This is it. This guy has gotten away with too much. I would bench this guy for like three or four games. Hes not helping the Sabres anyways. It wouldn't hurt the team. Make him angry. Make him unhappy that he is not playing. Let the energy build within him. He will play better knowing that the Sabres benched him, and are having doubts about him. Think of how Curtis Brown has played better since he got benched. He is the old Curtis again. Not a 40 goal scorer, but that guy that will never hurt you in your own end. Let Connolly be mad at the coach and all his teammates. Let Connolly prove his coach and team mates wrong. The only way to do that though is by benching him.
