Couple of observations. Gaudreau needs to start cherry picking again. I know he has worked at being better in his own end but I think he needs to start looking to break out more and try and cherry pick some goals to get going. Second, why in the hell are the Flames not taking it to Barkov physically?? He is by far their most dangerous player and he is playing hurt and yet the Flames are not banging him around at all, they almost look like they are afraid they will break him. If you bang him around when he is sitting in front of the net or along the walls you neutralize his game. They should be taking it to him.
