You know Benn and Tanev have virtually the career ppg. Also I think the pairing will help Hughes get more space because Benn is willing to shoot the puck. Last year Tanev go to thing to do in the offensive zone was to pass to Hughes and would always be hesitant to shoot.
I think horrible is a bit much. There wasn’t a massive hole in the net front line usual. Maybe Winnipeg was just looking for clean looks a little further out but it was improved imo. The following 2 periods were excellent though. I can’t recall a standout Demko save.First period was horrible and there's no way we should have been ahead.
Final 40 minutes was by far the team's most organized, cohesive effort this season.
Yeah he’s not Tanev. Tanev just played 23:43 against a team that averaged 6 goals a game against the Canucks in a shutout.Let's not get to exuberant with our praise here.....Yes Benn looks like a decent option atm to play with Hughes. He's still very limited offensively - which is fine - play just doesn't exactly flow incredibly smoothly in transition with him.

This is more of a Luke Schenn partner than a Tanev. That’s fine. He looks better than he did at any point last season.
Interesting idea, but Hughes regularly rips slappers from the blue line, particularly in the centre, on the PP.miller seems a bit frustrated and off since the ottawa series. maybe wait till he gets his legs going then the lotto line will fire on all cylinders. on pp unit one i like schmidt to move up in place of hughes or petey switch. opponents know hughes doesn't shoot , petey on the point ripping bombs will do wonders.
Disagree.Best skater on the ice by a good margin to my eyes was Boeser. It’s pretty telling how far his game has come when Green has him out late in the game defending a two goal lead.
Disagree.
BB has been brilliant, but I think Hogs was the best skater on the team.
I took that as a green light to get another one cooked up. Hopefully that’s ok.Also - hat tip to our MVP, @Ginger Papa . The GDT streak continues!
Brock is back!
But let's not forget Petey's accomplishment of 10 goals in his first 10 games (remember he was injured in that cheap hit from Matheson and out for 6 games) which has only been matched by the Great One.
In my experience people are pretty indifferent to hearing about how players have been deployed if the information is accurate. I think everyone can see Hughes is having more trouble defending in the early going. At this point I think teams are discussing defensive positioning against him in film sessions, looking at which directions he pivots when under pressure, etc. He's going to get that attention from here on out.People don't really want to hear it, but Hughes has been dropped to the 3rd pairing at ES.
ES TOI last night :
Myers 21:12 - Schmidt 18:31
Chatfield 17:33 - Edler 19:16
Benn 11:28 - Hughes 15:57
And yup, he's going to look a lot better shredding soft 3rd pairing minutes. Green has bailed on using him as an unsheltered high-minutes guy.

the senator has won one game so far this season.Sens have beat some good teams this year, It's not Automatic.
Canucks could have easily laid an egg in 1 or 2 of those games.
Winning all 3 is impressive
