This is what I love about Gaudreau, he fights to mop up his own battles. However, some have short memories here. When Tanguay came into the league, he was supremely skilled, not unlike Gaudreau, but also possessed that desire to make up for mistakes. Perhaps being quite a bit bigger than Gaudreau made a difference, but he was also very exuberant and quick to backcheck when he was a young member of the Avalanche. I think his transition to bona-fide first-line LW in the early 00's changed his checking play. The same may happen to Johnny, but let's hope not.
That being said, GO FLAMES GO! Big 2 points tonight, please.
