We can debate the depth players to the ends of the earth, but as long as the top players on this team continue to be disasters on the ice during even strength play this team is not going anywhere. Tkachuk and Lindholm started well, but they vanished. Monahan and Gaudreau were awful, again. You simply do not win when your top players don't get the job done, and putting up points on the power play is not nearly enough.
Johnny Gaudreau:
SF%: 41.67
xGF%: 35.52
SCF%: 37.50
HDCF%: 33.33
Sean Monahan:
SF%: 38.46
xGF%: 33.39
SCF%: 33.33
HDCF%: 33.33
They were actual disasters on the ice. They sucked. Top tier players usually don't dip this low, but look at that. Their GAF meter is disconnected from their boots. My patience with that duo as a fan has run out. Two calendar years of them being players that actively hurt the team.

What were the numbers of every Canadian top line road teams' in their game 1's? Plus the raw chance numbers.
Would be interested to see comparison.
