Its Matt Cooke all over again. Dude should have been lifetime banned like 20 different times. They don't care.

Well, let's hope someone from Toronto pulls a Bertuzzi on Bennett and ends his career. I think most hockey fans would smile with glee seeing that piece of poo never be able to play hockey again

Bettman won't do poo until someone dies on national TV.

Really excited to see how old man strength takes Aho's game to another level!

Pretty sure baby came on Friday... Luckily for all involved, Aho's have impeccable timing!

the thing is even the Authentic jerseys are trash now, they are this weird stretchy fiber instead of a mesh jersey. Definitely more fragile than old jerseys again Nike/Fanatics is ruining jerseys

Daddy Aho

As dirty as the hit on Freddie was, Bennett's cheap shot on Stolarz was 20x worse. The fact this turd continues to get away with dirty plays like this is crazy. NHL is such a joke of a league Hopefully Toronto gets revenge and ends Bennett's career and/or life for all I care. World would be a safer place if Bennett didn't exist

a little context would help if you are going to keep posting that

Is this for the whole season or just after his benching?

If he just stays the same, he'll be good enough to win a lot of games, with an average defense and an improved cast of skilled players around him. And let's be honest. This team was at the bottom of the barrel in that department the last 2 seasons. Hopefully, they've inserted a little more juice this off season. No knock on Adam Thielen, but if he's your number one option at this stage in his career, something is very wrong.

Honestly, I wouldn't care if he Pele kicked the ball to the receiver. As long as he makes the play.

One thing I’ll say about Koochie, try that on him and he will fight.

Married women are going to be less likely to want to get pregnant. There are lots of single women that would view Smitty as a cash cow. Get pregnant, have the baby, get 50k a month in child support for the next 18 years. It's Hoenomics 101.

I'd love to see the cherry pick that has Bryce Young as a top 10 QB. But I mean, if you are going to cherry pick it down to 3 games......then he isn't going to compare to the others if you were to afford them the same cherry pick logic. His best vs their best is still going to be.....miles apart. but that's the Bryce Young game at this point. And if you got to erase 85% of someone's play to make the argument.......that's not a good argument. I don't see the real gripe to be honest. I just think he has a low ceiling. I'm not advocating to bench him, get rid of him, or anything. In fact, I said, I think he can be a serviceable starter. He just doesn't have the tools IMO nor has shown enough to IMO to believe he can be much more than that at this level. Therefore, he isn't a big picture solution.

Bryce averaged 208 yards per game with a 61% completion since coming back. How is that top 10?

the evidence is his mechanics

Actually, what lines up with your ideas he is too short or small to be successful.? His passing completions or total yards? Bryce is going into his 13th game with a legitimate offense and good offensive coach. And during that time he went from the worst qb in the league to top 10 by the end of the year based on game production against a number of playoff teams. And he showed that he can lead comebacks and score under pressure at the end of the game and overtime. He stayed cool under pressure and was one of the best against the blitz by year end. That is the holy grail in quarterback traits and Bryce went from crumbling under pressure to stepping up and delivering strikes down the field. Maybe it is me but those kind of qualities far out weigh a few inches or a few pounds here and there. Everyone holds their breath when he get whacked by a 350lb linemen and exhales when he magically arises seemingly unfazed. And yeah when he is backpedalling and tosses one out there as if it is random only to float into Thielen's hand it seems just luck. Kind of like Russell Wilson years ago. But I think you are letting your past rob you of enjoying what I hope is happening which is the development of our franchise guy. And for the record I am all about bringing in competition at all positions including quarterback.

Speaking of based on facts and stats... BEHOLD MOAR CHARTS And for those that understandably don't Twitter/social media:

My take is that Bryce was terrible coming in but improved at the end of last season which did make me excited about watching this team again. If he continues to improve and look better (I hope he does) then we’re not in the market for a QB. If he regresses or doesn’t show signs of being anything more than a mid to low end starter we are probably looking for a QB next April. Excited to see what he can do and hope he can build on last seasons momentum.

well, if you compare him vs his peers based on facts and stats......that would favor my side of things vs yours. Would it not? because again, even when you uniquely cherry pick Bryce down to only games folks want to acknowledge (which means ruling out most of his NFL career).......where does that leave him?

I expect Bryce to probably regress a little the first half of the year vs where he left off and then improve some (he is young, I consider last year his rookie year in large part, and folks will study that film hard). I think he will be a serviceable starter. Low end of the middle of the pack. So like 20ish range in terms of starters.
