Mantha being scratched again in NY tonight?

I'd have guessed that Mantha wasn't buying into Blashill's message but this quote kind of dispels that notion.




It can be difficult to get a read of these situations when you are not in the room but here is the thing: You can't break habits without playing. Moreover, to break a habit you have to be exposed to the same set of circumstances and execute different actions over and over.

Completely agree. Especially when winning games isn't going to help your playoff chances. If anything, I'd have Mantha pulling extra on-ice duty, be it in practice or in-game, with constant feedback and communication.
