Flames announce season-ending surgery for a key member of their leadership group

"The good news here is he's got a lot of time to get this addressed before next year. He had his left hip done last year and it feels great. He's doing wonderful with it.

"This is now the next challenge for him. No question, a great deal of disappointment. We talked a lot yesterday and at the end of the day when your body is telling you you can't do it, you can't do it. We'll get it fixed and we'll move forward."

"This guy plays through a lot of things and for people to challenge or question him I think is wrong. Most people out there couldn't play through a third of what he has and he keeps it to himself.

"Go in that room, there's 23 players who love that kid. He wears that letter for a reason. He plays a different role from the previous seven or eight years. He doesn't b***h and whine – he says, 'what can I do to help the team?' That's what Sean Monahan is all about."
