I think we already know what Gaudreau is, we have seen him do this for years. Shrinks, afraid and can’t play intense in playoffs. The thought of him going to dirty areas or blocking a shot is laughable. Gaudreau can’t or won’t do it, like Monahan.
Gaudreau should absolutely be called out, and we needed him to score there not wilt away and be meek. He scored a billion points in the playoffs and had a breakaway against a rookie, he should be more
Confident and put that in the ####in net. Ffs, you’re Johnny Gaudreau. Stop being so scared, it’s pathetic.
It is also not a size thing, as Mangiapane did it tonight more or less. Johnny can’t or won’t though. It’s button hooks and perimeter play and self doubt. That’s what Johnny is in the playoffs and why it’s so damn ridiculous when he gets 115 pts in the season. Where does his confidence go?

I guess we view things differently. The middle six of this team has done nothing in three games. That’s the issue. The problem on the top line right now is Tkachuk. What little goal production we have this series has gone through Gaudreau. And one goal from the fourth line. Laying this on Johnny is misguided and blind to the real issue. Our middle six are getting dominated.
