After overcoming crippling injuries, potential unrestricted free\u002Dagent forward has fit in on and off the ice for rebuilding Habs.
Monahan has 5-11-16 totals in 23 games with the Canadiens, giving him one more point than Kadri has in 23 games with the Flames.since the trade and it was an emotional night for him, including a video tribute on the scoreboard during the first period that drew a standing ovation from the fans while players on both benches stood up and banged their sticks on the boards.
Milan Lucic played with Monahan for three seasons with the Flames and saw the pain he endured. Monahan has said he had trouble walking and sleeping because of his hips. Lucic recalled watching Monahan being unable to sit for an extended period on team flights because of the pain, having to get up and move around.Article content
“He had struggles here his last two years and a big part of that was the injuries that he was dealing with and they weren’t just minor injuries,” Lucic said. “When you have those hip injuries they’re big-time injuries. He’s one of those guys that doesn’t complain. He battles and plays through being hurt and being injured. We saw him in agony playing through injuries. To see him healthy again and having some early success … for a great person and a great teammate like him, it’s good to see.
Lucic added it’s nice to see Monahan performing the way he is with the Canadiens because this is a contract year for the 28-year-old, who can become an unrestricted free agent this summer. “One of the things about him maybe that people don’t know, he’s such a generous person, such a generous teammate,” Lucic said. “He was really welcoming and such a great guy to me when I got traded here and we bonded right off the get-go. And another thing, too, you don’t realize how hard he works. He takes really good care of himself and works really hard in the offseason and he does every day, whether it’s a practice or a game day to get himself ready to play.
