I have a man crush on Josh manson and I'm not afraid to admit to it.
Its crazy that hes a +14 with all the injuries and whst not... 10 points in 19 games aint too shabby either.Is there anyone out there that still thinks his extension was an overpayment?
I'm pretty comfortable calling him a top pairing guy at this point
Well who thought he would lead all our defenseman in points halfway the season?
in years past Manson never really jumped up into the rush but is doing it a ton and has been very effective at it. he makes good passes and can handle the puck well enough to get points and he doesn't seem to get caught up too much. he is strong enough with the puck that if things don't look good he can dump it without turning it over and leading to a rush the other way.
I had forgotten about that thing. Even I was in a ''wtf'' mode back then because Manson didn`t really seemed like anything back then. But since we all knew our mgmt is good at spotting talanted defensemen, I started to pay attention. They were right.Hard not to see why bob Murray said he was untouchable a couple years back
He's such a beast. He plays the Ducks brand of hockey too which is awesome.Manson is an obscene +18 this year. I know +/- isn't a good stat but the next highest on our team is tied between Getzlaf and Cogs at +9. Lindholm is only a +7. He's also tied with Montour for highest ppg from defensemen on our team, and is our only defenseman to play all 41 games. He's had his ups and downs this season but his ups have been excellent. What a gem.
I can't stop watching his fight with Giordano. One of my favorite Duck moments ever actually.
Again? Ha, he`s an elite player for +/-Somehow he is league leading in the +/- stat. Gibson saved his bad plays a few times I guess.
