Center is such a hard position to play. I'm not saying the wing is easy, but I get a bit annoyed at the lack of praise and excess criticism Monahan has been getting this year. Last year he got heaps of praise, and rightly so. This year, with the entire team playing badly, he was still trying to play hockey the right way. Granted, he made many mistakes and was in a "slump" but even during the dark days of October, he wasn't that far off his scoring pace from last season. Johnny is getting heaps of praise again, and rightly so. I wouldn't be shocked if they end up with the same contracts. Johnny's edge in points is made up by Mony's more difficult position.
But Johnny wouldn't have got very far without Mony.
