A lot of you guys have turned on Benn pretty damn quickly. Everyone knows he’s at the end of his career and isn’t contributing a lot outside the locker room. Yea, he takes some dumb penalties—usually trying to stir up this mostly apathetic bunch by giving the body up, picking fights, showing some aggression, trying to intimidate etc—but that guy has given you all and this team everything he had. I have seen people acting like he needs to be flung into the sun, run out of town, whatever, and it’s sickening. You are buying the r/hockey hate train, and it’s embarrassing.

He will forever be a Dallas stars legend, give the guy some damn respect. He gave his career to this team, city, and fans. He carried this org thru some awful dark seasons, and doesn’t deserve some of you fans shitting on him like a bunch of fucking avalanche, mild, or wings fans. The guy gave this team a spine and a heart. This guy fought any man that he had to for this club. We need it tonight more than ever. Criticize his errors, that’s fine. Question his judgement, fine too—but show our guy some respect as he concludes his career. I won’t turn on a guy that gave us everything in pursuit of a cup for this fanbase and city.

Thanks, Cap. If tonight is the end, thanks for all of the great years, fights, goals, wins, and the leadership you offered leading by example End rant.
