Caps Anthony Mantha Dirty Hit on Jordan Martinook

So, here's the play and slo-mo replay of Anthony Mantha, member of the Washington Caps goon squad slew-footing Martinook, hitting him twice in the face while he was down and then landing a cross check to the head when he was trying to get up.

NHL refs for the stadium game missed what should have been a 4 minute penalty and will likely not even levy any fines. Only goes to add to the Caps reputation as a bunch of cheap shot players on a mediocre hockey team. The new Caps motto: "Can't play with the big boys? Just play dirty and don't worry about the losing."

What's just as bad is how the fight goes immediately after. Mantha doesn't indicate he wants a fight. He was being dirty and getting told off about it and basically sucker punches Marty. Like it's the most bullshit, bully thing I've seen in a while. The fact that nobody went after him after the box speaks to Rod's leadership and keeping guys calm because I'd have ran him the rest of the game. Every opportunity, running him as hard as possible.

    • So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?
    • I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.
    • It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.
