Can anyone think of one instance of Monahan's line being "hemmed in their own zone"? Of course he's getting easy assignments, that's what you do with an 18 year old that's physically ready for the NHL but that you're developing.
Just a bizarre article that reads more like "Look at me, I'm saying something different!" then anything else.

That's how I felt about it too. He brought up several points that I had thought about regarding the decision, but did it in such an outlandish/biased way that it gives the entire article that "basement blogger" feel.
