I don't know what else to say besides I watched it, I read it, and I disagree. That is what GG literally said and that is what the Flames literally did.
The Flames didn't get a single scoring chance for the last 6:52 of the game, despite completely dominating possession prior, and being down a goal late. The turnover by Gaudreau which resulted in a goal (which he should have have forward support on, which refs should have called a penalty, which Smith should have saved), didn't even register as a scoring chance.
It is truly fine to disagree with each other. I think the Flames beat themselves tonight, and it's not because of what Gaudreau did. If GG thinks it right to single out this play, I think he's flat out wrong, but I'm not surprised that's how he views it.
