We can have that in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals where the Caps lift the Cup.... AGAIN!!for a moment I imagined a breaking the 4th wall moment where he faced the camera and said “Backstrom....I mean come on Twabby”.....
Postgame you have mantha just praising how great of a guy Dillon is.
when he got traded from SJ karlsson sajd same thing.
Dillon has had ups and downs for sure - but sometimes great character guys you need in locker room.
kinda reminds me of Orpik. Paying a lot for a guy for mainly his character/locker room... and sometimes that’s okay
Boom! Doubt this!! LOLWhere are all the Mantha doubters right now? Me and a select couple of others were all about this deal yesterday. The rest of y'all were in a poopoo mood until the game! Most on here hadn't even watched him before tonight....
You aren’t alone. Game worn home Black -#70. Oddly enough.Ha! I actually have a Stckle jersey.
Can we all start to see why he’s So Much More then Vrana? And I really liked Vrana.Mantha is going to blossom here. I expect a 60 to 70-plus point player next season.
Nope. He was talking about Larkin. He was trying to say, “Dylan’s a great guy and he’s my buddy but he’s not even close to the type of players I just spent this game in a line with.” Without actually saying that.Postgame you have mantha just praising how great of a guy Dillon is.

You must be taking to @Hivemind? I can see why putting someone on ignore is a challenge. Although he has done it to more posters than anyone. LOLCould have, but then they wouldn't have #39. How long are you going to whine about it especially considering there isn't a thing you can do about it other than whine even more?
Who is arguing? I’m not seeing it? Did my ignore function work too well?6-1 win and the board is in a full on argument over Richard Panik and a 1st round draft pick, gotta love it
Glad you like it!!Mantha on our top 6, Sheary on our bottom 6. We're dangerous again.
I think this is a poor take. You are talking like this team is the Senators or the Red Wings.IMO, mediocre teams pay extra for good character guys. Elite teams pay the right amount for good players, and get "good character" as a bonus.
Orpik actually ended up playing well enough for the Caps to basically justify his salary on that alone.
If you have to justify a guy's spot on the roster by his intangibles, it's almost always a sure sign of poor roster construction.
See above. He wasn't praising Dillon.Manthaaaaaa!
Lets not fight over the trade for every game thread this season, ok? Its too early anyways and lets try to be happy for a minute after beating down two annoying teams 8- and 6-1.
Sure Bruins had AHL-def and Flyers didnt look good today, but the way we rolled over them was promising. Engines working. And the new guy got exactly the debut you would hope for him. Good leg to start building for AM.
And love him praising Dillon just after i argued for him in the other thread against ”dump Dillon”ers
Hockey is fun again. Hope Vrana also scores in his Det debut.
See above. He wasn't praising Dillon.
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t protect Schultz and VVI'm discussing a hockey move on a hockey board. Is that not the very purpose of this board?
After seeing this guy be the best player on the ice in his 1 game in what reality could the 1st have improved their cup chances more than bringing in this rig?That 1st could do a lot more for them towards that goal of winning the Cup that paying off a bad contract that GMBM himself signed.
Mantha is looking good! Guess I’m on the caps bandwagon now. We always thought the had all the tools to be a star, it just wasn’t happening and the losing was getting to him. Hope he can put it together in Washington.
I think it's okay to say "All Detroit fans are welcome!" As long as you hate the Pens, Isles and Rangers. Oh, and the Bruins.
But mostly just the Pens
Let's wait more. Shall we? I'm still skeptical. That was a report on him: that he can be absolutely a top player in this league if he was motivated more. If he was what you described, no way Detroit would trade him.Boom! Doubt this!! LOL
He’s a f***ing freight train..... but w skills. Tom Wilson but with a different way of going about the game.
See above. He wasn't praising Dillon.
Makes sense.Im going to ignore anything that doesnt back up my defence for Dillon. So Ill just go on thinking Mantha has praised Dillon and ignore the facts and your post. Sorry.
