Solid stint with the Habs. We got more out of him than I thought we would at first!

Damn man, let’s hope Jordie Benn didn’t come here to read his farewell messages.

This just goes to show with pure hard work and dedication, when you're drafted you can also make a team give your brother a career and maybe he will make the most of it like Jordie did.

Though he didn't play in the NHL last year, there are now only 4 players left in the league (Bogosian, Benn, ROR, Reaves) left who don't wear visors.

Couldn't produce an outlet pass to save his life but he was indeed a solid warrior for the Habs for a few years there.

He was a good player. It is absolutely insane that he went straight from the BCHL to ECHL. You rarely see that. Undrafted and played 600 NHL games.
The Benn brothers have both had amazing careers given the odds and absolutely surpassed expectations.

They're all older players so they're just not used to wearing one but all it takes is one bad incident for them to realize how reckless it is to not wear one. There's been more than enough examples of it, all gruesome as well.
