Sutter hockey at its best. Know your role and shut your mouth.
Fantastic.
And for those who crap on Gaudreau for trying to make a deft play at the line, and sometimes failing, that goal is why.
That was an absolute top tier skill move to start skating while reaching back to tip the puck over the defensemans stick to get in the clear. And then he still had to outpace the two defenders for 100 feet after that, to get that shot away, which also was top class.
No one else on the Flames roster could pull that off the way JG did.
It's a risk vs reward at the and I'm fine with trusting JG to pull moves like that and sometimes failing, if it means creating a quality chance off of a nothing play. He should be given that license.
