This guy gives it all for this franchise.
Let's not forget that Backlund many moons prior went through the same injury cycle before finally getting and staying healthy for long stretches of time.
The problem is, the Flames don't really have the center depth to give Monahan the games off to heal up.
Sucks, but he's a true warrior for this Organization.

Yea, I disagree.
Does his injury negate him from skating hard? From playing with passion? A pulse? I’m not saying he doesn’t have an injury, but to call him a “warrior for this franchise”? Our definitions of “warrior” are different. When has #23 ever proven that when an important game is on the line, he’ll be the one to hop over the boards and make things happen? To go through someone to score the GWG.
And if his injury does prevent him from doing these things, and results in him playing this way? Then he shouldn’t be playing; I don’t care what our depth is.
We need actual warriors that can elevate their game when it matters. We currently have zero of those players.
