Recalled/Assigned: Anthony Mantha recalled

[Yemack]

Habs are quite a feisty bunch at their home. Hope he is ready to win some battles tomorrow.

 

[Goalie guy]

5 min **** 4th line and does nothing. I hope I'm wrong I just don't trust Blash any more.

They've been saying since forever they're not calling him up to play on the 4th line. AA was on the 3rd line. I don't see any reason to think Months won't be at least top9. I think maybe even he'll replace Bert in the top6 and Bert will drop down to the third.

Mantha only scores goals against Montreal. I predict a Detroit win.

 

[theYman]

Nice to see him,playing finally but not under these circumstances. I hope AA recovers quickly. As for Montreal be interesting to see what he can do against them. I hope he can get one on Price.

I predict a win as well. Eventually Montreal has to lose with price In net (he's playing right?)

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Glad to finally see him up. Hope his good fortune against Montreal continues. Working his way towards being a Hab killer if he scores again tonight.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Hopefully Mantha takes advantage of these next 5 games or so, And continues to improve and prove that he belongs with the big club.

 

[grewalwings]

If they called him up just to increase trade value I will lose it .

Same here, He's exactly what we need with a big club. Too many small bodies not enough big bodies.

 

[Dotter]

I think Mantha is going to be a good player, but extremely overrated. I doubt he reaches Franzen's level, but will be just as frustrating... and probably more often. I don't think he's the saviour.

But then again, what do I know.

 

[Larkin2AA]

Looks like Mantha will be on a line with Nielson and Tatar

Why don't you trust Blash with giving Mantha minutes? All Blash has shown me this season in his usage of AA is that if you're play poorly you will not see the ice as much (first few games), but if you're playing well you'll see 13-15 minutes a game. Lil Bert is a perfect player to add to Ott and Glenny in this situation. He's starting the kid on the second line and powerplay unit.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

But then again, what do I know.

Franzen's level was pretty high before the injuries ravaged him. Franzen was a very dominating offensive player for a stretch after his break out and before the injuries kicked in.

One of our biggest problems the last two years and change is we have really missed Franzen.

He might be the target for things I agree, but Franzen was an unfair target almost all the time, I hope Mantha is similar to him in that regard if he does become a target of criticism.

 

[mindfly]

Did he play against montreal in montreal before or was it at the Joe?

 

[Heaton]

Did he play against montreal in montreal before or was it at the Joe?

Was both at home and at Montreal, but neither time did he play vs. Carey Price.

 

[Ezekial]

Did he play against montreal in montreal before or was it at the Joe?

Both. Last year he played Montreal 2 times and scored in each game.

 

[ap3x]

Score one for us, Tony. Or two. Well, don't mind the numbers game. Just score, okay?
