Disagree about positioning. That's one thing he was doing right tonight, he was in places where the puck was going, often got possession but then would relinquish it to a Star, mainly due to his hands moving in slow motion. If he could move his stick with half the agility of Gaudreau, he would've had some great opportunities. Neal in Vegas was getting goals by just wiring pucks without much stick handling preceding it, since it didn't appear to be there for him then either. The man just needs to do the same thing here. Use his one gift and cut out most of the rest.
