Is it really that big a drop off from shoulderless Mangiapane to a call-up?

Coach: How's it going today? You got hurt last game, how does it feel?
Player: I'm fine, coach! Good as new!
Players don't want to lose their spot or don't want to let their team down by not being there. Being there and battling through things shows how dedicated they are and they value that in themselves immensely. I really don't know if this is an all sports type thing (probably) but it is definitely a hockey player attitude.
