This thing with the Stars broke yesterday; somebody's obviously pissed off in Texas.....maybe everyone.
For the record, Benn has 30 points (15 goals) and Seguin 32 points (11 goals) thus far this season, both in 38 games. Also, Benn is the highest paid player in the League this season, which I assume he's under some pressure to pick up to a level at least some distance north of a point per game. Of course, Seguin just signed a new deal for almost $10 million per, so he's feeling it himself. Stars are tied for the 8th in the West.
Meanwhile, ESPN (and presumably outlets in Canada) is reporting that Benn has gone public, saying he doesn't play for the CEO who made the comment, but rather his teammates and coaches. It sounds like Seguin is taking a more measured position, admitting both he and Benn need to do better. Evidently, neither player ever talks to this Lites guy; then again, I'm not sure a guy like Dave Morehouse ever talks to his roster, either.
But this guy is obviously drawing some kind of strange line in the sand. From my POV, Lites damned well better have some hi-res pictures of one (or both) of these guys in bed with a horse and owner Tom Gagliardi's married daughter.....because I sure can't figure out how else he can even dream of winnng a PR battle with the two faces of the franchise.
