It's a Beau-tiful night for hockey

Break down Bennett's debut in here. LGP!

He made a nice play so far and blocked a shot to get himself to the bench. It would be cool to see him get on the scoresheet tonight.

I missed the game how did he do? I hope they put him out there with Malkin/Neal/Crosby and Kunitz at times and not a full gave with the likes of Vitale/Adams and/or Glass

I thought he looked good. 11:37 of ice time. At one point he was on with 71 & 18. Thought he made a few nice plays & the only official shot he had was a good & sneaky one.

He looks alright so far, still a little hesitant along the walls, and in transition. But in the offensive zone, he has been creating space.

Once again I missed the game on Sunday! Dont ask....Anyway is he getting constant top 6 shifts or are they putting him on the bottom 6?

I am worried because I hope this doesn't go the fate of Tangradi where he is too afraid to make a mistake.

75% on the third line, 25% on the top two lines, would be my estimation. Which I don't have a problem with, as long as he stays off the 4th line. The third line is reasonably skilled, and he can work with them fine. That being said, I'd like to see him playing closer to 15 minutes per night, rather than 12 he has the past two games. Not sure if they are planning on ramping his minutes up or not.

I don't think he'll go the Tangradi route because he doesn't look as horrendous as Tangradi did. I'm more worried he ends up going the Dustin Jefferey route.

He was working with the 2nd PP unit in practice today.

Looks like Beau is still 3rd lining
