Moe here,

Just getting up to watch soccer. Didn't realize you guys like me more on overtime than on this forum. I'm always posting about how Monahan is not a number one center.

He isn't engaged enough, he isn't a great skater, he doesn't set people up often, he simply drives he net well and has a wicked wrist shot. he isn't physical, has no real compete level or fire. Go watch his rookie season highlights by the wonderful AC. It goes.. tap in, tap in, rebound, wicked wrister from in close, tap in, nice feeds and easy finishes repeat and repeat That being said I'd love him as a 2nd line center in the future. I just don't think he is a 1c on a contender. Not dynamic enough imo. Gaudreau needs a dynamic speedy dangerous forward to open up more ice for him so he can terrorize the league even worse. Hopefully Bennett can become that guy.

I think Bennett will be our number one center and am wary of the flames handing out a big 7x7 contract to Mony based on his rookie campaign and his performance last season.

However..I didn't call in to troll pat. I love pat. I called in because I was listening to the show and a caller mentioned he thought Monahan wasn't going to be a top line center because he doesn't create enough and that Bennett would overtake him. Pat basically told the caller he didn't know what he was talking about and Monahan is projecting to be a leading center in the league.

I didn't quite realize how worked up he would get if I suggested that Monahans goals don't mean he is nessicarily going to be a number one center in this league. I wanted to make my points and let him speak but he kept cutting me off and I didn't like how he was speaking to the previous callers right before me so I decided to speak a bit louder and cut him off so I could say what I called in to say without him rambling off about Monahans 30 goals in an anomalous season playing in between Hudler and Gaudreau. Basically playing with our version of the sedins and in front of gio and Brodie.

Maybe those numbers are inflated. I simply wanted to challenge pat to watch Monahans highlights and tell me if any other elite number one centers score 99percent of their goals in the blue paint or off a wicked pass or a nice uncontested in close wrist shot. He didn't let me get that far so I cut him off a few times.

Anyway I like pat but I just wish he was more open to other opinions and views and entertained thoughts he didn't nessicarily agree with. Had a bit of humility. He seems like a teacher marking people's flames opinions sometimes. "I agree! You are correct or I disagree you are incorrect" it's kind of lame.
