Are you suggesting a Tkachuk may be an unsavory character?

This has to be part of some long con. Get hopes up, crush them even harder.

Beginning to feel that way

Dang I just saw the Bennett elbow and it feels like a stretch to even be a penalty? But... it's Sam Bennett, so I'm on board with that angle.

I'm gonna say it: Brady's not unsavory.

I'm gonna say it: Brady's not unsavory.

There's a difference between him and Matthew. Brady's more of a yapper (which I hate too) than a cheap-shot artist, whereas Matthew chews on his mouth guard and looks for late hits and cross-checks. I don't think Brady is pure of heart in any sense, he's had some dirty hits, but I'll admit a difference.

Sam Bennett has such serial killer vibes. Just dead eyes all the time. He's a free agent this summer and while I don't want to root for him, maybe the safest place for him to be is in your team's locker room.

Same, feels weird

Yeah kinda feel the same way honestly but boy I had not seen a lot of the hits mentioned in the above thread. Dude is an asshole and a menace.

Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett won’t face any supplemental discipline for his forearm to the head of Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz, league sources said.

Stunning turn of events

[Grand Moff Larkin]

So which Leav is sitting for Reeves next game?
