GDT: WSH and CBJ 7:00 PM

[mad4comp]

Nothing says great coaching like putting your two slowest players out on 3v3 hockey.

I mean starting them every night is just as bad a strategy. They shouldn't be on the ice.. yet they have no problem benching and sending other more productive players down... for those two. Shameful by ownership/management/coaches really.

 

[Drakon]

Mantha on his line might be the reason.

Mantha actually had a good night, should've had two assists.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Our fate was already sealed before this game, but damn…

How do you lose 7-6 to CBJ??

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

As much as I love him, a conversation needs to be had about Oshie at some point……

 

[shtorm2005]

All you can do is laugh

Oshie and Backstrom are cooked. It’s over. You can’t win with them in your top 6.

Mantha actually had a good night, should've had two assists.

He did look better, but he has zero finish.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

For a veteran team, they sure make a lot of dumb ass decisions with the puck.

[Misery74]

Blaming Oshie for giving up 7 goals, to the worst team in the league, at home, with a 3 goal lead, seems a tad bit misguided.

 

[marcel snapshot]

nah. he's done it all on his own

If he’s hurt, he should sit. If not, he’s our #1 center, and is a passenger vs one of the worst teams in the NHL

 

[um]

Mantha actually had a good night, should've had two assists.

Mantha seems to get opportunities, but he’s to slow and indecisive so nothing happens.

He’s got no killer instinct.

This game surely seals Laviolettes fate, blowing a 3 goal lead to Columbus all I gotta say is wtf lol

I dunno, I think he created for his linemates pretty well tonight, they just shit the bed on easy chances that Mantha gifted them.

 

[Calicaps]

So yeah, Oshie blew it in OT, but he also was 1-1-2 for the night. Other guys were much worse.

 

[Misery74]

Yeah, you would think. Truly embarrassing.

 

[Pigskin]

Go Detroit !

 

[BallardEra]

Mantha seems to get opportunities, but he’s to slow and indecisive so nothing happens.

He’s got no killer instinct.

2 goals in his last 31 games.

 

[um]

Goalies seem to have no problem keeping up with him.

Even cross crease passes from Mantha aren’t threatening, because it comes too late.

Yeah, gonna have to agree to disagree there. They missed wide open nets.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

I realize Mantha generates chances but the dude doesn’t produce. At this salary it just isn’t good enough.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Mantha sucks and the sample size is large enough now to recognize that he needs a change of scenery.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Mantha sucks and the sample size is large enough now to recognize that he needs a change of scenery.

I have no doubt the player wants to get a new opportunity too.

I was of the opinion that they should’ve let him go last year after the Florida series.

No idea why they kept him, he has a grand total of 3 playoff wins over the course of 3 years with us
