Furthermore, the team as a whole is still working to learn the system. Hopefully that will come.
Looking on the bright side, what actually had a positive possession game in both games. 24 shots in the first period tonight was unreal.
I'd be okay seeing Kulak sub in for Wideman tomorrow.

This post nailed it. The Coilers had a full training camp and preseason to develop their top line's chemistry while Gaudreau had none at all. As much as I'd never want to commit to the money and years they gave Lucic, someone who creates space and still has offensive finish would look good on Gaudreau's line.
Also, looks like McDiddly has already graduated from the Wayne Gretzky school of entitlement when it comes to referees.
