The most impressive thing is how the puck finds him.
You will see him take a route and wonder why he is backing away from the corner in that way...then the puck comes around the boards and ends up on his stick.
His hockey sense is just a level above.

Oh, and tie game!

Based on all the reports of how humble and team-oriented he is, don't think for a second that Johnny wouldn't want another one of these for him and his team -- especially since his brother would get one too:

Yipe, and people need to watch the little things he does, plays away from the puck and how he sucks in defenders to get open...extremely smart!

It really is. I see a lot of OHL games (Knights season ticket holder) and if the size thing was not a question there is not a player in the league next to McDavid I would take over this kid. If the size thing turns out to be a non issue this guy might be the best prospect in hockey next to McDavid.

Good. But Bodie has definitely been the go to guy for Union this game.

This is an excellent point as well. Playing with your brother is a rarity in any sport on any team. But to be able to win a championship at one the games top levels would be truly once in a lifetime. The thought of it almost has me cutting Onions.
Go Johnny! Go BC!

I can't say I've watched a lot of Gaudreau but that is a pretty crazy assessment. Especially without seeing anything in the pro ranks, I hope you're right though.

Bodie should be the more dominant guy, he is 24 afterall. Gostisbehere is 20.

It doesn't appear so, and he is in his senior year.

Roger Millions @RogMillions 1m Many rumors including some who believe a plane is waiting for Gaudreau and Arnold when their Frozen Four is over. Let's see if it's true
Let's hope Roger isn't using StrykerSteve as his source regarding planes again.

I said that play was too fancy, not his style in general. That particular move is not something that will work often in the NHL.

I am talking undrafted players. His hockey IQ, his ability to skate and escape hits, his pure hockey sense is unreal.
