Gaudreau hasn't played well at ball this series. Understatement.
And now of course you see some of his usual critics emerge, and no doubt we will hear more shots at his diet and fitness. Because I guess some people are privy to such things.
But if it turns out Gaudreau isn't good enough to drive a championship calibre team, well most players aren't. He is incredible value for a 4th round pick and at his salary. Some of the criticism should perhaps be directed at those responsible for construction of a team where he is the best player.
That doesn't absolve him of blame. He needs to play a lot closer to his capabilities to say the least.
I'm hopeful we see a good game from him. If he could just get his confidence clicking its not too late for this to be a series still.
