Illegitimi non carborundum.

Tyler Benson.

Averages 8:38 of ice time.

Played 7:13 with his coach on the bench. Not sure he played a shift in the 3rd period.

No points, no shots. But he was +1. He did have 3 hits so way to blow his per game average out of the water.

What a game!!!! I am seeing the light.

In comparison.
Niemelainen, a guy drafted the same year. No points but 2 pims, 2 shots, 7 hits, 1 block, 2 giveaways, playing a tougher position. Pretty solid game for him in 11 mins. Was pretty noticeable.

PIMs are not a positive stat

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.

Wait, they’re not? I was pleased with 4 PIMs from Evander tonight, for my fantasy teams anyway 😉

Leave Benson alone!



OK, for real though. Next game. Do or die time for Benson.

I thought he had a pretty solid game for a 4th liner. Noticed him win a few battles.

Definitely becoming a fan of what nemo brings but that could be because it’s something no one else in our regular d corps brings consistently

No points but 2 pims, 2 shots, 7 hits, 1 block, 2 giveaways, playing a tougher position. Pretty solid game for him in 11 mins. Was pretty noticeable. Not sure if comparing a 4th line fwd who wasn't going to get much ice time among 11 dressed anyway, and a D who saw lots of time in his own zone is a fair comparison. I liked MN tonight as well, but he's a large D and Benson is a LW. As far as Benson goes, maybe you put Perlini in there but although I like his willingness to snipe, he's a soft player for a big dude. I probably don't see the point of getting on a young 4th liner at league minimum when the team doesn't have guys right now that are a lock to be above him at LW. Holloway when he arrives will move Perlini and Benson further down. I think Benson's +1 was due to a board battle won by him that freed the puck and triggered the events that led to a GF. Pretty effective given his toi I thought. I'd love to see a couple guys in the bottom 6 who can skate and finish guys, but there aren't any. I'd probably deride the GM for that rather than Benson.

The point of my post was I compared Benson to Perlini to point out that a lack of ice time is not an excuse to not produce anything on the ice. Perlini has been able to score 4 goals playing the same role with similar ice time. But someone made the comment that the reason Perlini has some level of success in limited action and Benson none, is a lack of experience for Benson. So I pointed out that Niemelainen who has even less experience than Benson was able to step in tonight, playing a much tougher position of defense vs left wing and was able to make plays that not only showed up on the stat sheet but comtributed to a win.

If you decide to dress 1 less forward, that should mean that there should be more ice time to spread around between less players yet he played 1 full min and change less than his season average and might have seen the ice 1 time for a short shift for the whole 3rd period. That's with the coach that should know him best of all considering he coached him for 4 years and helped develop him.

It's 1 game so maybe things will change. I am not sorry that Tippett is gone what so ever as changes clearly needed to happen but if he can't get regular icetime from the coach that coached him for 4 years then maybe that says something about him and it wasn't just mean old Tippett holding back a young player. Woodcroft wanted to win tonight so in a 2-1 game, Woodcroft decided his best chance to win was not having Benson come over the boards for a whole period. So that says to me, he saw something he didn't like. Just saying.

I alway liked the Navy.. it just looks sharp..

I like the Team Canada jerseys in black as well.. it says keep you head up.

Compare to Sweden yellow.. hard to take someone wearing a yellow suit seriously.

JMHO
