I can't say I really care what the perception of Monahan around the league is. The man is a stud. He has ice running through his veins, and it clutch when it is crunch time. Of his 31 goals, 11 were game winners. Last year he was 3rd in the NHL for GWG.
Monahan is not a flashy player. A lot of good players try to win battles with complex plays, some players can be much more effective in more simple ways. Monahan takes care of business and makes it look boring.
