Monahan didn't have a good playoff. His lack of pushback or any defense of Johnny in game 5 was not his finest hour. But Gaudreau smashed into a wall once the post season started. He simply wasn't the same player he was in most of these highlights. Ultimately, Johnny was the difference in a series against Nathan MacKinnon.

Gaudreau needs to find a way to fight through traffic and be this electric 99 point player in the playoffs, or the team will not take the next step. Some more slashes in the other direction would go a long way - he needs to finish well back in the Lady Byng race.

With that said, he's an absolutely gorgeous player. It's a treat to watch him in our jersey, and if he does take the next step in the next year or two, this group can absolutely win it all.
