Sean Monahan is a healthy scratch after Daryl Sutter says he needs a reset. How did Monahan get to this point? Are we viewing this as a punitive scratch or strictly a reset? Plus, how much of this is on Sean Monahan? Jess breaks down the severity of Monahan's injury and how the training staff helped Monahan through the injury. It isn't about grit or passion. It's about preserving the quality of life for the 27-year-old. In recent years, players have opened up about their addiction and how it began when they played through an injury. Players like Jimmy Hayes have lost their lives due to substance abuse which began with an injury. Organizations need to do better. Jess ends the episode on a somewhat positive note with her winners and losers of the week.
