It's too bad the leafs don't need forwards. Babs would love to have him im sureSooooo Howard has more points then sheahan. And I think nyquist as well
God blash completely destroyed sheahan
that is karlsson territory
It annoys me that Mantha is utilized in the net front role during the PP. His shot and vision are so good, seems like a waste. Then again he is 6"5. Meh.
Mantha looks downright lost to me at times and it makes me wonder if he could just be dumb. We might have to entertain that possibility. He's got a nose for the net and has mad skill but he looks like he doesn't know where to be through the first 175 feet of the ice. He might just need a while to internalize the defensive and neutral zone tendencies of a regular NHL player.
I think it would really help if Z were his center. Not because Z is the man but because Z is the only solid playmaking center we have. Larkin is more of a north/south center who is focusing on fleshing out his own game and Nielsen is basically a cog in a machine whose functionality is dependent on the skill and IQ of his wingers. Maybe Nielsen could work with Mantha down the road but right now I think the best for our buck would be to stick Mantha with Z.
I kinda agree but Mantha is only what 40 games into an NHL career and already leading this team? Usually guys in his role get to sit back seat, which he doesn't get the luxury of doing. He is merely out of rookie stage. And I trust him a lot more to create offense the 90% of our team
Sorry probably closer to 60, but either way less then a season at 82... What's scary is tatar and goose still looking lost at 4 years.

Check out the menu on the Red Wings plane tonight:
This is awesome! I'd love to know how you got a shot of this. In-N-Out burgers?!? We can trade anyone who doesn't order one of those. (As long as they aren't from the Vegas area InNOuts. Those are meh.)
Probably wouldn't be wise for me to say. I posted it because its kind of proof i actually have a contact and not making stuff up... but i dont want to say who my contact is (he/she) probably wouldn't appreciate that. But lets just say this contact is in a position to have conversations with Ken Holland directly. So I think it is really cool to ask this person things. And relay some of he/she says to you fine hardcore wings fans
Right, but pm me all the juicy stuffThen by all means, keep your mouth shut! We don't need to know everything. Little tidbits here and there are more than welcome. Thanks for the info!
Amazing that our goalie is out scoring or tied with Daley, goose, tatar, Sheahan, Daley? Who am I missing... 3rd period power play... Tatar goose and Daley eat up 3/4 the time yet green, frk, Larkin and Mantha on the bench... Sad bench management
I'm not liking the FML line. So far it seems like they chase the puck more than having actual sustain pressure in the offensive zone.
How the actual f*ck does Mantha only get 13 min?!
