Gaudreau gets a huge headshot and you wouldn't have any idea based on the rest of the period. Gio at least came in to fight, but a team that cares for one another will respond on the ice and get pissed. Make it hell out there for the other team.
Can you imagine how Edmonton would respond this season if McDavid was the recipient of that headshot? Maroon, Kassian, and Lucic would actually respond... and I hate all 3 of those players. But they would defend their star player FFS.

I recall and interview with Conroy one time when Ben Hanowski was left sitting alone in the Flames Cafeteria, Conroy was livid that the players were not making sure he was being included. I don't recall Gaudreau being treated like this last season but ever since he signed his contract he seems like he is on an island on his own taking shot after shot and being pushed around and that's just not acceptable.
Are the guys pissed off about Gaudreau's contract, or is it something else?
