Maybe on internet message boards thanks to memes and generally loving to hate on Toronto (with great reasons). But in the actual hockey world, I don't think there was that huge of concern that he wasn't a winner.

That is the whole point...Gaudreau is getting slammed by fans/media in Calgary like Phil was in TO. He had 99 points last year the hockey world thinks he is a great player...most would likely think he doesn't have enough help in Calgary and would be happy to have him in their lineup
God I'm not saying Phil is bad lol
