Some players are better than others at playing through pain and/or downplaying injuries to a medical staff that want to look after them, Monahan with flames staff is a̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶f̶e̶c̶t̶ a possibe example.

Who's ridiculous? I said he was seen in a walking boot. Team was saying its upper body...which sounds like its true.....but the key injury from what Francis said was lower body.

A few week or so before he started missing games, he was injured and went off the ice for a bit. At the time it looked to me like a groin, but was most definitely lower body. Perhaps he was playing through the lower body injury for a few games? Because he was struggling after that.

Wouldn't surprise me if a second injury, upper body, forced him to sit.

Monahan's body locked up taking faceoffs, every fan knew he was useless playing hockey but only the staff(and the player) knew why. this was an example of a player who's injury may not have gotten worst by playing but should be shut down as he's not healthy enough to help the team win.

You don't think that suggesting they got caught fibbing is ridiculous?

Suggesting an NHL team would be truthful about injuries is ridiculous IMO. Especially a Darryl Sutter team.

Can’t say it keeps me up at night.

This is for sure what happened...the night he had to "take a shot" was actually a lower body that he tested multiple times.

And he had an obvious upper body injury against the Islanders.

At some put it's better off to sit out and heal up rather than playing at 60% or whatever
