Popular Post SpudsSioux Posted 9 hours ago Popular Post Posted 9 hours ago It's funny but that game seems SO long ago. It was one, if not the worst, games of his career. Many on here wanted him in a suit the next game and I think many of us watched to see how Jax would handle it. Would Ben get a free pass being a senior and captain? Or would a tone be set. He didn't sit him, but he did bump him down to the fourth line the next game and Ben responded by scoring his first shift. He hasn't looked back since. I think it shows two things. One, that Jax wasn't all talk. He showed very early that there weren't going to be free passes this year. It also shows that Ben is the type of leader we want and need. He didn't pout; he found another level. When Jax talks about there being a clear delineation between the type of guys that chose to stay and the type that chose to leave, this example sticks out to me. 2 5 Quote

I was one of the ones who thought he should have watched a game from the stands, but was willing to trust Jax with the right way to handle the situation, which appears to have been managed masterfully. In retrospect, I also think it was beneficial that the disaster was on a Saturday night where there was a week of practice to work through it ... had it been a Friday night game, I think there is a high probability it would have been handled differently. Speaking of this, it turned out it was Menghini who sat the Friday game at Clarkson. Menghini who has 1 goal for 1 point on the year. I can't say he is playing poorly as I felt he was noticeable for the right reasons this past weekend (speed and hustle), but somehow we need to get this guy contributing more offensively. Quote
