He is nothing more than a pp specialist and a 3rd or 4th liner at this point.
We are Flames fans, we want to see every player succeed. Remember how hard we all were on Gudbranson before season started? Not like our bias continued after we saw him play in sutters system. He has been great and even his biggest hater can't deny he's been great.
So if Monahan was playing well I'd be the first one to say he was but he really isn't playing well. Is he competing harder than years previous? Yes but that really isn't saying much. He is replaceable and we wouldn't miss him at all.

I have no clue what kind of person he is, and don't really care.
On the other hand I think Monahan gets more criticisms because of scoresheet watchers and people who make assumptions because of past performance. I mean, when the panelists comment favorably on his play are they giving him participation medals?
No, Monahan had no shots against the Leafs. Neither did a lot of Flames. But Mangiapane and Coleman had 3 each to lead the team. I'm pretty sure some of those were feeds from the centre on their line.
