Not sure I get the hate for Monahan. He's up and down the ice all the time. As soon as he doesn't score, some of you write him off. He's trying to cover both ends of the ice as a centre is supposed to do. Too bad that Gaudreau (and some of you) just feel that all Johnny has to do is wait for someone to help him out. This team will not get any better till we no longer rely on him.
But, I am most disappointed in Peters. His failure to change things up, especially the first line, definitely screwed the effort. His use of Jankowski, Neil and his line selections were choices that did nothing to help. That and the failure to utilize Bennett better was a sign of his short comings. As one of my Flames buddies says, "go jets go".
