Gaudreau was really buzzing out there. I don't know if it was Jackman hacking at him fired him or he wanted to prove he could play against the big boy teams.... but he was damn impressive. That backcheck in OT was great.
Jackman is such a bum. I mean play the kid hard if you want, but why hack and crosscheck him? I hate players like that. No skill to compete, so they resort to playing dirty.
I thought Monahan was very effective in shutting down Getzlaf last night. He was quite effective and essentially made Getzlaf a non-factor. Monahan is playing outstanding and just getting better. He is a difference maker when he doesn't score which is an incredible asset for this team.
Monahan also played 25 min last night. Pretty crazy considering he is 20 years old.

Monahan has the best possession numbers on the team despite playing much tougher minutes due to the Backlund and Stajan injuries. Big step forward from last year.

Guy is steadily becoming everything we hoped he could be as a great two-way centerman. And there's still more to come from him.

A lot of credit goes to Hartley as well for the way he has developed Mony over last season and this season. I think it is fair to say he is tracking ahead of all expectations in terms of developing a complete game.
Monahan is becoming an even more amazing player than we thought he could be this year, the only downside is that the boring Sean Monahan tweets seem to have disappeared.
As for Bennett, I'm pumped we got him but I wanted Ekblad... Look at what that kid is doing on a terrible team, he'd look great on the Flames defense right now....

Its a shame we're not as good at developing our players as the Oilers are, then Monahan would be unstoppable.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

No, no they haven't. There have been two in the last 24 hours.

I had absolutely no clue how this went in until they showed that overhead view last night. I even looked at my GF and said "Wait...what just happened? Is this magic?" She didn't care though
Regardless, magic!

Same. Except without the GF

It really is amazing how a guy so small is so good. He can take cross checks from a big oaf, pins Vatanen to the boards and causes a goal then he has the skill to score in the shootout as if the goalie didn't even stand a chance. It's almost unbelievable, he makes other pros look like amateurs.
