The day Mangiapane gets the recognition he deserves for his incredible impact will be a great day. |
I'm happy to be proven wrong. I like Mangiapane a lot - I just have never thought of defence as a strength area.
That said, analytically - why is he ranked like that? If it's overall shot suppression, maybe that has something to do with offensive play/forechecking?
