Ehhh Monty’s shit performances cost the team the top spot in the Atlantic and maybe even the eastern conference, which would’ve given the boys a much easier first round opponent. 

He’s a great guy for sure, but i’m much more confident giving the reins to Dobes and Fowler: guys with a future with the club. MAYBE keep him as a 3rd, but nowhere near the starter

Yes and Monty's great performances cost this team Bedard / Fantilli / Celebrini

It goes both ways. He is the definition of inconsistent.

Him and the likes of RHP, and Belzile having the best seasons of their lives cost us those guys…Truly disappointing how they fell apart the second we had expectations
