This Monahan bashing BS is ridiculous.

Acknowledging the downfalls of our team is not "self pitty". If you think Mr Tap in rebounds and only take one timers from Gaudreau is a #1 centre than all you are doing is stat watching. I dont see how anyone can watch the Flames regularly and come to the conclusion that Monahan is a #1 centre that the flames can win with in the playoffs other than stat watchers or homers. Monahan is very skilled and a very smart player but when the game gets fast and hard hitting he is very out of his league he has no speed or dynamic ability to win games. Thinking that our centre depth (especially our #1C) is not a problem after losing in 5 games to a 90 point team just means you are delusional frankly. U can show me his point totals all you want but he doesnt pass the eye test. Theres plently of other players who put up lots of points who arent considered elite or "#1 centres". Monahan was probably the worst #1C out of any other team in the playoffs other than maybe Vegas and Nashville (even than both the centres for those teams are fast and can create plays and have good playoff records unlike Monahan).
