I was actually encouraged by Gaudreau last night to be honest. He wasn't particularly awesome or anything, but he had some solid flashes of his old brilliance at times, and seemed to be generating more offensive chances than probably all of the previous games combined. I wish he got through Oleksiak - almost made him look like a fool.
Hopefully it was the start of the top line feeling it a bit more and turning things around. Flames are going to need their production if they want to keep playing games. Hope they turn it around, and after last night, I feel better that they actually might just do that.
