I thought that there were two goals that could have been prevented tonight if lindholm took the body...but I’m probably just being picky and would probably change my tune if I rewatched it.
Monahans problem is different than the other two imo...he’s being counted on to be a driving force offensively for this team...but he is just so ineffective on the forecheck that it hurts his line considerably, particularly because Johnny isnt going to be that player either. The problem with monahan is that you can’t put him anywhere else in the lineup because the other two centres are better defensively and physically than him. If he’s not putting up points, he really isn’t contributing a whole lot.

Monahan is good at one thing. Putting the puck in the net from the slot. If he’s not doing that he is invisible.
