Flames could use secondary scoring. Monahan isn't giving them any. So yeah, sometimes when they lose it's because a player like Monahan doesn't generate any offense.
You can't blame losses on one player but unfortunately Monahan deserves his criticism. He's just not contributing right now, even if he did make a nice play stripping the puck in the game.

I agree with all of that. And of course, there are lots of guys without a lot of offence right now.
