Is that something he could pass tomorrow and play tomorrow night?

Also, looks like Kennedy is still in and Bennett is out.

Anger... rising...
Bennett and Despres need to play as much as possible to get as much experience as possible so they are ready for the playoffs. Also they are better than people who are left in there playing. That seems to be important too.

I agree with you 110%. But Kennedy is being showcased, hard to sell something you have sitting in the booth upstairs collecting dust.
Same goes for Engelland and why he isn't being benched in place of Despres/Bortuzzo.

And Orpik-Letang has been a proven failure. It sucked again in MTL.

I don't know why they got away from the Letang-Niskanen/Despres pairing.

I'm not sure that I agree, but I did laugh.
