TOI is not indicative of a positive performance. How can you really defend an 0 and 8 start with little to no puck possession and an inability to stay upright?
How is being one of the worst players on the team not being a liability? Sure everyone has their off games and maybe he'll get a hat trick next game, it is what is and doesn't make sense to defend one of Monahan's worst Flames games ever. Has he ever been 25% or less in faceoffs? I'm not piling up or criticizing him but what happened happened and it confuses me why you guys are ignoring the obvious.

You keep going on about him falling on his face and not getting up right away. I don't remember seeing this but maybe he fell on his face and was thinking "Ow my face", rather than it being some big issue like you are suggesting?
Also if he started 0 for 8 he finished 3 for 4, so looks like he bounced back.
And it looks like he has come close to 25% two other times, 29.41% and 27.27%. He also had 12 games where he was in the 30%'s.
