The 91 of Ryans 3,012 Report post Posted December 4, 2018 I'm going to post this in two threads: This kind of s*** would never have happened with Babcock as coach. People complained about the Wings not sticking up for teammates and/or being too soft? Well this is what you get folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted December 4, 2018 F***ing brutal. I'll admit, I was happy to see Mantha stick up for Larkin, but immediately after the fight, I was concerned he might have hurt his hand again... and here we are... He really needs to stop fighting, if this is the outcome every time... F***! 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a more serious note - yeah it sucks 1 of our promising guys will be out...Apparently will require surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erik Karlsson is a -11. Evgeni Malkin is a -8. Taylor Hall is a -9. Mantha has struggled this season, there's no denying that. But he's been starting to heat up, and if you don't think he's a huge part of this team, you're kidding yourself. Especially if you're basing that on such a useless stat as +/-... 2 amato and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted December 4, 2018 Who I expected. I was actually surprised we sent him down and called Ehn up, thought he was better than Ehn during his brief stint and he's been good in GR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many visors did Shanahan have to punch? Also, while we're on the topic, f*** Shanahan. He was never a real Wing. He just passed through here and rode Yzerman, Lidstrom, and Fedorov's coat tails to Stanley Cups. Plus anyone who leaves and organization because he can't cut it playing for a certain coach then turns around and poaches said coach from the same organization is a bitchy little hypocrite.

"To me, it just seems logical that Mantha is, and should be, the odd man out down the road." In no world should Mantha be the "odd man out" on this team. We're not in a situation where we need to trade a part of our young core. So you don't do it, unless a deal comes along that you just can't refuse. I'm not completely opposed to trading Mantha, but if we are it would have to be for a young stud defenseman. Certainly none of the mediocre defensemen he mentions... 1 roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
