I think the problem is the teams culture. Ferland and Bollig were not on the ice when Gaudreau was jabbed by Keith. The 4 other guys on that shift should have done something.

When Hamilton was on top of Seabrook, the Hawks didn't wait until their tough guys were out to go after Dougie, Toews took care of it himself. He is their captain, their leader, he sets the culture of the team, which is to defend teammates

Same thing with the Flyers defending their captain when he was hit by Hanzal. Every Flyer on the ice went after Hanzal

This is a young team that will need to learn that part; as much as I like Gio, he needs to lead the way in setting that team culture
