I get the frustration with Mony’s recent production but you can’t really say he doesn’t show up in big or tight checking games.

Pretty sure all those goals were on the PP, which might be fine if the PP was humming along. But even the PP right now is struggling a bit in the last month. They’ve dropped about 2 whole percentage points and have fallen out of the top 10 from 7th to about 12th place.
To me, the concerns that I have now actually extended to the first half of the season. Even when the top line was flying high, you could see in certain tight checking games, the top line was easily shut down.
The silver lining is that the team today isn’t getting shut out like they were at the beginning of the season. The 3M line and now the Ryan line seem to elevate their game in tight checking matchups which is very encouraging to see. So we’ll see how it all plays out in the playoffs, but it might be the most concerning aspect right now for this team as the erratic goaltending seems to have stabilized.
