If TPC shows up….

Did you see an amateur won the golf tournament yesterday? Beat most of the best guys too. That’s nuts. Not since 91 did that happen

The last few weeks I’m not sure I’ve ever been so irrationally angry what this team does to us

At least we aren’t Bills fans!! ((Falls over in laughter))

Not a Bills fan, but really wanted to see the Chiefs and TSwift go down. Brutal.

Yea that was cool. Sucks he doesn’t get any of the prize money. Although he gets a 2 year exemption on tour once he goes pro now so the stress of having to go to the korn ferry tour is over. Plus the sponsors and NIL money is gonna be huge for him now

Yea I am still curious how it’s going to all play out once the deal between LIV and pga tour is finalized. Curios if players will eventually be able to go back and forth between both

Seravelli has a pretty good column on Monahan:

Middle Six Center, Crafty Playmaker

After missing 74 games over the last two seasons, Monahan has rebounded to become one of hockey’s best comeback stories this year – and now a commodity ahead of the trade deadline. For maximum impact, Monahan will be playing with two high-end wingers and/or one elite shooter. If he drops to the third line center role, he can easily fill in on the second line late in games, even at the wing position.

Monahan earned the nickname ‘Boring Sean Monahan’ in Calgary mostly through his personality in media interviews. His game won’t earn him spots in highlight reels or Top 10s, as it isn’t filled with flash and dash, but his ‘boring’ is the kind of reliable that coaches crave in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Monahan combines his strong Hockey IQ with work rate to put himself and his team in the best position on the ice to make plays.

For a five-year run from 2014 through 2019, Calgary could pencil Monahan in for 30 goals and 30 assists each year. At this stage of his career, his offensive production has taken a hit, but he still consistently excels in completing passes, attacking the net with high percentage shots, winning faceoffs and defensive zone posture.

This season, Monahan ranks 38th among all NHL forwards in completed passes at even-strength, according to SportLOGiQ. He has the seventh highest faceoff win percentage (56.9 percent), which is fifth among left-shooting centers, and he is the best at winning draws on the penalty kill (55.9 percent) – among centers with at least 600 faceoffs taken.

Even though the Canadiens’ power play has been up and down, Monahan can play the bumper position or act as a net-front presence on a second unit. According to NHL EDGE, Monahan is in the 95th percentile in high-danger shots on goal this season.

Defensively, Monahan’s intelligence give him the ability to anticipate well and get a head start, which helps make up for a lack of footspeed in backchecking, properly angling puck carriers and supporting his defensemen. He is particularly strong inside of the dots in his own end, ranking 13th in stick checks that have created loose pucks.

Given the relative lack of talent that he’s played with in Montréal, it’s pretty remarkable that Monahan is actually on track to collect more points than than former teammate Elias Lindholm this season – and is expected to be available at a lower price point by comparison. Why is that?


He goes on to “BUYER BEWARE” and the Rangers being a potential partner for him:

The biggest question surrounding Monahan has been: Can he grind through an entire 82-game slog and stay upright for a Stanley Cup chase? There is still a long way to go. He hasn’t played a full season since before the pandemic and it’s really been almost five years since he’s been this productive.

It is particularly noticeable the lack of physicality with which Monahan has played, given that the game goes to another level in the postseason. Monahan has registered a grand total of nine hits so far this season, which ranks 405th among all forwards. For comparison, Monahan was credited with 228 hits in his career-year in 2018-19 in Calgary. Does he play consciously thinking about staying healthy? How will he survive the grind of a Cup chase?

We referenced Monahan’s lack of footspeed, and while his mind makes up for some of that, it should still be a concern for teams that play with pace. His top skating speed is about five percent below league average, according to NHL EDGE puck and player tracking, which probably isn’t going to surprise anyone.

Lastly, Monahan’s shot has also lost a bit of luster. So far, his hardest shot this season has topped out at just 81 mph, which is well below league average (85). That means his shot isn’t something he can use from distance. He’ll have to be in close to score.

Depends how you look it at lol his salary fits tho is the thing. Maybe even without retainment. He’s under two million bucks

Defensively responsible and faceoffs are what would sell me, and Fil insurance policy

Well I can’t see it right now join the club no one likes me there either

serious question - outside of the lightning and maybe fleury on the pens, what teams have had an elite/HOF level goalie since 05 that have won the cup? teams have won with (frank)ing matt murray, binnington, crawford, etc - feel like we just need an above avg goalie that gets hot at the right time so we can better utilize any crazy goalie money on icing a better team.

We don't want him at any cost!
Despite being made of glass, he still gets hurt as strictly a perimeter player. He won't go to the dirty areas of the ice. You guys think Wheeler is slow and lost a step? Well, Monahan is the same! We need strong, tough players for a playoff grind. This is no longer Monahan! PASS!

Agreed. 6 solid guys, big and mobile. Vegas is perfect example. Minutes TOI 18-22 for each guy so they’re all fresh. This is ultimately part of what is killing us. We’re not 6 deep back there
