Other than going to Washington and breaking Mantha's legs I'm not sure what I can do about something like that.
Not even willing to Tonya Harding someone and you have the nerve to call yourself a fan.

Would you be upset if our would-be-pick (if he does "light it up")would have been a perennial all star blue chip prospect but instead we got the last pick in the first round because of some meaningless sentimental value?
If we’re not supposed to care about what Mantha is doing in Washington why on earth would we care about what a prospect, who was never in Detroit or its system, is doing?
Don't get the Miles Davis reference? He was paranoid?If having anxiety about scenarios that will likely never happen is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
What Mantha does or doesn't do affects our draft position. The pick is conditional to how they finish their season. I want them to have the quickest exit to insure the best possible draft pick for Detroit, you know the team we are all claiming to be our favorite?If we’re not supposed to care about what Mantha is doing in Washington why on earth would we care about what a prospect, who was never in Detroit or its system, is doing?
Honestly I just care about the Caps hopefully doing terribly in the playoffs because it improves the Wings draft pick.

Miles Davis was a musician. The quote comes from here.
How so?I'm not surprised Mantha didn't work out for the Wings. Management kind of shit on him from the moment he was drafted.
I hope he does well in Washington. Yet another player this club couldn't maximize.
How so?
You don't understand how it works.there isn't actually any difference in draft pick between them losing in the first or second round by the way
look at Tampa in 2019 for example, lost in the 1st round and still drafted 27th because they were the highest seed
I had forgotten about that, however I do feel as though we gave him every opportunity to make it here.Back in 2015 Devellano made some comments about how disappointing Mantha was. It really stood out at the time because it was pretty un-Wings like and just out of the blue.
You don't understand how it works.
The deeper a team advances in playoffs the later the pick.
If the teams are tied, which obviously they will be after getting knocked out in round 1 and 2, then the tiebreaker is the points they had in the regular season.

good lord have Caps fans always been this intolerable? Or is just after the Cup win?
I was rooting them on that year but man what it has wrought here on the forums.
99% of them are Ovechkin bandwagon fans who have never played hockey and don't have much hockey knowledge. I respect the ones that have been around since the pre-Jagr era, but I can't stand the newbies. The homerism there runs super strong, because their hockey knowledge is weak at best.good lord have Caps fans always been this intolerable? Or is just after the Cup win?

Isn't he injured?Marazek #7
Mantha took that crosscheck to the face like a champ, that was a bad move by Buch. Lost respect for the man there.

The Cup win just drew more bandwagon fans. They remind me of the old Redskins fans back in the 80's. Though I gotta say, Seattle Seahawk Superbowl bandwagon fans are even worse.
Probably a few years ago yes I'd agree, but they've gone mostly quiet these days.I still think all the Blackhawk fans who suddenly appeared in 2009 are the most intolerable.
I had Mrazek on the IR the whole year. Weird he would be ranked so high.Marazek #7
