Just goes to show how things have to go right for you at the right time in the playoffs to truly succeed.

I've seen guys like Patrick Kane not produce in the first few games of some playoff series, and then explode later in the series productionwise and the retro-narrative is how great a 6 or 7 game series that player had.
Unfortunately Gaudreau didn't get that chance.
