On a positive note re: Gaudreau. I am sure he finally stopped the play-killing sharp-angle shot from the left boards last night. I can't remember seeing it once. Downside is that I am not sure he knows what else to do. Gaudreau seems to handle a lot of zone entries, but somehow always winds up isolated. Other teams know you can double team him as he crosses the blue line and he will frequently turn the puck over. It's been going on all season, yet the top line just doesn't adjust. Seems he never has an outlet pass. It's either dump it in, or try some fancy footwork around (usually) two defenders, sometimes three or four if he's feeling frustrated. I can't tell if he's out of sync with the rest of the line, vice-versa, or both. Not saying he needs to be benched for being completely awful, but maybe to give him a chance to gain some perspective.
