This entire thread is devoted to discussing Monahan, so yes I am calling him out on it. I believe Bennett was in around the scum as well, and he was all over it while Monahan stood off to the side. That's not the only time it's happened in the season but it's this particular instance that stood out for me. Throwing punches is not the only way to defend your teammates.
He disappears for long stretches every season, when he's not scoring, he's not noticeable at all.
