But go out and make a difference with your legs. Cause havoc on the forecheck. Explode on the backcheck. Heaven forbid throw a hit.
This floating around bobbling pucks and sauntering to the bench. Not good enough.

I don't disagree.
But he's just not that player. He's never been that player. Typically from what I'm used to seeing, guys who have never played that way usually can't just flip a switch and do that. He'll be even further out of his comfort zone than he is now.
I think after this many years, we know what we have with Monahan. He's a #1 center but he isn't a physical presence, far from it.
