[Tatar Shots]

Hat trick for Mantha

 

[ap3x]

Glad to hear that, good for that kid. It's been a while that he got a couple of pts in a game, hasn't it?

 

[Filppula]

Awesome for Mantha!! Great for his confidence.

Last season: 62 GP, 15G, 18A
This season: 44 GP, 15G, 18A

Real progres.

There interviews are so much better.

 

[Reddwit]

Couple observations:

1. Hope this hattrick and penalty shot reminds Mantha that he's got an elite scoring ability and gives him confidence.
2. Playing in the US has really diluted his accent.
3. Every time I see Mantha, I'm shocked by how big he is and how fluid his stride is for a huge man. Looks like an agile Ericsson and slightly reminiscent of Blake Wheeler.

This is a great video. I love hearing what Coreau said about how he was slumping and was "going through some personal stuff" that the guys helped him through. Just goes to show you how mental the game is. Never know when a guy is slumping because he's got personal things he's dealing with. Reminds you how human these guys are.

He looks like a man among boys out there

Hope he can get around 50 points till the end of the season, maybe 45.

Hopefully. Needs to be point per game before he can get a call up

 

[Pavels Dog]

Hopefully. Needs to be point per game before he can get a call up

Why? A lot of guys haven't been point-per-game down there before getting a call-up.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

People who actually get called up and play are point per game or close to it. Dmen are .5 or close to it. Or they are out of waiver options

Nosek is the only one I can think of that doesn't have good stats but got called up

 

[ChadS]

Sheahan was only about 0.5 ppg in GR but obviously Mantha is expected to provide more offense than RS. AA is also not close to a point per game, at least over a longer period of time. So it's clearly not all about the points.

Tatar was also never really PPG. Obviously higher production forces a call-up sooner, but I think it mainly comes down to whether there is room on the Wings and the role they are looking to fill.

He was pretty much forced to be called up. Injuries injuries injuries

And Tatar was 10 points away from being ppg So it's around

Different times. Babcock wanted a big body to play against, and Sheahan filled the need.

Well that proves the point, it's not all about production

Early game for the Griffins today.

They have already scored three goals 9 minutes into the first period.

Mantha, Bert and Callahan with the goals.

3 goals in under 70 seconds. All three of these guys are really heating up right now

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Looks like Bert has been turning it up. Scored a beauty a few nights ago.

 

[Reddwit]

Does anyone have the stats on Bertuzzi's first half versus his second half? He's got 20 points in 47 games now and I could've sworn at one point he had something pretty gnarly like 2 points in 19 games.

And Frk continues to produce as well. Scored the 4-0 goal. Russo with two helpers so far.

At first 16 games he had only 0+3=3.
