After the first 5 minutes, Gaudreau reverted to the perimeter a bit, and passed up prime shooting opportunities.
Feel like his line could've struck another couple times, but they got a little shy in front of the net later in the game for some reason.
Team cycled it in the o-zone for long stretches but didn't do much with it.
This is what they do under Sutter the rare time they've struggled to find offense and it cost them like in the San Jose and Montreal losses.
They work for the cycle keeping things to the outside. Looks good but doesn't win games.
When they're like hyenas on the transition and being neutral zone turnover machines is when the offense flows. THEN once they have built a lead the offensive zone cycling is just used to kill the clock.
