And both guys stand still a lot. Not enough skating on that line.

Really don’t give a crap about his career averages.

IMO, he can perform better.

See, there's a tricky breakout play by Ryan. In that case, the tricky play was also the smart play. He needs to do the smart play more often even if it might not be glamorous.

This game needs more Gaudreau. He's been somewhat invisible tonight.

Well yeah, that’s what makes a career average a career average. Sometimes he plays better, sometimes he plays worse, sometimes he plays average.

30 year elite defensively player who provides above average offense is already a fantastic player and I wouldn’t hold my breath hoping he gets better than that at age 30

Neil is not impressive on the second line. Not the shutdown line it used to be. Kick him back to the third. Second line and Chucky had more offensive AND defence without him. Agree?

I wanted to like lone survivor but couldn't get past the fact that it was so clearly filmed in the US. Just couldn't get immersed in it
