Ekmanc 586 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 He was picked #14. Why would you be annoyed at the Wings not drafting a player who had already been drafted? Obviously the hope was that he wouldn't be drafted that early, I was hoping no other team would pick him up and we did get fairly close. I feel for him too having to play for Columbus now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 Sutter is a terrible junior coach. Benched Mcdavid after he took 2 penalties. I mean...he's a 16 year old! He's supposed to make mistakes! He's also extremely talented and will probably want to make up for those mistakes. Benching him accomplishes nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 Watched the replay this morning and Paterson let in some terrible goals yesterday, you could tell at some points it was crushing Canada's morale. I highly doubt he starts the next game especially after Suter comments. Also, Mantha didn't have a good game besides putting up 2 assists, he looked slow and took a bad penalty.

PumpkinEscobar 136 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 I'm still a little annoyed that we didn't get Alexander Wennberg in the last draft, the kid is absolutely amazing.still would rather have Mantha Obviously the hope was that he wouldn't be drafted that early, I was hoping no other team would pick him up and we did get fairly close. I feel for him too having to play for Columbus now by the time he gets to Columbus they'll be pretty good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 That and Canada is still struggling. They can't get anything going offensively. The shot total is there just no real finish work. Also Canada needs to stay out of the box. Penalties are killing them... I'll say this about Mantha. His skating is questionable but he knows how to bury the puck.

joshy207 156 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 Could be a huge swing here, Mantha goal and a PP right after. Mantha definitely knows how to find the back of the net. You can't teach that. As we've seen SO many times with the Wings, it's quality of shots, not quantity, that really matters... 1 Cloune reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't caught the games either. Just going on comments from this forum. But I don't think I'll take a canucks radio station too serious, mantha obviously has a nose for the net he scores more than a goal per game in the q, has more than a goal per game in this tournament, drouin might be helping him out, but he is also getting assists and scoring, as evidenced by Abby you can't just magically become a point machine because you have a top notch center or winger feeding you pucks. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essentially traded Corey Schnieder for himI was only able to watch Canada's opening game where Mantha netted the hat trick and TSN and Ferraro were praising him all game.

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 Canuck fan saying Drouin is making Mantha look a lot better than he is playing. Haven't seen any play, so, any comments on that? Considering Mantha put one on a platter for Drouin I would say its a two way street. Drouin had a secondary assist on Mantha's goal and Mantha was battling in front of the net so you can't say Drouin gifted him that. Mantha will pot the chances he gets - thats all him. He has great instincts around the net and seems to be in the right place. You can't teach that. Its not like Mantha is getting buckets of chances from Drouin and converting a few and his stats look good - he has been very efficient with his scoring opportunities. 1 Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Secret 304 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 Canuck fan saying Drouin is making Mantha look a lot better than he is playing. Haven't seen any play, so, any comments on that? Saw the 2nd and 3rd periods of the game today against the Slovaks... Drouin did look great but Mantha looked great on his own! Nice come back win for Canada too... GO CANADA! Also, I hope we dont have to wait for Mantha to be 27 before he gets his shot at scoring goals for us... I would rather see him learn the ropes from Pav and Z before they retire! God forbid Mule is his only mentor.....yikes! "Look kid, you could work hard to contribute all the time but why?

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 Pavel setting up Mantha would be sick. I think if the kid keeps playing lights out offensively, and he keeps working on his complete game he won't be waiting too long to make his Wings debut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
