I think it was Gaudreau. The puck was 2' away from him and instead of grabbing the puck and risking a little body contact he turns the other way to cover the guy on the blueline. Leaving the dirty work for someone else. If Johnny took 2 strides toward the puck instead of backing away from a charging Draisaitl the goal never happens. Simply not willing to sacrifice his body to win a game.
He is great in the regular season and not sure where the Flames would be without him. But you can not win in the playoffs when your best player is not willing to lay it all on the line.
