Neal, playing RW, then takes one of the most over the top float around glides I’ve ever seen. Even for a guy just finishing a backcheck, it was absurd. He floats down into the far corner and swoops back up ice along the left wall.
He’s playing RW, we are up 1 goal, don’t have possession of the puck in our own end, and he’s blowing the zone on the off wing. Sit your ass down for a few games.

After reading that last line I thought you were writing about Gaudreau.
