In the past seasons sure, but Gaudreau has really committed this season defensively.
Quote:
“His commitment this year on the backcheck and playing in the D-zone has been next level,” Giordano said. “He’s always been a great offensive threat, but now you see at the end of the games when we pull our goalie, a lot of the time, that’s the line that’s out there. And it’s a credit to all three of them. Monny’s commitment has been great too. Lindy’s great at turning over plays, as we know.
“Johnny can be so effective defensively because he’s so fast, a lot faster than people give him credit for. The other thing I’ve noticed is all the breakaways he’s getting this year because he can read the play and anticipates so well and can pull away from guys. I watch a lot of hockey and I honestly think he’s the MVP. I know he’s on our team and I get to see him every night, but what he does for our team is second to none.”
