And what was his injury again?

Think they showed "lower body" at some point during the game.

Mantha is ribs.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

kaiser/figurski just said lots of nhl scouts in the van tonite plus fisher-draper-horcoff

Brodin for AA+Hirose please....(I know that offer would get beat, probably easily).

 

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

And what was his injury again?

Unspecified lower body

 

[theYman]

6 secs guys. We got this.

 

[TheMule93]

We didn't give up 5...thats a win in my book

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Unspecified lower body

Erectile dysfunction.

 

[SoupGuru]

The Wings give up 3.88 goals per game.

Is the solution to get Mantha back and rolling, hoping to score 5 goals a night to win?

Or is the solution to limit the goals against to where you only need 3 goals to win most nights?

I think it's a combination of both but you need to focus on defense first.

Was hoping Zadina would just keep shooting the puck on that last pp to try and get his hat trick.

He's a true team player, if no one else was going to shoot the puck, why would he?

 

[Bondurant]

Played best with an empty net. Moral victory. Someone brought molluscs.

 

[NervousPerson]

Abdelkader can’t even dump a puck my god

I'm behind live a bit and I thought these exact words. lol

 

[ArmChairGM89]

Zadina, only 29 seconds away from Larkin to lead the team in TOI

edit: forwards

 

[deca guard]

- zadina playing great at this stage of career . hustling like crazy every second of every shift , and always dangerous with puck
- really appreciate nemeths grunt work

 

[odin1981]

Well at least it was close....

 

[datsyukfan]

I'm behind live a bit and I thought these exact words. lol

How this guy is making the amount of money he is is embarrassing, and even more embarrassing is he is wearing an A on his jersey and is complete garbage. 0 goals on the season how embarrassing, the least he could do is honestly retire and be grateful he stole as much money from this organization as he did.

its like hes not even out there

 

[RedHawkDown]

Silver lining - Rantanen scored 38 pts on a crap Avalanche team during that throwaway year. Zadina will score a similarly minimal amount but has looked very dangerous all season. I believe we have a really great talent in him - as he continues to develop I can definitely see him becoming an elite scorer. A line of Laf-Larkin-Zadina would be incredible to watch.

also want Shane Wright in 2022 if we are still horrid by then

 

[NervousPerson]

Will Casper Ehn ever get scratched?

 

[datsyukfan]

Will Casper Ehn ever get scratched?

Pretty sure he was scratched the other day. He’s better than Abby

 

[NervousPerson]

Was he really? I wouldn't have noticed either way.

I mean that’s half of the forward group but ya

I think he’s on pace for 25 goals and 47 points over 82 games if my math is right. That’d be a hell of a rookie year for the bust that he is.

 

[Mlotek]

Well at least it was close....

Yes, it was nice for Minnesota to put 2 into their own net, otherwise it would have ended 4-0.

 

[jkutswings]

A cap dump with another term coming back along with a better pick wouldn't be out of the question...

Pittsburgh might be a good fit, both to add depth with a former player and to help them clear salary for another move or two.

And while I'll take a good return from anybody, I'd never object to Yzerman hoodwinking the Penguins.

 

[Dotter]

NBC guys said Zadina will be a top-9 player that tops out at 25-30 goals per. Then he scores 2 goals,

 

[Oddbob]

The goal where Howard looks like he lost the rebound, I actually think the initial shot stung him rather than he lost the rebound. He looks like he winces from the shot, split second loss of puck after and in. The goal where Cholowski was coming back slightly late, was on Biega. Cholo was on the left side and the Wild player blew past Biega, and Cholo actually had a good effort to try and get back although Howard should have stopped that one anyway. Still wondering how Perlini is even still up with the team, has 0 goals and provides nothing else, and the bad teammate thing is not an excuse, as most of our other players have at least scored a goal this year, and/or provide something else. Bowey is like hot potato with the puck in our end of the ice, 2 bad "giveaway passes" in the 1st 5 minutes of the game and he of course was himself the rest of the game.

NBC: (Bad at Hockey and it Shows)

Pierre: "Daley would be a tremendous add to any team for their playoffs, cause he won a Cup!" - Umm, what? He would be an add (maybe), that is about the best of it.
Eddie: "Wings have lots of structure!" - My eyes can't do any bigger of an eye roll on this!
Pierre and Eddie: Speaking about Daley for a large amount of time, when he has been brutal this season.
Eddie: Deferring to Pierre for his take on Zadina as if he has no idea who he is, than after Pierre is done speaking says, "The Wings are definitely building around him that is for certain" - .003 seconds ago you had no knowledge on him at all, now it is a certainty on his prospect status because you got a report from Pierre "Stinking" McGuire!
