Some real gems in there. Also, this is the guy that tweeted that making Giordano captain of the team was "poor asset management". |
Boooooooooo.
Puts stock into +/- ? That's just laughable. Probably 4-5 of those 6 goals were scored on critical turnovers by players that happened to be sharing the ice momentarily, but on plays he didn't directly create or influence by his own errors. Also he's even now, so that says enough in itself if you truly put any credibility into it (which you shouldn't).
Clutch points and scoring are continuously coming to him for a reason. It may not be sustainable to that level but he's influencing the game due to IQ, skill and chemistry with linemates. And as long as he's bringing that ability to influence the game at this level, that's a huge asset for us.
Does this dude write for the Oilers? (Unofficially, of course, as his writing is amateur at best). Would make a lot of sense. Fact is, Sean's had a big hand in helping to make this team successful, and he's doing that by his ability to know where to be on the ice to make those big plays and having that finishing ability. You can't teach those kinds of smarts. This sounds like a jealous ##### to me, who just wants to see the Flames flop like they were "supposed" to. What an idiot. He obviously doesn't know that the tanking purposely was never in the Flames' mantra for the rebuild. Instilling a winning culture and mentality is far more meaningful.
Sure, Monahan can improve on his play in the defensive end. He's getting better. But what he's doing at the other end more than makes up for any little blemishes there. Only dudes who aren't getting those kind of results from their favorite team would be getting steamed enough to try and dissect his play enough to pinpoint negatives. Not to mention all the oh-so-subtle jabs at the team sprinkled the whole way through. What a #####.
