It's Anthony Mantha's World And We Are Just Living In It

After the landslide of injuries that occurred in November, the Detroit Red Wings finally decided to call-up heralded forward Anthony Mantha. Despite all of his success in juniors, Mantha has been called "very, very, very disappointing" by Red Wings' Senior Vice President and Alternate Governor Jim Devellano. In April of this year, he was called a "spare part" by Red Wings general manager Ken Holland. Needless to say, management had low expectations for Mantha heading into this call-up. Since being called up, Mantha has been Detroit's best forward and appears to be blossoming into the two-way power forward the Wings have so desperately craved.
