Some strange takes here about speed. Lucic wouldn't necessarily be the slowest player on the top line.
With Monahan skating in mud and Johnny's ability to slow the game down to a crawl, maybe this will work? 13 enters the zone, 27 goes to the net taking a couple bodies with him or drives the net hard distracting the goalie and 23 sets up shop in the slot? Could work.
He couldn't do it in Edmonton because McD only creates offence by his speed and no one else on the team is much of a playmaker.
