Mantha is my boy.

I think I'm in love.

XO solid in that board battle behind his net.

 

[theYman]

Jurco has looked good. Had some chances. Skating well looks fast. The weight loss is noticeable.

 

[odin1981]

Jurco has played a good game so far. Hope his back holds up this season.

If a coaching change and some weight loss is what it took to get Jurco back to showing some promise I would be sooo happy.

Noticed that too. Good physical shift.

 

[Frk It]

Nyquist is making some nice passes tonight.

 

[Frk It]

Dekeyser is wearing his helmet like Radulov lol

Now put Jurco in Tatars spot for the third and let's see what he can do. It has to be better than Tatar losing the puck every time he touches it,thinking he's Patty Kane... so done with Tatar

Agreed, he looks good so far. The type of player I'd like on our 4th line.

 

[Leronziia]

Mantha is just dominant in terms of puck possession. When the puck is on his stick, we rarely lose or waste possession.

Trying not to get too excited.... but I'm excited.

Safe to say Tatar isn't gonna be more than 3rd liner. Has no finish and turns puckover too much in the o zone.

No one can pass the puck to enemy like tatar, adrenalin 100%

He has produced better than a 3rd liner in each of his last 2 seasons.

I don't think people realize how little 3rd liners actually produce on average. It's like 20-30 pts.

Love Davey S. Takes me back to my childhood days watching the Wings lose on tv 50.

 

[Ezekial]

I just put my Tatar jersey on for the third. I have faith in you still Tats.

Well a 3rd liner playing on the 3rd line is going to score less than a 3rd liner playing on the top line and getting #1 pp time

 

[chances14]

haha yea UPN 50. those were the days

always having to rotate the roof antenna to get good enough reception just to see the puck

 

[Huddy*]

Handclap .... or being subbed in on the PP in OT last game for mantha and doing _____ with his opportunity. He needs to simplify his game more but I don't think he knows how. Looking at your blash...

 

[dudyst]

Tatar will have 23 G at the end

 

[DanZ]

Well a 3rd liner playing on the 3rd line is going to score less than a 3rd liner playing on the top line and getting #1 pp time

3rd liners don't score 25+ goals and 50+ points. It isn't simply a matter of getting more ice time.

He actually plays more like 3rd line minutes and always has.

 

[Huddy*]

Not sure Tatar will even come close to those numbers this year the way he's handling the puck, but I hope you're right, just don't see it

Sproul played Ritchie well along the boards there.
