If tonight wasn't a classic case of squeezing a stick too tight, not sure what is, as far as Gaudreau. He couldn't handle a pass, or outside of a third period stick handle through 3 Blues in neutral zone. Same on OT goal. He's lacking confidence which goes without saying, and this game was about as blatant as could be as far as trying too hard.
Watching him skate off each shift tonight, he was always annoyed with himself. Scared is being thrown around here, and that's not it.
