Well deserved.
🐐
Well deserved…..but he might surprise some where he plays up in the line up especially when we need a goal or some emotional boost
Nothing more pathetic than a reporter that can't even fucking talk.
Let’s face it Sam should have been named to this team from the start. I would venture to say he should have been in the group of 6 players initially named.
Never wanna see a guy get hurt but he should have been on the team in the first place. Canadas chances of winning just got better.
It’s great that this guy is on the team.
Can you show NHL how to do more than 720p content please? Thanks!
He looks annoyed lol
He's overrated. He cheats time and again. Team Canada will have to rely on the usual guys and not the overrated Panthers players.
Tough problem to have,soooo many great Canadian players
Bringing up old questions buddy,he s going to,we’re good he s good,let s goooooooooo
Хоккейный Бог всегда за справедливость……Сэм Бэннет просто не мог не поехать на Олимпийский игры…….он заслужил это……своей игрой и преданностью пантерам и своим победным золотым голом на Турнире 4 Наций! Поздравляю Сэм!
Should have been named to the team since day 1 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Did the guy at 2:15 have the hiccups or was he mentally defunct
So happy to have Sam on the team 🇨🇦❤
