I didn't have much of a problem with the McAvoy hit on Gaudreau. I didn't think it was that late to be honest. What I don't like is that Gaudreau seems to be targetted more. No, it isn't the same like when Ferland was on that line. Slashing is probably the same, but outright big hits? Nah, only rarely did that happen. If teams continue targetting Gaudreau, I wonder how Peters and/or Treliving address it. Ferland was such an ideal fit on that top line (not taking anything away from Lindholm, or even speaking about the trade value). Peluso isn't as bad as people make him out to be, but he isn't going to be on the ice at the same time as Gaudreau. Ferland is really a fairly rare commodity.


Also, that was yet another fun to watch game. What a huge relief. I would bet Gaudreau is ok, and hopefully he is.

I wonder, would putting Bennett on that line help?
