Stop making me happy!!
I was also surprised to see that Monahan has only taken 1 minor penalty all season long. In fact he's never had >20 PIM in a season. For a team that really struggles some games to stay out of the box, it's pretty refreshing to know you don't have to worry about him doing something stupid that will put the team on the PK.
I don't think he'll ever really develop that mean streak I'd hoped he had, but that more then fine with type of player he is. The team needed a sniper the day Iggy left and Monahan swooped right in and took over. The fact he plays C makes it even sweeter.
He's on pace for an 86 pts season. While I don't expect him to be PPG to end the season, now it doesn't seem out of reach and the very least I think 70+ is very doable.
