Playoff hockey is not suited for Gaudreau, I think even he knows that. But he can still be successful I think, he just needs a center that’s more puck dominant and can carry the puck up the middle more instead of always deferring to his winger Gaudreau. It’s tough always being expected to create from the wing when double teams and etc are coming at you.

Then you play Johnny with Bennett and maybe someone like Lindholm. Remove Monahan from the situation entirely, let him try to find his way on another line. He just seems to be floating aimlessly out there waiting for a feed from Johnny that will never come. So give him others with a good motor who like to shoot that may face easier minutes, like with Mangiapane and Czarnik.
It's time to split the big two up. Each are deferring to each other and hoping the other gets something done. Hell, it was long overdue after game 3. I'm not sure why it hasn't been tried now. We are against the ####ing ropes, time to try some experimentation.
