Monahan hasn’t done that for Gaudreau very much this season. So it’s been a double or triple team that he’s faced most of this season.
I don’t think anyone should be throwing shade at this line right now either, they’re the only reason the Flames are scoring at all. They look dangerous off the rush while every other line is just firing point shots hoping it’ll bounce off something and in.

He did it because he forgot he forgot he could get hurt. I dunno. He used to do it between defenders. Now he avoids it like the plague.
Monahan looked way more dangerous than Gaudreau. He for sure distributed the puck better. And that isn’t saying he looked dangerous.
