Well, your point that Monahan “should be better” was in response to my post saying “shoulda buried that” is a silly post at the best of times, and that Monahan buries more than his fair share of them. Bob made a good save.
No one was comparing Monahan to Barkov until you decided that Barkov is the standard for number one centre. I’d be willing to bet Barkov gets shots that don’t go in too.
Monahan is a number one centre in the NHL. Is he a dangler, does he make fancy plays? No. I don’t really care. He plays a smart, effective game and he’s been a really consistent player for years.
