I thought Zadorov was absolutely awful. I was actually shocked Sutter kept playing him after a couple of those horrendous turn-overs. I fear the wheels may have fallen off of Monahan - a total non-factor, I'm hoping it is just rust given his offseason surgery.
I like Andersson and Hanifin for the most part. I thought most of our players actually played really well. I don't know if it is a confidence issue or what it is, but we simply can't finish. After the second period we should have easily been up 3-1 or 4-1 against the lowly Ducks... but we let them stay in it.

Monahan looked smart, and much more physical than usual, but you're right, he was slow, especially playing with two burners like Mangiapane and Dube. I think it's hard to get on him early. But if things don't improve its going to be an ugly year for him.
