Putting Monahan's poor point production aside, I just don't like the way he competes. It could be his back is still bothering him but the lack of awareness when he was stripped of the puck coming out of his zone was a back breaker for the game. It's way to early to panic about his future but he needs to wake up or get his ice time limited until he gets it together.
This is the play I'm talking about courtesy of bingo's take.

Hockey is a game of little battles, he lost one there and it snowballed. …
