  1. Not one potential replacement for Quinn has played better than Benson all preseason. Not. One.
  2. Can’t teach what Benson just did.
  3. By far Ryan Johnson’s worst showing to date.
  4. Benson has shown time and time again that he knows where to be.
  5. My post was totally tongue in cheek. Nothing serious about it.
  6. When I think about @LGR4GM’s point about how Benson would still play his game whether he’s skating with the top line or a bottom group, I think the concerns about his strength and physical maturity are misplaced. Granato seems to echo that idea as well. Benson imposes his game on the opponent, regardless. Given what we’ve seen so far, he’s been playing like one of our top 12 forwards. The big question for me is where is his development as a hockey player best served? It certainly isn’t at the junior level any longer imo, and the AHL is off limits.
  7. They should play UPL again. It’s one thing to give up goals to a lineup of scrubs, but quite another when it’s future HOFers getting pucks past you. Allowing five or six goals to the likes of Crosby, Malkin, and Karlsson would be a real confidence builder for Oopie.
  8. Yep. VO’s atrocious D play and weakness along the boards is on video for the entire league to see.
  9. I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. Just saying Rosen and Kulich might benefit is all. Again, I didn’t mean to imply Benson wasn’t good enough in his own right.
  10. Taking nothing away from Benson as he’s looked good, but might Kulich and Rosen look better with TT and Skinner, too?
  11. News broke last spring or so that he was being treated for prostate cancer, but he said the treatment was successful and that he is in remission. But his speech is just not there like before. He sounds much like someone undergoing speech therapy after a stroke. I hope he’s gonna be ok, regardless.
  12. Did he have complications from his prostate cancer treatment over the summer?
  13. A souvenir for a lucky fan from the Sloan Kiwanis Club. Good times.
  14. Nope. I have no room on my team for a guy who licks opponents’ faces.
