Red Wings Prospect Tracker - Part VIII

as far as people saying Mantha plays the pk don't all junior superstars do that?

quite many do that, yes.

Of all the Russians I feel Mantha will be most similar to a Malkin than OV. But I'm just basing this off YouTube videos.

Game 5 beginning in less than an hour. I'll edit this post later on to keep you guys updated.

Val d'Or's coach, Mario Durocher, fined for criticizing officials' work. Especially for the games in Val d'Or, it was terrible. Some of the worst I've seen all season. Durocher said, among other things, that the refs have to cut down on all the hooking and interference BC is doing in their zone.

...

intense start in Baie-Comeau. Game is already 2-2, Mantha just had a great rush to the net coming off the wing and over-powering the D. Henley couldn't convert on the rebound. Ranger jumped on the loose puck and went on a breakaway (was awarded a penalty shot but couldn't score). Lots of chances already on both sides.

Seems like Mantha has a good shot at player of the year. Guess it depends on how they view Connor Brown, though.

Well, if you're a superstar you probably have decent hockey sense and stick skills. That would come in handy when on the PK.

Ya it should be interesting. I think Manthas goals will give him an edge

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

VDO is getting pounded so far. They're still in it down 2-3, but BC put like 25 shots on them in the first period.

 

[Mathletic]

reviewing the goal Mantha cleaning up after his teammates ... goal is allowed, not sure what they were looking at, maybe some interference on the goalie but nothing blatant, so another goal for Mantha and it's now 3-3

... on a side note, loving the Bills draft with Watkins (paid the price though) and Kouandjio. Lions not too bad either, really like that Ebron kid.

...

game is over, Drakkar win it and take the 3-2 lead in the series. Mantha had his chances, puck couldn't cross the red line. Great game for Zykov, 2G and 3A did some great work in corners.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Apparently the VDO-BC game is no goalies allowed now. They've scored 3 goals in like 2 minutes now. 6-4 BC lead. Zykov 5 point game.

 

[Whitesnake]

Val D'Or lost tonight, losing 3-2 in the series.

Guelph (Bertuzzi) wins the OHL championship!!!!!!! Got a pic with him after the game too!

Nice! Great for Baby Bert.

Will Mantha be heading to Grand Rapids immidietely after next game if they lose?

Isn't the "top scorer" award handed out the the player with most points, like the Art Ross in the NHL?

Lots of awards I never heard of too.. Guess only Defenseman and player of the year are relevant.

I think Mantha should have a clear edge on Brown because of the team theyre both on. Val D'or doesnt have a McDavid or Dane Fox to take pressure off of him. The goals edge is big enough to be significant as well

GP too no? Brown played 11 more games, Mantha would have beaten him in points too quite easily if he had played the same amount of games.

looks like it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHL_Top_Scorer_Award

not sure why they have nominees when you know who'll win it in advance. At least, if it went to the top offensive forward I could understand but anyways.

Yeah, I'm sure if youre missing time because youre hurt or something the voters might let that hurt your stock but when you miss the time because Mantha was busy dominating at the world juniors on a team Brown couldnt make it wont hurt you

Big-time Bert leading the Storm charge

 

[Mathletic]

not looking good for Mantha. Fell awkwardly in the corner. Looks like he hurt his knee. Hope no ligaments were touched there. Couldn't put weight on his leg as he tried to go back to his bench.

 

[InjuredChoker]

damn matt cooke at it again.

 

[Mathletic]

good news, should be back in the game

 

[FlashyG]

I wish I could watch these games.

Looking at the box score it looks like Val D'or just took a 3-2 lead on a shortie.

edit - Now its tied 3-3
edit 2 - 4-3 Val D'or

 

[lgrwmike]

5-3 Val D'or, Mantha with an assist.
