It'll be interesting to hear what Mony's been dealing with. Possibly return of the back problems that kept him out at the start of last season?
Nothing says character issues like playing through two injuries for a month.
Must explain why he’s only a third line winger. What a dud.What a quitter, a guy who really wanted to win would've played through 3+ injuries...
2 Months ... Since before the Carolina game before the All-star break.Nothing says character issues like playing through two injuries for a month.
Yeah like Auston Matthews.A true 1C would still be playing.
I know, too bad they can’t all be like Stajan who plays 1000 games a season. Imagine how many goals Monahan would have.Stajan plays 1,000 games and some guys can't play a whole 82 games without significant injuries. For all the strength training, nutritionists and yoga of this generation, it's amazing how often they get hurt.
Bu-bu-but Monahan is a fake #1C who has no leadership, no heart and only shows up in 1/3 of games.

I was being sarcastic, hence the sarcastic emoji..Yeah like Auston Matthews.
Oh wait a minute Shanny has him sat if he has so much as a hang nail. Rightfully so though.. These are the guys that are your franchise.
Monahan should have been pulled out of the line-up a month ago.

Monaghan will undergo wrist surgery shortly and has also been dealing with a painful hip issue.
"This isn't something that just happened,'' said GM Brad Treliving. "We're talking not just one significant injury, but two. Injuries that in a lot of cases would've keep a guy from playing at all.
"He's been trying to muscle through as best he can and showed a lot of determination doing it. He said: 'I'm good. I can manage it.' And we tried to.
"But it's just time now. We've had to step in and say 'Okay, enough's enough. You've got to get this looked after.' He can't function.
"The hip needs to settle down a bit but he'll have a procedure on the wrist and it'll be a rehab process over the spring.
"That's where we're at."
"Mony's a quiet guy so people might not see the character and the passion he has,'' said captain Mark Giordano.
"But he wants to win as much as anyone I've seen. He has that drive.
"It's tough sometimes watching someone struggle through an injury but Mony's that's type of guy. He's our best scorer, offensively he's a catalyst for us. Him and Johnny really make things happen.
"He wants to be that difference-maker for us."
Mony will have wrist surgery soon and has a hip injury that will heal with rest, no back related injury like last year.
