Gaudreau and Monahan should have been split up two months ago, yet even in game 5 they were together.

Curious to know what should have done?
Seems like splitting up you're two most dangerous offensive players when you need them most isn't likely to have changed the outcome of this series. There's a few seasons of evidence suggesting these two players are at their best when paired together. Splitting them up would have been a cute experiment, but I trust the Flames coaching staff knows more than anyone what the net benefits of that move may have been.
A coach has 82 games plus a preseason, a training camp, mountains of game film, and what, a hundred, practice's to know these players....you think know more watching from your coach drinking beer with Dorito crumbs on your shirt?
