Do people still not get what the Oilers are doing wrong? I love Monahan, but he should NOT be playing all those minutes against top-line opposition every single night. We need another center that can do that. Is it any surprise that Monahan has played so much better since Backlund came back?

Sure, but is Richards the guy? Based on his play lately (from the little I've seen and what I've heard) he couldn't hack it.
