Gaudreau's line is getting offensive zone time every shift. I've been pretty impressed with Kevin Hayes so far. Gaudreau is just a good player. I am no longer sitting and hoping that he will look good, rather I am enjoying his creativity and expecting more.
Flipping back to the Canada game during commercials, I am happy to see Monahan getting a regular shift this game. He's a better player than a bunch of the guys on Team Canada and hopefully by the medal round he will be a top 9 guy on the team.
Some other observations:
-Jacob Trouba is one of my favorite defensemen now. Big, physical D who passes and shoots very well. He's a great player and the Jets made a great pick.
-Gardiner looks good so far today
-Tyler Johnson has been less effective than I am used to
-Ovechkin is exciting
-Kadri seems a little better to me than his reputation suggests
-Literally haven't noticed any Canucks (though I am focused on the USA-RUS game)
