Gaudreau isn't Gaudreau, Monahan isn't Monahan, Brodie isn't Brodie, and Giordano is playing half as intelligent. What do you expect to happen when that's the case?
I don't think that a definitive statement can be made because all of the top players have played better than they are currently, but yeah this year they've looked like a team of grinders with minimal hockey sense trying not to make mistakes rather than a speedy, skilled team with one of the top first pairings and two elite forwards on their top line.
