Here is an excerpt from the HabProspect.com article regarding Habs prospect, Mac Bennett who appears to be a real steal for Trevor Timmins and his scouting staff.....among many steals in a solid 2009 draft.
In the first period he displayed his smooth skating and speed by rushing the puck up ice but could not get past the defense. Later on he had a shot on net that was deflected wide, but was hitting teammated with tape to tape passes making it look easy. Towards the end of the first he got a good wrist shot on net from the high slot, forcing the goalie to make a good save. He also showed a willingness to take a hit to make the play in his own end and had one hit in the offensive zone after he couldn't keep the puck in. Cedar Rapids ended the first with a 2 to 1 lead.
In the 2nd period Bennett made a nice play while on the PK, as he broke up a 2 on 1 when he dropped to the ice to block the pass as he timed it perfectly. Continued to show good poise with the puck, never seemed to panic in any situation or at any area of the ice. While on the PP he took the puck from behind the net, turned the jets on as he rushed up ice, broke in the offensive zone and got the puck deep before getting it a teammate which led to Cedar Rapids only PP goal. The club had a 4-1 at the end of the second period.
