rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Anyone know any details? This is the first I've heard about it. Also, prospect Anthony Mantha, who is expected to get a legitimate shot to make the big club’s opening-night roster, suffered a knee injury Monday in the NHL Prospects Tournament at Centre ICE Arena. He did not play in Tuesday’s final prospect game and his availability Friday – when the Wings begin on-ice workouts – is uncertain. http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=730703&navid=DL|DET|home It may just be precautionary, someone on reddit mentioned this: He limped off the ice in the prospect game yesterday, then returned a few minutes later and came back and scored a goal. I'm sure it's all precautionary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 If you read the post directly before mine you would understand that my comment was in no way directed toward you. It was somewhat of a mock toward the previous comment of "Welcome to the Red Wings, where injuries are expected!" and also to the many other people I expected to follow up with panic - "the sky is falling" - replies... Your question was valid and I didn't say anything about that, however, I'm not really sure if it was thread worthy... It could have easily been questioned in the other Mantha thread or the Pre-Season thread. Anyway, relax, it wasn't directed at you... 1 number9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Now if the Wings dressed some enforcers for that game.....That knee injury would've never happened. I think a few Bruins scouts were at that game. They all stared at his knee and BAMB!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Now if the Wings dressed some enforcers for that game.....That knee injury would've never happened. Yeah an enforcer would have pounded that rut right out of the ice and Mantha would be fine. You can always count on an enforcer to make sure the ice is at its highest quality. 3 Nev, number9 and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeytownRules19 902 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Awful luck for the Kid... Take your time in your recovery. I honestly was not expecting him to play with the Wings this year... spend a full year of pro hockey with GR and go from there. Oh by the way, anyone blaming this injury on the red wings staff deserves to be banned lol 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Like HockeyTownRules19 and many others have been saying all along, he wasn't going to make the Wings roster out of camp anyway. I see this as a Grand Rapids injury not a Red Wings injury, so to me it isn't much different than if Pulkkinen was the one who got injured. Anyway, I hope for a speedy recovery so I can watch him develop down in Grand Rapids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
