And then when he does, he has the hands to steal pucks from people.
His 200 ft compete level has been stellar - a thing of beauty to watch.

Yep, he’s definitely empowered Gaudreau. I still remember hearing Gaudreau’s reaction when the media asked how he felt about Darryl calling him an elite 2 way player. It was probably one of Gaudreau’s best compliments he’s ever received from a coach and I think Johnny really appreciated that deep down. I’m sure he told his dad and Guy was probably grinning from ear to ear.
