Going to focus on these two for a second.
Two things:
1) Stop playing them with Ritchie
Gaudreau and Monahan with Ritchie:
xGF: 45.2%
GF: 0
GA: 5
Gaudreau and Monahan without Ritchie:
xGF%: 52.5%
GF: 15
GA: 7
So it was a fun or two game thing but the fact it’s gone on this long is ridiculous and he’s an anchor bringing that line down.
2) They aren’t a 200ft shutdown line, stop trying to make them that.
Under Sutter the Gaudreau-Monahan-Ritchie line has the lowest offensive zone start percentage. Starting these guys in our own end is asking for trouble, especially when paired with Richie who is a questionable NHLer at this point.
