Injuries happen. Can never have enough dmen.
The goal was cool but someone needs to clip the sauce he feathered up ice to Kakko who then hit Chytil in stride for a partial breakaway in the 1st.
Lindgren could never.

Victor Mancini was drafted in the 5th round, 159th overall.
The lowest drafted player to have played more NHL games than him, is Lane Hutson who was picked in the 2nd round, 62nd overall.

Mistakes will be made for sure but it is a learning curve and he looks like he has some great tools and a toolbox . I like seeing his creativity in the opposition end .....gotta like that from a big kid !
Hutson also looks very good .

Honestly, our 2020 draft class may never be topped, but 2022 has a lot of potential especially considering we didn't have a 1st.
Ending up with Sýkora, McConnell-Barker, Laba and Mancini could be low-key a really good draft class.

interesting stat on Mancini - at 5 on 5, 90% of his shot attempts are SOG. He has been dart like accurate at hitting the net which is a big upgrade on this defense.

He moves laterally and just snaps the puck on net. It may seem easy, but his lateral mobility really helps him here. Honestly, Miller should be similar if he was more accurate with this shot

Man, I looked this up because it sounds crazy for a rookie having just played 4 career games. Interesting to keep an eye on!

His skating is so amazing to me. Big body, yet fast and nimble. Very impressive.

Perfect example of how development is non-linear. I haven’t seen such exponential development in a player in a long time

It's nice to be on the receiving end of one of these once, as a Rangers fan.

Kid has a knack for getting his shots through.Rest of the dmen should take notice. Eta:just saw AK's post above,9 shots on goal out of 10... beautiful to see

I can’t believe he goes by “Victor” instead of “Vito” .
Well I’m not calling him that.

Part of that is not taking big windups. Another part is intuiting when an opening comes and not hesitating.
So much Trouba shade in this post

Maybe the single most aspect - which was unheard of except for Fox - is ACCURACY.

When Trouba shoots, it's out of desperation. When he has no other ideas left.
When good defensemen shoot, it's because they see a lane, an opportunity.

Lindgren back but Mancini will stick around a 'lil longer yet
Trouba’s shot actually gets through a surprising amount of times. He just also winds up like crazy so gets blocked way too often.
It'ts not that he has no ideas left, it's his only idea!
