This penalty shot was never a threat. He takes the puck at 1/3 pace, takes an inconsequential angle toward the net (not enough to make the goalie move) and gets too deep and flicks the puck into the goalie. Gaudreau's great on the moment, at pace. When he's given time like this, and pressure I suppose, the result isn't as exciting.
It's not coaching, Darryl didn't tell him to take the puck at a boring pace and get a little too deep.
It's a lack of coaching. This stuff needs to be practiced. How often did the Flames win a shootout this season early on?

Have you looked at the slow Mo yet? Dude it was maybe a half inch from being a goal. Demko tried to glove it and it glanced off his shoulder.
He also hit the crossbar on the break away in the first place
Questioning Gaudreau's skill lol
