Hockey Thoughts On Mantha And The Wings

via Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet,

Two very impressive wins for Detroit, ruining Nashville’s home opener and dropping Dallas to 0-3 in the Red Wings’ own. The word on Anthony Mantha was that there would be 15 or so games where he’d be “quiet.” You just wouldn’t notice him as much as you should. If he could change that, we’d see a dangerous, potentially dominant scorer. We’ve certainly noticed him so far. Four goals against the Stars, five overall.

He told Mickey Redmond in the post-game interview that the last of his four versus the Stars (1:02 mark of the video above) is a designed face-off play where Tyler Bertuzzi is supposed to make room for him.
