The "haters" wont be satisfied unless Monahan is skating circles around the o-zone and dangling through multiple defending players and shooting from every place like MacKinnon did when he was playing possessed. That's how people like to conjure up "driving play" in their minds.
Theres only a small handful of NHLers that carry teams on their back like that and are able to get away with it in that fashion (due to immense speed and skill).
Funny enough, the flames have one of them. He was unfortunately just playing some of his most frustrated hockey going into the post season.
