TB missing the playoffs even with all those points we spoon fed them would be such poetic justice.

The soft Tampa team tried to play physical for 2 minutes and Red Wings folded like a beach chair. Mra5ek sucks. He needs off this team ASAP!

Mantha made of glass. Had a hang-nail and gets an early vacation to the Bahamas.

Thats why if your team is gonna be ****, you should have some tough guys on the roster instead of Drew Miller, Nosek and Sheahan floating around out there scared to stick up for anyone. The best young player on the team is out with a broken finger in a meaningless game because a career AHLer tough guy sucked him into a fight.

It was like the equivalent to Abdelkader fighting Drouin. Dont need a heavyweight but the wings traded everyone with a back bone pretty much and it showed when that career AHLer sucked Mantha into that fight and no one did anything about it

Can't really disagree with this. Mantha shouldn't be feeling the need to fight anyone other than other top6 players. We should have someone, somewhere, to handle the plugs. Hope McKee shines in Toledo.

Kid probably feels he needs to fight to be in lineup due to his coach being an idiot

McIlrath is supposed to be a good face puncher. Kronwall needs to go on LTIR yesterday.

how about they just don't fight period because its stupid instead of wasting a roster spot on an "enforcer" who sucks at actually playing hockey?

mantha was fighting earlier in the year even with Ott on the roster.

There's 2 ways to make fans love you, score goals or fight. Players that do both become legends. (I think that is part of it). But, yeah I think the coaches message was to be more aggressive and engaged....
