Great season derailed by 4 significant injuries which all required surgeries (amidst Eric Francis questioning his heart and character...)
In 74 games: 31 goals* + 33 assists = 64 points.
*plus 3 goals called back
Favourite plays: Both goals in NJ were gorgeous and his celebrations were so dorky, but his OT winner at home vs Chicago after being thwarted by Glass all game was so satisfying and deserving.
Love how we went years and years without a #1 centre. Monahan steps in and quietly gives us that consistently from day one basically. Awesome awesome player. Great video!
Love Mony. He's definitely in my top 3 favourite current Flame. He's such a smart player. Always knows where to be on the ice to get a good scoring chance - that he usually buries. Fantastic shot.

Is Monahan the smartest player on the Flames roster?
I think it might be Tkachuk, but Monahan is certainly right there.
This is a great highlight package and makes me think that Monahan is underrated. It's too bad that he dealt with injuries because I think he would have hit 40 goals last season otherwise.
Hopefully he can be one of the leaders that takes them on a deep playoff run this year.
My favorite parts of the video are his 2 shootout goals where Kelly Hrudey and Cassie Campbell both react with a mixture of admiration and disgust at how easy he makes the goals look with his release.

Sooo simple, yet sooo good. People talk about how hard it is to score in the NHL, but he makes it look easy with that lethal release. Case in point: that second goal at NJ. Within the span of about 1.5 seconds, he hit the crossbar once and then off the post and in. Ho hum, another goal.

Great job again AC love your Flame videos, you don't just show the goals but also assists, hits, posts, defensive plays Love It! Thx again! Monahan is a beast! The fact he is coming into this season completely healthy is very exciting.
With the additions of Lindholm, Ryan, Hanifin, and now Neal this season can't start soon enough!

Any plans to do another hype video closer to the end of the summer showing off the new acquisitions? I loved that one from when Elliott etc. joined the team.
These videos always get through the hockeyless months.

Yeah, I'd like to. We'll see if I can squeeze it in.
The last one got pulled because of the music eventually.
