Seriously, Gaudreau doesn't avoid traffic on the ice...EVER, he actually loves the traffic areas because he loves to make people look stupid with his quick feet and stick...that is his game, you could make the ice surfice 100x40 and he would love it. and he's like David... the bigger the better.
A million videos of his work out there and people still don't get it.  |
Gaudreau has been compared to a lot of players but your comments remind me of another one.
I agree with you - and have said for a long time - that he doesn't shy away from traffic and in fact he handles it quite well.
In that regard, he reminds me a lot of a young Dale Hawerchuk. I doubt Hawerchuk weighed more than a buck sixty in his rookie year. But he would go up against bigger guys, kind of roll off of them, and then leave with the puck. Gaudreau does a similar thing.
