NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 My reaction when I saw Sheahan, Miller, Glendening and Callahan in instead of Mantha 4 Hockeytown0001, Y19, MabusIncarnate and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 Mantha, AA, and Larkin are currently the only reason I watch each and every game. I probably won't watch this one now to be honest, which makes me sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BringBack19 110 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 So Blashill is a as long as you try you get a trophy kinda guy. Probably why we're last place in the east... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I'm on Blashill's side for scratching Mantha. He might not be an amazing coach but if he's using this as a teachable moment for Mantha's own good then I get it. Sometimes young players need it. And there is clearly behind the scenes issues. Maybe Mantha is being a dips*** to his coach and needs some disciplining. Maybe not. As for anyone wondering why Sheahan, Miller aren't scratched, who cares about them. They don't mean a thing to this organization. Mantha/Larkin are going to be the face of this organization they're important and so is their development.

I pretty much agree with you on this but Sheahan and Miller are still a part of this team and therefore should be held accountable by their play. It does not look good to punish your good young players for making mistakes and learning when the vets on the team make the same mistakes, even worse mistakes and still get big minutes. 1 Y19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree , but I guess I'm at a point with Sheahan and Miller where I'm hoping neither are part of this team come next year so I'm basically shrugging it off as a fan for now.

How can you sit Mantha for poor play yet DK and Sheahan are in every night 1 NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaliforniaWingsFan 464 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 This should be a close game betwen two highly skilled teams. Haha. At least we get to hear Eddie O on the NHL network. Solid unbiased commentator who is totally not an asshat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,228 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 5 minutes ago, GoalieManPat said: Exactly. How can you sit Mantha for poor play yet DK and Sheahan are in every night I guess the reasoning is that DK and Sheahan are what they are, whereas Mantha has the potential to be an elite NHLer. So, "BE BETTER!" means more to a player like Mantha than it does to a player like Sheahan. I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I don't know if the young guys have attitude problems or not but if I was treated like Mantha or AA being referred to as spare parts or randomly being scratched while being a top player on the team I'd be pretty upset. Especially watching dumps like Miller, Sheahan and the other scrubs receive consistent ice time. 2 krsmith17 and Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
