This thread is mind numbing. Some posters have no way to express themselves but through definitive speculation.
Facts:
1. Monahan is 20 years old.
2. Monahan played in his first NHL playoff game.
3. Monahan played against the other team's top lines for the majority of the game, and held them off the score sheet.
4. Monahan did not have a good night in the faceoff dot. See #1&2 above.
5. In the third period, he became noticeably more comfortable and started to tilt the ice in Calgary's favor.
All the speculation of a shoulder injury or flu is just that. Speculation. Until someone comes out and says differently, I am assuming Monahan is going to continue his strong third period play next game.
Threads like these are painful to read. Back away from the cliff folks....
