91裸聊视频淚t was good. I91裸聊视频檝e said it earlier, coming off a long summer guys are getting really excited, competitive,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淚 think it91裸聊视频檚 gone well. They put me in a good spot to have success. I have obviously capitalized on the chances that I91裸聊视频檝e had. It91裸聊视频檚 been a fun weekend.91裸聊视频

In two of the three games Benik played, he was alongside Drake Caggiula and Jesse Puljujarvi, the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Benik said it was awesome to play with those two.

91裸聊视频淭he past four years I have been playing against Drake, (I) resented playing against him,91裸聊视频 said Benik, who finished with four goals on five shots during the Young Stars Classic. 91裸聊视频淗e91裸聊视频檚 a strong forward. He91裸聊视频檚 quick, has a lot of skill out there. To play on a line with him is obviously a lot of fun. You look at Jesse, he91裸聊视频檚 got the whole package. He91裸聊视频檚 big (listed at six-foot-three, 208-pounds), he91裸聊视频檚 strong, he can make plays. He91裸聊视频檚 smart with the puck. He91裸聊视频檚 defensive, he91裸聊视频檚 got it all.  Having the opportunity to play with both of those guys 91裸聊视频 has been good for me.91裸聊视频

There was no adjustment for with the highly skilled pair.

He used his speed and smarts to blend in. Benik said moving up from level to level, guys tend to be bigger, faster and smarter. The Andover, Minn., product said in some aspects it almost gets easier because the players are that much better. Following the win over the Jets, Condors coach Gerry Fleming said the trio sees the ice well and used their skill to execute.

91裸聊视频淭hey kept the game simple. They just executed simple plays,91裸聊视频 he said.

Fleming said Benik kept his feet moving and used his vision to make nice plays.

91裸聊视频淗e took the puck to the net. Did all the things we expected him to do,91裸聊视频 he said.

After signing with the Oilers, Benik watch four games and played in four and said that experience helped him. It allowed him to learn the systems. That gave Benik, listed at five-foot-10, 175 pounds, a comfort level. It also didn91裸聊视频檛 hurt that he was playing in a familiar venue.

91裸聊视频淐oming back to the SOEC was awesome,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淛ust for comfort level wise, it was that much higher for me.91裸聊视频

He also appreciated the cheers from the crowd. Benik took in the Vancouver Canucks game against Winnipeg, which featured his former Vees teammates Michael Garteig and Troy Stecher. He watched as some of the crowd went crazy when Stecher91裸聊视频檚 name was announced for an assist. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 good that they still kind of remember us, show that support,91裸聊视频 said Benik.
