Sean Monahan played his last game in the middle of March after playing hurt for 35 games. His final 12 games he had 2 goals and 4 assists. He has had 4 surgeries total. Both hips, sports hernia, and his wrist had to be reconstructed since they shut him down. The coach was fired and his RW Ferland's production also declined dramatically the final 2 months of the year. Gaudreau being the superstar he is and a guy that can create for himself continued to shine. Unfortunately for Calgary there will be major changes as the rest of the team couldn't step up to make it to the playoffs. With so many surgeries, you have to wonder if this guy will be able to return by January. That's why it's stoopid to play injured.
People don't remember it but Hawryluk was concussion prone prior to starting his WHL career. Always a reckless banger, he found out the hard way that there's payback. I think he put one guy out for 7 games with a head shot and was suspended for 2 games. It came back to haunt him as he received numerous concussions the rest of his WHL career and then also in the AHL. Tallon still drafted him cuz he liked what he saw at the combine. After a couple of games in the AHL he was brutally checked to the head and went down for a few months. He looked like he started to get back to form and then boom he gets concussed again. I think he finished the year in the ECHL. Tallon has a thing about picking up guys with injury histories. Guys like him never know when to quit until it's too late.
ps: Probably should move this over to the catch-all - Springfield AHL, CHL thread. I kind of hi-jacked poor Stillman
The guy just ran out of gas. 5'11"/148 lbs? Teams learn to bang the body and the head will fall just like in boxing. It's just mentally tiring to keep up the pace he did for a string bean like him. Wasn't he out 3 games at the beginning of Feb for something? Everyone said it was minor but you don't sit 3 games for something minor. Who knows if he played injured down the stretch and into the playoffs.kinda depressing how hepos stats went off a cliff though. loved stat watching him last year. was hoping he'd have ~55 pts in these playoffs. oh well.
