The problem is that the second half is where the Monahudreau line really took off last year. Doesn't look like that has a chance of happening this year so it'll be really surprising if he come close to his end of season totals from last year.

I don't really blame Monahan for that though. It's all on Hudler. Monahan was never an offensive catalyst and I don't think he ever will be, so when he and Johnny are saddled with a 3rd liner on their line, I'm not surprised that Monahan is having a hard time keeping up his late season form from last year.

Can you imagine if you told people after the playoffs last season that half way through this season, Gaudreau and Monahan would be playing with Michael "on pace for 4 goals" Ferland and we would happy about it cause he's such an improvement on Jiri Hudler?
