Gaudreau was much worse against the Canucks in 2015... invisible and not generating chances until game 6.

Yeah, Gaudreau/Monahan/Ferland were just snakebitten in 5v5 play in the playoffs. They actually carried the play against the Ducks while they were on the ice, but people tend to make wild narratives up to explain bad luck because "blaming luck is an excuse" when really, it's a numbers game that we just happened to end up on the wrong side of at the wrong time.
Just goes to show how things have to go right for you at the right time in the playoffs to truly succeed.
