I think I'd like to see Monahan work on a quick release mid-stride on the rush. He tends to stop moving his feet and stickhandle quickly ,which has been successful in the past, getting some goalies to bite, but I think a mid-stride shot would catch some goalies off guard. Also, once your feet stop moving, it can sometimes give the opposing player a chance to catch back up (we saw it this game where a Hawk was able to get back and take the puck away) and inhibit the scoring chance. It's really great to see him creating so many odd-man opportunities, though!
