard Steinberg on the pregame show on the radio last night. He was pretty much gushing over McDavid and sounded really excited to watch him play.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Oh I listen to a lot of Steinberg too. He's pretty good and balanced I'd say.

What up Gangstas. Chicka Chicka Yeahhh

 

[Psychoil]

Steinberg is awesome. Can't hate the guy even tho I hate the flames.


Anyway score goals, hit the bodies. I got a feeling I'm gonna love slepyshev

i cant stand him but i feel that way about most radio guys that have never actually played a sport in their life and talk about dressing room culture etc as if they have been there. He is 100% Mclovin though

 

[CornKicker]

hahahahahaha

it is really hard not be excited about this young group of oilers coming up. that shot from Slepy last night was beauty

 

[Pomeranian]

Why play him in back to back games in a meaningless tournament?

"It doesn't matter if you've played 100 games in the League or you haven't played any, everyone has to earn a spot again," Bennett said. "That's what I'm going to try and do."

Earned never given.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Earned never given.

McDavid has pretty much said the same thing. Oilers have always sat their top guys one of the games as they play an extra game against the golden bears.

 

[Mr Positive]

Earned never given.

it's kind of a platitude though. Hartley already said that Bennett is going to start the year as a middle six center on the Flames

 

[nabob]

Earned never given.

Connor said the e act same thing before the tournament. He even is staying in the hotel with the rookies who are trying out for the team and assuming nothing.

Id be will to bet that Drai sits against the Jets.

 

[nabob]

Is it bad that I wanna see Bennett get mcdavid'd tonight?

Shrug off a body check and get a goal and an assist?

Nah Id rather see him held pointless and be ineffective

Yup, it's nothing new.

Only "If" he makes the team, will he play centre. The Flames have not guaranteed him a roster spot he has to earn it and "if" he makes the team he has to earn his ice time or get sat. Just like every Flames player, i.e. Dennis Wideman.

Name me one team that McDavid wouldn't make? We're talking McDavid here not Bennett or Draisaitl who are far lesser players in spite of being a year older.

Also as others have said there is also the Golden Bears game, do the Flames prospects have any games outside of this tournament?

Yup .. heard they play the Dinos next week too

 

[Bryanbryoil]

O.k. so it'll be interesting to see if they play Bennett every single game or if they give him a night off.

Good for you guys

Flames >>>>>>>> Oilers amirite?

 

[The Bored Man]

Earned never given.

He can earn his spot in regular training camp.

Lighting up the Flames rookies wouldn't prove much one way or the other.

Maybe different principles apply to an inferior prospect like Bennett.

 

[nabob]

Flames >>>>>>>> Oilers amirite?

Yes and

Bennett = McDavid apparently

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Yes and

Bennett = McDavid apparently

Still glad we got Drai over Bennett too. Better compliment to McDavid

What a disingenuous statement. Bennett is not McDavid. McDavid would be the clear-cut number 1 centerman on the Flames right now. There's not a team in the NHL that McDavid wouldn't make on the opening night. But maybe you'll come back here with your comments when Bennett sits for the last game of the tournament, hey?

Did a ninja edit just happen? None of this is making sense.
