Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 Mantha is now tied for the team lead in goals and plus/minus, fourth in points, second in points per game, and first in goals per game. The first three of those stats are especially impressive considering he's only played half the season (but then made slightly less impressive when part of his team lead also has to do with other players performing way below expectation) 3 derblaueClaus, PavelValerievichDatsyuk and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been able to watch as much this year, and just going by this forum I wouldn't have guessed he was anywhere near the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't have anyone on his line who's scoring, so not very many assists, hence the low point total but not low goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BringBack19 110 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 Larkin has hit a wall, and I think a lot has to do with learning the center position at the NHL level. With, hopefully, new coaching and development he will become the first line center most people think he can be. I am not as concerned about Mantha hitting a sophomore slump as much, because he has been through a lot of adversity already. As early as next year we may see a Mantha-Larkin-Z top line.

The league has seen him, scouted him, knows his strengths and weaknesses, and game plans for him. Now he has to mkae the adjustments. Up until the last 2-3 games he hasn't been playing C at all. he has been on the wing. The last part about Larkin is/was how good can he become offensively? That was the question when he was drafted. Everyone knew he had speed and played a 200ft game. Can he become more than a 25g 50 point guy? He had 25 goals last year and is on pace for 22 this year. Can he take the next step and get to 30 goals and 75+ points? This is his second pro season so no need to panic by anyone. Mantha is a year ahead physically and mentally in his 3rd pro year. Both should be very good to great for a long time. 2 krsmith17 and PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add the pathetic PP system and the overall terrib;e coaching, and anyone woulds struggle 2 krsmith17 and kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big-bodied goal-scorer was what I was going for. He has that in common with Perry, minus the on-ice antics obviously. Although he did drop Sergachev like a G. Couldn't think of a better comparison for a big C/RW combo other than Perry and Getzlaf 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither Svechnikov is / will be a center. Not a single one of them are / will be 1st liners?... That is a potent top 6, not middle 6. Mantha is a f***ing beast. I remember praying he'd drop to us. He did, then we traded the pick. Then he dropped to us again. It all worked out in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
