That explains it. Mullen wasn't the best skater in the league but had a great release and nose for the net. He was tough little SOB who could take the abuse of playing in around the net. Joey Mullen was one of my favorite Flames and he was a treat to watch, but Gaudreau won't play the game like Mullen. Gaudreau will hopefully taste as much success as Mullen in a Flames uniform.
