Calling him a defensive pylon is disingenuous and downright incorrect.
Monahan's lines underlying stats took a horrendous dip the game after Baertschi was press boxed and sent down.
And it's not a coincidence.

Take back the pylon part....but no neither of those guys were "worse" than Sven, totally different scenarios with AHL eligibility and waivers so even if they were worse they couldn't go down as easily.
I really, really like Sven but if you think he was good defensively I don't know what to say. I watched him live many times and he absolutely needed to go down and learn the defensive game.....not even worth arguing over.
