I mean, when you look at the team, how many guys do you think express how much they hate losing in that room?

I think you are correct. Terrific at leading by example. But when the guys need the emotional boost or a fire lit under them, he doesn't come across as that guy.
I see Tkachuk being that guy one day soon. Although Monahan has had a letter for 5 years or so, maybe he's a great motivational locker room guy, who knows.
