Player Discussion Sean Monahan

[InfinityIggy]

Have you forgotten how bad he was on Granlund's LW, or on Stajan's LW?

The only time he was effective at LW was when he had great linemates (Backlund/Frolik). Where he has looked good at C even with guys like Brouwer and Chiasson on his wing.

If by bad you mean, didn't produce. Otherwise he was perfectly fine on LW. He struggled defensively at C primarily because he hadn't bulked up yet.

Now that his body has matured it isn't surprising to see him doing well at C.

Sam is with Gaudreau because JG will help him produce, and because Sam is ready to play as a top 6 C. Monahan can produce with Versteeg, and when needed Gully still throws out Gaudreau/Monahan on the PP and in situations where we need a goal badly.

Why is no one talking about Monahans in-between the legs goal?

Defenseman goal, just ask Marek Malik

Yes! That's one of the best goals of the season that's been scored. That's the most razzle we've seen from him.

 

[Anglesmith]

Well, Hox, I guess the answer to your question is that while he provided plenty of razzle, he failed to dazzle.

AS, I think we solved how to make Monahan a stud again. He needs to bring the Dazzle with the Razzle.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Now on pace for 28 winger goals

No longer allowed to be boring?

Now on pace for 28 winger goals

26 winger goals, 2 d-man goals. *

 

[Volica]

26 winger goals, 2 d-man goals. *

I'd say about 20 winger goals, 5 3C goals and 1 Dman goal.

Is Monahan's pace too safe?

Is Monahan's pace too safe?

What are the odds that he ends the season with 64 points?

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

I've noticed a trend with Monahan.

Starts off looking awful.
Fans constantly rag on him.
Heats up.
Paces for 30g/60p
Ends season with 30g/60p
Is still a good number one centre

He's basically Iginla. If he can get off to a hotter start then he should eventually be able to creep into that 75pt range.

Amazing. You people are so much obsessed with fiction forward scoring's no longer a big deal.

Great counter argument. Forwards do things other than score. I think these types of things might even show up in, advanced stats?! I also enjoyed the shout out to the always useful 'invisible other'.

What do you want me to call you? Popeye Candy Sticks? If you don't give your group a name, I've to say "you people" to make a proper sentence.

I think you need to refine your sense of humor a bit, that was very clearly a joke

You think..

 

[Janks]

You think..

Monahan is clearly a winger who scores D-man goals. Nothing more. Definitely not a 1C - closer to 3LW in the A.

 

[Shawnofthedeadz]

Monahan is now in the NHL's top 25 for faceoff percentage at 53% and tied at 22nd for goals.

Pretty good for a winger scoring d-man goals. Now if he could only get more goalie assists he could become a more complete player.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Not bad for a 3C.

 

[Lunatik]

Not bad for an AHL 3C.
