Gaudreau isn't playing like a first line player but he has four points and is +2 in 7 games. Plus the Flames need to get him going. Don't be so dramatic.

One thing I just remembered this morning — didn’t Gaudreau injure his wrist late in Game 5 against Winnipeg and have to leave? Not suggesting it’s the sole root of the problem as he seemed to be stickhandling and shooting okay on Friday, but it might be reason why he’s being a bit more cautious out there..
Let’s face it — Johnny has NEVER been a physical player, so to suggest he should be grinding it out on the boards now seems a little far fetched. He’s a player that excels when he has time and space, and that’s not something he’ll easily get during the playoffs outside of the power play and occasional 4 on 4.
I also think the league (and specifically defenceman) have gotten quicker since Johnny broke into the league, which means he can’t just skate around everyone anymore...
