Just look at the centers that have drive their teams to a cup: Kopitar, Bergeron, Toews, Crosby, Staal.
It's a criticism you could apply to many teams but still doesn't take that nagging feeling away.

Monahan and Backlund are a tandem. When Backlund has to kill 4 penalties and sit for 1 in two periods it places all the 1C responsibility on Monahan.
Sure, Sean didn't have the best game. Still, the root of the problem is Undiciplined play.
