^The analytics guys, writers from FlamesNation and such have been criticizing Monahan's game for a while. According to the fancy stats he is getting absolutely killed in terms of possession even when heavily sheltered and given favorable zone starts.

With some players the corsi doesn't match the eye test but in his case I think it does. You only notice him when he's sniping goals.
