Last night in Los Angeles Monahan banged in a rebound on a powerplay, a flick of the stick that a million beer leaguers could have duplicated. But how he got to that spot on the ice at the right time ready to flick said stick is the story, and it’s one that keeps repeating itself.
His goal in Columbus was similar. His goal in San Jose was similar, his game winner against the Devils was similar. Heck his two third period chances last night that could have been the winner were similar.
REALLY good point. SJ has been so good with team defense - opponents are getting very few chances to even get into scoring areas with the puck. The SJ D made a very momentary error by not keeping an eye on players heading to the net and the kid saw the opportunity, jumped on it and was there when the pass came in. AND he finished. That's a pro.
