I love Monahan, I'll often bring up Darryl Sutter's comments on him in support of his effectiveness outside of pure offense.

However, I don't think he was at all comparable to Kopitar was when they won the Cups in that 200 foot game area.

I also think it's a bit unfair to call Kopitar a 70 point player. He was the catalyst for the Kings. He was the offense.

70 points when Carter is scoring 50 and Williams is scoring 43 to round out the top 3.

That's Prime Iginlaesque numbers. When he was putting up 70 points, Conroy was putting up 50 and Donavan was putting up 45. Iginla was more than a "70 point player" then too.
