Exactly. I'm sure I've been critical of him in the past, but really, he put up 80+ points this year. That's just fine for a #1C in my books

As much as I wish every high scoring player we had was as tough and gritty as Iginla, realistically, not going to happen.

I think that’s just it... Monahan gets a bad wrap for his physical play and to an extent rightfully so. My opinion is that the criticism he takes is blown out of proportion. Unfortunately for this team the entire C position is soft. The real culprit in my eyes is Jankowski... I know he is young and has assets but there is no better place to solve being soft at C than his spot on the depth chart

I haven't watched it all but it's interesting watching Sean and his buddy Tom Wilson hanging out.

That was really good to watch actually. It's nice to see guys like Monahan in his comfort zone. You can tell he's a pretty low key guy, who probably has a wicked sense of humor. Wilson strikes me as a pretty stereotypical jock.

Cabbie can be done already. He's a goof.

Not sure if right place for this but i am hopeful that the silver lining of the disappointing fizzle out to the season is that all the players are peeved and have big off seasons, especially strength gaining.

Not that colorado beat the flames based on pure muscle alone but the team needs to be harder to play against. Weird to say for the 2nd overall reg season team but the standings sure dont matter for anything if you exit the playoffs with your tail between your legs in round one.

Ill be very disappointed and question the leadership if this team doesnt play with a chip on their shoulder starting game 1.
