GDT: Rangers @ Wings | Looks like Mantha is out again

[Bondurant]

Blahill said on Friday that it was "partly between me and him". So yeah probably a personal disagreement or some backtalk from Mantha. The whole thing is pretty stupid but not a major conspiracy or anything.

Blashill is putting his own ego ahead of the team? Sounds like a recipe for coaching success.

Blabhill will soon have to buy a ticket to see Mantha play.

Blashill is a puppet of Holland. He wouldn't be making these decisions without Holland's direction.

Feel bad for players getting drafted by DRW right now and having their careers ruined from the get-go.

based on what exactly?

Holland has always been pretty hands off with coaches in the past and in the rare cases he hasn't been it's generally been made pretty clear(such as that time he forced Babcock to play Nyquist)

 

[Syckle78]

Absolutely nobody has had their career ruined here. Some of you are goinh to extremes now. Most of the guys just haven't been good as we hoped they would but nobody has had their career detailed by how they were handled.

I don't think this is anywhere near being an accurate statement, especially regarding a minor and singular lineup decision happening at the tail end of a failed campaign.

You see the Blackhawks, Penguins. Rangers. Caps, Bluejackets doing **** like this ?
No way. What an embarrassment.

Not sure what you're referring to. I was replying to a claim that the GM was making day to day lineup decisions.

If you don't think Q and Torts are willing to bench young players due to their effort MOD

 

[Probie]

I'm not really sticking up for Blashill but Mantha has been lazy defensively. If he's going to play a big role on this team, he needs to play both ends of the ice.

These are not good signs for someone who is an up and coming player, I can see this from an established vet from time to time even though that in itself is not good. Maybe blashill has this right.

I'm having a hard time being outraged about the Mantha thing but I feel like I need to be outraged by something... any suggestions? Abby's ice time? Mrazek starting? Sheahan in general?

Abdelkader's contract is my standby. And it's a tremendous value in terms of outrage. Six more years of outrage on that one. Why settle for anything less?

 

[wings95]

Good pace. Need more O zobe time

 

[SoupGuru]

We actually aren't looking too bad out there

 

[wings95]

Nice AA. Larkin you need to do the same thing. Score on the PP please.

 

[SoupGuru]

Great, this PP will kill our momentum

 

[wings95]

Gus shoot the puck. Nice D to give up the shortie

 

[Martinez]

Well... at least we are skating well.

 

[SoupGuru]

Great, this PP will kill our momentum

Yay me

Has anyone been on ice for more shorties in the league than Green?

 

[TheMule93]

Lel.

 

[Shaman464]

AA with a stupid pass.

 

[NervousPerson]

Great job out there guys.

Way to tie up your man Green.

 

[wings95]

Yay me

He was covering his man what was Tatr doing?

 

[datsyukfan]

Shorty shocker

 

[Wood Stick]

Tatar's backcheck was A+ there..
