He keeps getting St. Louis comparisons, which makes sense due to his small size. However, I've noticed that no one has really compared him to Theo Fleury, which is a little surprising to me because (and I realize that he's a few inches taller than Theo) Johnny seems to be less of a playmaker like St. Louis and more of a clutch sniper like Theo was.

Thoughts?

Gaudreau's temperment is galaxies away from Theo's from everything I've seen of him. I think the complete lack of aggressiveness is why I wouldn't compare him to Theo.

Nice article, love Gaudreau's attitude toward hitting the ice. But it would have been nice if Scott Cruikshank could have spared a word to mention another Flames prospect, Bill Arnold, is also on the team and scoring at a PPG rate, since Jankowski and Gillies earned passing mentions.

Man would I love to watch the Boston College vs Providence game!! What a fun game it would be to see Gaudreau & Arnold play against Jankowski & Gillies.

Game will be played December 7th at Providence

I have a feeling we're gonna have more Flames fans on the East Coast one day.

Does anyone in Canada even get NBC Sports Network? My Telus guide is showing Vermont & Maine tomorrow, but that is on the CBS channel.

I'm assuming it is, I was just hoping that I could watch it on TV. Looks like that's not a possibility.

^^Yes, NBC Sports is the old Versus.

BU is up 2-1 in the 2nd period, but Gaudreau had a beautiful assist off the skate on BC's goal.

If you guys want a Gaudreauby Baker t-shirt, Kent over at flamesnation.ca (aka metrognome) is ordering them in bulk from Boston to save the shipping money.

http://flamesnation.ca/2012/11/30/ga...rts-a-question

I'm getting a couple of 'em and I just thought i'd pass it on. He's probably gonna cap the order in the next day so if you want one- get one!

He reached his 30 order limit for this batch. If he gets at least 10 for the next batch I should be getting one.
