I do it all the time too, and I’m Italian (and a little Polish – that might explain it)

Gabbi, Renney benches Zherdev all the time! What else do you want from the guy? (sarcasm)

Wow Gabbi, spelling defenseman with a “c.” Very Canadian of you!

Want to know what I find so amazing?

The Canadiens told Alex Kovalev not to come with them on the trip, and that he should take some time off. So in essence, the Habs are benching their third overall team scorer (13 goals 26 assists for 39 points) while extreme underperformer Wade Redden (2 goals 7 assists) gets to play game in and game out and cannot get reprimanded for laying an egg.

Now some might say “well Kovalev’s a winger and Redden’s a “defenceman”.”

Just because they’re a defenceman dosen’t mean they can’t score. I mean look at Mike Green! The guy’s got 22 goals and 28 assists so far!

The Candadiens bench one of their key guys for the last few years because he’s been slumping. Wade Redden’s laid an egg since day one and still laces up the skates. Just another part of the joke, right?
