GDT: Game 36: Columbus Blue Jackets @ Detroit Red Wings - 3/28/2021 - 3 PM ET

No offense, Mr Announcer, but the issue has never been Mantha's skating with the puck on his stick. It's when he doesn't that he needs to skate.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

anyone got the zadina hit gif

 

[lhsgolf19]

Ugh lol... damn trade bait

 

[theYman]

Well if we just limit Columbus to their 4 shots we might win this game

 

[Ezekial]

Man I'm fried, knew the game was at 2 my time at about 1:30, forgot, remembered it was on at 3 my time. Weak. Glad Geno potted one.

 

[theYman]

We need a good 5 goal cushion

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

There was a Columbus player waiting for the pass from his dman, looking back skating slowly out of the zone to receive the pass.

I see it and can't help thinking "that is the kind of play Kronwall would destroy you for."

 

[theYman]

Finish!!!!! Finish!!!! Finish!!!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I was mad at Hronek for not shooting. Then he makes a nice pass ot Mantha. But Mantha somehow misses the open net.

Can't decide who to be mad at.

 

[Gniwder]

They have Leine who is a super star

So is Mantha if he wants to be but both players aren't trying.

Ros being a moron by motivating Mantha right now though.

 

[HisNoodliness]

Why does Mantha always want to fight?

 

[SoupGuru]

Mantha had a fight and didn't break his hand so now he thinks he has a green light

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

So punching a guy in the face with your gloves on doesn't warrant a roughing call, but dropping the gloves and not throwing a punch apparently does.

 

[Ezekial]

Oof Vladdy took it hard.

 

[SoupGuru]

Ooof

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Mantha has been all over the place these couple games

He realizes he's:


7th in p/gp
4th in pts
2nd in G
26th in +/- (-13)
? in P/60

gets tons of PP TOI & shifts w/Larkin.
2nd highest paid player
TDL & offseason fast approaching

& the GM is SY!

 

[theYman]

Wipeout!! Lol

 

[Gniwder]

Mantha had a fight and didn't break his hand so now he thinks he has a green light

He plays better when he's mad. I'd give him the green light to fight even if it means injury risk.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

How are Mick and Ken talking about injuries from running into goalposts and not mentioning Yzerman?

If they had the system they use now instead of the magnets, Yzerman would probably be able to walk without a limp.

 

[Ezekial]

Why does Mantha always want to fight?

Idk but he always seems better when he wants to fight people.

I’m over it at this point. I don’t want to hear any excuses for Svech not being in the line up anymore. He might be among the most dynamic player with the puck on his stick. He doesn’t have stupid turnovers, every pass seems to find the receiver and he can shoot as well as anyone. Find a spot for him

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Did I miss much?

Sounds like Svetchnikov scored the goal and Jhoos got an assist -- they'll be back on the taxi squad next week.

And if that's intentional, and we plan on keeping both and starting them next year after maximizing our draft this year, I'm fine with that.

I'm subjugated to NBCSN, don't get Ken and Mick today

At least I get true hd

At the very least put him on the PP over Gagner when he is in the lineup.

When are the Wings going to play like this in front of Greiss?
