It's almost as if he knows the coach is looking to bench him for the smallest mistakeMantha looks like a guy with no confidence. He’s overthinking everything out there and doesn’t look like he feels comfortable with his assignments or the puck. Sucks to see.
Yeah that hasn’t helped but he’s regressing. He looks like the equivalent of a quarterback seeing ghosts in the secondary. He’s not trusting his instincts, looks like he’s second guessing where he’s supposed to be, and he’s hesitant to make plays with the puck. A goal would really help him.It's almost as if he knows the coach is looking to bench him for the smallest mistake
Twice now I've looked up to a replay and thought it was an inexplicable clip from an Avalanche gameThese Blue Jackets jerseys look like a cross between the Kings and the old Colorado alternates. They dont look like CBJ jerseys at all
I actually don’t hate them but these are still my favorite of theirs. Slim pickings to choose from.These Blue Jackets jerseys look like a cross between the Kings and the old Colorado alternates. They dont look like CBJ jerseys at all

Nope. That's entirely on Kuzy. Mantha set up a great shot for him and he HAD to make one more pass as usual.Oh dude, Mantha....
That should have been pinned behind the Jackets net and instead like 4 seconds later it's in theirs.
Yeah about five minutes ago i started thinking, ‘hmmm, i hope we dont lose this in regulation. Cuz it’s starting to feel like a distinct possibility’This team is not very good.
Thisno sense of urgency from Caps while their playoff hopes disappear.
Not entirely. Shot, pass, whatever, possession came to the Jackets slowly behind their net and Mantha didn't move his feet once as the first man to pressure, got there very late when he could have easily contested and pressured with any intensity.Nope. That's entirely on Kuzy. Mantha set up a great shot for him and he HAD to make one more pass as usual.
Kuzy has the hockey IQ of Will Ferrell in that ice skating movie. That once in a blue moon circling with fancy pass from behind the net doesn’t change that.Nope. That's entirely on Kuzy. Mantha set up a great shot for him and he HAD to make one more pass as usual.
Yep. I don't want to see any stupid trades by BMac looking to save his hide.Yeah about five minutes ago i started thinking, ‘hmmm, i hope we dont lose this in regulation. Cuz it’s starting to feel like a distinct possibility’

Even that assist was luck. He had a pass come right back to him off a Columbus player during that sequence.Kuzy has the hockey IQ of Will Ferrell in that ice skating movie. That once in a blue moon circling with fancy pass from behind the net doesn’t change that.
Yes, entirely. Kuzy turned it over and didn't chase the guy he gave it away to. It's on him and only him, he should've one timed the perfect pass he got. Mantha did exactly what you'd want him to do on offense. Or I guess you can blame the LD for being out of position too.Not entirely. Shot, pass, whatever, possession came to the Jackets slowly behind their net and Mantha didn't move his feet once as the first man to pressure, got there very late when he could have easily contested and pressured with any intensity.
I'm not even usually the Mantha doesn't hustle guy but that one was bad.
