They've been the hottest line in hockey going back to last year. Gonna take more than 10 games to prove themselves though.
Whats key is that Mantha seems to have taken an enormous step forward this year. After ending last season on a high note, he dominated the worlds for team Canada last spring. Then he dominated preseason, and now he's carried that momentum into the regular season. This guy is finally realizing his potential as a 6'5 fast skating beast with awesome hands and an incredible shot. Previously his effort level was always questionable, but man, he's different now. A complete terror out there. I mean, check out this goal from him last night:
Larkin took his big step forward last year, Mantha is doing it this year. Bertuzzi looks like he picked up where he did last year as well. Great complimentary player with high hockey IQ and vision, best board battler ive ever seen, great at tipping pucks, and a good shot to boot. Hopefully they can keep it up, we haven't had a first line this good in a long ass time.
