Yeah, I liked our effort with Gaudreau out as the players had to take on more responsibility and that's something they should have been doing from the beginning of the season. Exceptions being the Backlund line.

Between a contract hold out, his performance at the World Cup and his impact on the team last season, the team seemed to be building almost everything around the third year player carrying the ball and making things happen. Star players should be relied upon, but you can’t have the rest of the team standing there and waiting for things to happen.
