As far as I'm seeing from the refs this season, it's always a penalty if you hook their wrists, but it's not a penalty to slash their wrists. Makes a ton of sense...
GG should be just as frustrated on the bench as Gaudreau was leaving the bench. Completely unacceptable from the coach. If you want to be a players coach then friggin act like one and stand up for your players.
Otherwise, a really solid game from most of the team. I thought Brodie had one of his best games and definitely his best game playing away from Gio. When he keeps his feet moving he's able to breakup or join so many plays.
Please GG don't you dare go back to Elliott. Johnson has earned another start and if you played Elliott in back-to-back games to try and get him going then you better play Johnson tonight. Elliott is looking like he may not regain his confidence this season. He's lost on the ice, always scrambling and constantly falling down. That's not going to instill much confidence to the rest of your team. If the goalie is scrambling to make a save, the players are going to be scrambling trying to keep that shot from getting on net instead of making the right play and trusting the goalie to make a low danger save.
