Bennett wouldn’t waste his time on Looch. I hope my boy Neighbours goes with him again.
He might not have a choice in the matter.
Of course he has a choice. You think Lucic is gonna jump on guys and start throwing punches lol
He has before you know.

"lol"
You said he’s jumped on guys and started throwing punches before.

That was easy

I think he does. Personally, I think he belongs in the Bellview mental institution but I’m afraid he will never go.
Princess needs a therapist and a few hundred hours on the couch. I heard her last therapist committed suicide….

I agree, it was a bad move by the coach to dress him and only play him a couple minutes. Just because the player insists they are good to go because they want to help their team win that badly doesn't mean the coach should adhere. I was actually just talking to my fellow football coaches about how that's what we want to see from kids, rather than complaining about every little bruise - the ones who want it will play through anything, and it's the coach's job to hold them out. That same coach may have the same decision in the olympics, where Tkachuk is expected to play on Team USA after recovering from a sports hernia for which he had surgery in order to be healthy for the olympics and playoffs to help his teams win.
being involved in athletics for most of my life, it isn't even really the coaches job anymore to keep a player out or decide to dress them. That responsibility has been taken away from coaches at that level. The coach has next to 0 say of whether or not the player is going to go or not. If the training staff clears them (doctors, AT, strength and conditioning, etc etc.) the decision is made. The coach controls the decision on whether or not the player is good enough to play with the roster given in this case the GM. You are going to have a hard time living it down in 2025 if you don't let a player play who is deemed "worthy" by the fans. The coach 100 percent shouldn't be forcing players to play who are injured, which is why these barriers are put in place.

Yes, the coach gets to decide if backup Johnny's 100 percent is better than starter Billy's 50 percent. But again, that's not really the point here.
Very good points. Hopefully it's not the same training staff in the olympics.

I am pretty sure this is bleedr and i am pretty sure he lives up north probably from where petro was born seeing as how thats pretty much the obnly person he praised and he didnt come around till after petro became a great player. I have been on this bored since about 2005 when i was in school and we drafted johnson oshie perron berglund petro ect. I am pretty sure hes is a P[ositively] O[bnoxious] S[impleton] in canada

Amen to all three points.

(As to your first point, it's remarkable that virtually every thread the past few months has gone off topic, name-calling, etc. And the same ones do it. Over and over.)

You said he’s jumped on guys and started throwing punches before.

That was easy
You never seen him punch Parayko?
You never seen him punch Couture?

2 non-fighters that turned the cheek - Bennett's natural instinct would be most likely to fight back

Meaning: he might not have a choice in the matter (like I said originally)

"That was easy" (only a lamebrain couldn't understand that)

You think Bennett will tuck tail and skate away like Parayko, Couture (and many others).

Parayko didn't "tuck tail". He laughed it off and caused Lucic to get a 2 minute penalty and a 10 minute misconduct instead of engaging with one of the toughest guys in the league. Very smart move in my opinion. I guess it is a matter of perspective.
