I don't care what he does during a long, generally meaningless 82 games, I need to see what he does when everything is on the line. At this point he folds like a cheap tent.

Really in game one is was Bouma's penalty that led to the winning goal not Hamilton's before that. I don't feel he's on his own cost the team anything as there's plenty of blame around and Gaudreau has had his share of opportunities that he hasn't buried and you cant win in the playoffs without production from your best forwards. Also some blame in game to has to go to Elliott for handing the Ducks a two goal lead. There's simply no room for error in the playoffs and you have to start games ready to play. He didn't so regardless of the Hamilton penalty you can argue the Flames should have been up 2-0 at that stage of the game anyway.
