Also, WTB...#1 line.
So disappointing. It just...feels and looks like unless your name is Talbot or Lucic, there are no Give a Fu**'s among the entire team.

I think lines 2-4 are doing more than enough to win this series...that's just not enough in the playoffs against the 3 seed.
The book is certainly out on our top line: The complete lack of anything from Monahan at the center position aside from slamming home the odd 2 foot putt is putting a terrible strain on Lindholm and Gaudreau to find ways to pick up the slack. The top teams have a top pivot who can create, will play effectively down low and on occasion carry the puck for a zone entry or two.
Monahan is at best a highly flawed second line center who needs a lot of support to succeed. Until this is addressed by Treliving, this team is not going anywhere. Pile on Johnny if you want, but it's painfully obvious that the pint sized forward needs a little physical help from the guy riding his coat tails his entire career.
