Monahan criticisms are overblown. I think that people sometimes have short memories. Remember near the end of last season when there were some criticisms, and even Eric Francis wrote that silly article questioning Monahan's will to compete? Yeah, Monahan just came back from an injury. Knowing his history, he probably injured himself last month and has been playing through it, and the games he missed were due to the Flames' training staff sneaking some sedatives into his pre-game meal in order to force him to sit.
Mangiapane is really quickly becoming a force out there. When I heard that Peters really likes Mangiapane's game, and decided to keep him up and give him all this playing time since the start of the season, I was a bit confused. Peters does really know best after all.
