Calgary’s little big men doing a lot of the ‘heavy lifting’ Globe_Sports
It took Ryan until he was 29 to get an NHL contract, and he’s no longer dwelling on the past.
Flames head coach Bill Peters shrugs off size as an impediment. He points out that Andrew Mangiapane, who scored the winning goal in Game 1, has found a way to find a place on the team.The 5-foot-10 Mangiapane was selected in the sixth round of the NHL draft in 2015 “The game’s changed over the years right? I’d rather have a 5-foot-11 guy that’s competitive in the trenches every night than a 6-foot-4 guy who’s on the perimeter,” he said.
“Hath [Hathaway], Doc [Ryan] and Mange [Mangiapane] were able to draw that penalty and almost scored on that day,” Tkachuk said. “I thought they were all over it, especially in that second period.”
