Okay. I think Monahan scores the vast majority of his goals within 5 feet of the crease. I think he battles for position.
It just seems to me that a lot of people here using confusing better hockey players for grittier hockey players. These are simply characteristics and aspects of the game that all players would like to improve. I don't think it has anything to do with style of play.
