I'm not trying to slander JG because I really like the guy as a hockey player and as a person having met him but he doesn't strike me as someone that hates to lose. It's a rare trait, again, not a lot of people have that aspect to their personality so it's not a chirp on him.

I honestly don't care one bit if he hates to lose or not because here's the actual facts of the matter. He has 82 points so far up to date, that's 82 goals right there to help his team win games. He's also figured in offensively on 30 of this team's 35 wins. If he doesn't find a way to put up points, this team basically cannot win when there's that kind of reliance on one player.
Whether this is considered hating to lose or not, he has helped this team win more games than any other player on this team. If every fan here wants more wins from this team, then the answer is that we need more Johnny Gaudreau's, not less.
Sadly though, we only have one. But we have plenty of other disappointments who have contributed to a lot of losses this season. Those are the guys we need to rid this team of regardless of how much they hate to lose.
