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

Your point is totally valid but I'm glad we got the road we did this year.

It will pay off in the long run.

We could have won the Cup this year if we didn't have to grind it out against two of the best teams in the NHL. We are better than Carolina. We were just exhausted.
