It is that immediate recognition, and the effort and speed, that allowed him to catch up to the paly and intercept the pass.
Then when he sling-shotted around the net, he was absolutely flying! I thought they were going to get the winner on that play for sure.
They also should have won it on Brodie's rebound. Unlucky there. It should never have gone to a shoot-out.

To spread the love, you can see that both Gaudreau and Granlund get on their horse the minute they hop the boards.
Love the work ethic. You can see these guys are itching to play and want to win.
