Beau Bennett

Should have gained some momentum with a big game 2 to win to get the early spilt on the road, the pens can't seem to catch a break.

@FriedgeHNIC: RT @PensPRLady: Beau Bennett is out of the @penguins lineup with an upper-body injury. Scott Wilson takes his place http://t.co/SO8V36e9uG/s/2923

I'm more surprised when Bennett is not injured.

Upper body injury, meh. Bennett has been terrible all season, he questionably deserves to be in the AHL at best. Wilson might not have the raw talent that Bennett does, but he will certainly play a lot harder than Bennett has all season. This is the Penguins catching a break.

Interesting take. Admittedly, I don't know much of Wilson. Although I don't disagree with the sentiment that Bennett is injured so often he seems to be made of milk or that he has been otherwise underwhelming.

I am surprised he made through as many games as he did without getting injured. What a band-aid!

Unfortunate. There was a time (following 2012-2013 season) when myself, and others I'm sure, thought he was a lock as a top six winger flanking Crosby or Malkin. My things have changed.

So not true. He's not a band aid. He's an injured player prone to short healthy periods.

Agree with that assessement. Disappointing. I've chosen to forget about this guy until he's does something "NEW" to force me to take interest. But he'll not hold a spot on my roster.
