Unlucky incident, hope he recovers quickly, but was there ever any doubt he'd end up injured at some point?
Ya hopefully this means mantha stays up
Sorry to be nitpicky, but dislocated and separated are similar but different things, right?
is this really going to have a negative effect on the team
be honest
i dont wish a player gets hurt but for a player who has done absolutely nothing so far this year, so long as he still gets paid(and therefore no neg to the player himself) who really cares so long as it gives a guy like mantha a longer opportunity or a player like AA more important minutes
Only players who now will get more Ice-Time are Sheahan and Glendening.
That makes us worse.
why?
This is really going to hurt. Wings lost one of their best forwards.
If he is actually considered one of "our best forwards" that is in and of itself a sad indictment of the roster.
4th best point scorer
4th most hits (behind Ott, Abby and Glendenning)
1st plus/minus
Tied 2nd in goals
One of the better faceoff guys with 56%
People are so consumed with hate because of his contract, but lets not act like Helm hasn't been an important key player on the team. Helm has stepped up his game and can't/won't/refuse to accept he stepped up his game.
If Tatar had half the heart as Darren Helm, the Wings would be a much better team. But he doesn't. Mantha has been unimpressive other than a nice pass to Z, but otherwise flat. Nyquist is streaky and often looks disconnected. Zetterberg is out of his prime. Larkin looks human 'off'. Helm has been one of DRWs most consistent and better forwards. Even when he's not potting goals, he's out there playing 100% each and every shift. Too bad other players don't take notice and up their compete level.... (looking at you Mantha and Dylan Larkin and Tatar)
