krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted January 3, 2019 The real HYPE is... Abdelkader at least momentarily, bumped off the top line... Hopefully it sticks. Athanasiou didn't practice today (attended a funeral), but is expected to play tomorrow. Hopefully he squeezes into the top 6 in place of Vanek... I really wish Rasmussen would be given more of an opportunity as well... I'd like to see something like this... Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha Athanasiou - Nielsen - Nyquist Rasmussen - Helm - Vanek Abdelkader - Glendening - de la Rose / Ehn / Frk 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kliq 3,755 Report post Posted January 3, 2019 Glad to see Mantha back! THE most important thing for us right now is that players like Mantha play and get better. Work out the kinks now, so when we are ready to contend they are ready to go at a high level. 2 Rick D and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AtlantaHotWings 987 Report post Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Thought this snippet was funny "It’s just a reflex — you look at your knuckles, look at your hands,” Mantha said. “I saw it swollen. Then when I closed my fist, I saw a little movement that wasn’t normal. I put my hand down so no one sees and I asked Bert if he thought it was normal. “His answer was, I don’t know, I’m not an (expletive) doctor. I just started laughing. From there I knew something was wrong.” from https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2018/12/31/anthony-mantha-injury-detroit-red-wings/2450830002/ I think Lil Bert is the smart arse of our young core...
