I thought he was really good defensively. He was back supporting the defensemen really well and broke up a few Habs chances.
I admit it's hard to assess a guy like Monahan because he's not offensively dynamic, I had the same opinion as you during the losing stretch, but I've been trying to really pay attention to his play away from the puck since Darryl praised him for doing all the things he asked and I'm starting to notice some really good things defensively. Maybe I'm "looking" for positives, but I'm just trying to see what Darryl sees.
The new line he's on is playing a lot better and they just seem like they should breakout for some goals soon. They've had a lot of chances and offensive zone pressure.
