Don't get men wrong—I am not down on Mangiapane. Quite to the contrary, I think he could become one of the most important players in the organization in the future. But I also don't think he needs to be insulated from criticism. This is his second playoffs, and he has already demonstrated just how impactful a player he can be. My point is that he is already there, and he needs to more consistently play the way he is presently capable of playing.
I'm looking for a big game from him today.

Downgrading linemates from Tkachuk to Reider makes a difference. But yeah, would love to see him make more of a difference.
