Right, but how does that explain Monahan’s lack of production prior to the Darryl Sutter’s arrival then? Sure, I can see him pushing and shoving more and he appears more engaged in one on one battles, but how does that hurt him offensively? Did he forget how to shoot the puck?
His line is playing against lesser lines these days and they’ve been getting offensive high ground for most of this season, yet he’s on pace to score the fewest goals of any year he’s played in the NHL (pace).
