00:00Benson is 20. He turns 21 in two weeks. No, less than that. May 12th. So I guess that's
00:07Tuesday. Everybody's into Benson, you know? I just, I think there are fans whose favorite
00:15player is the star, the superstar. There are fans who enjoy not going in that direction
00:21and finding players that are more obscure. And then there can also be whatever other
00:28kind of reasons for how you gravitate to a favorite. But Benson, I think, kind of just
00:34has everybody. And the whole rat stuff with him, I wonder, he's probably been asked this,
00:40I wonder how much he chooses to embrace that. I mean, it's a compliment in hockey. He's not
00:47only, well, I guess this is what makes the famous rats, if you will, famous, is they're
00:54not just there to get their shots in. There's more to their game, often much more. And I
01:01don't know, like a part of me would think that Benson might not appreciate being kind
01:06of pigeonholed, if you will, in that one particular way. But probably publicly, it's better to
01:13use it. And maybe he doesn't always love it. But I think he has shown to be embracing the
01:20whole idea. What a player.
