It begins. A fantastic season for Gaudreau personally. That trio really dominated for long stretches of time. My favourite play of his was his breakaway pass to Ferland at 6:30, though his assist on Jagr's only goal is pretty special as well obviously.

2017-2018 Stats:
In 80 games: 24 goals + 60 assists = 84 points.

Part 2 will be out really soon, it's 99% done just need to review and possibly re-render. Normally I do Monahan next, but to break it up I could dive into Tkachuk (another 2 parter for sure). Then bounce back and forth between their linemates (Monahan, Backlund, Ferland, Frolik).

It just means a longer break between Gaudreau Part 2 and Tkachuk Part 1, but will be followed by several videos quickly (hopefully).

Thank you for this AC! Love these videos every year

44 seconds in a Troy Brouwer special

Thank God! This is always the highlight of the painfully long offseason! Thanks AC!

Lumby Lager · 05-30-2018, 07:07 PM

Yay!

Watching that jagr goal really makes me wish he had been healthy here. The hopes were so high!!!

That shootout goal on stalock was dirrrrty. He looks like datsyuk sometimes...

Thanks AC as usual

I love how the 84 point season came after playing with a secretly hobbled Monahan for the last couple months, the unfortunate family issue late in the season, and the team largely deflated after missing the playoffs.

If those things hadn't happened in 2018, I think he would have legitimately challenged for the scoring title.

No disrespect to Monny, but if the Flames can somehow find another top line forward and or bolster their top six, Johnny is going to win an Art Ross.

He's the straw that stirs the drink, one of the best wingers in the NHL, and one of the top few exciting players to watch. We're so lucky to have him. He's a rare and immense talent.

It seemed like every ES goal/assist was off the rush. It is definitely when he does his most damage with his speed and vision, but is it really neutralized that much during zone possession? I know it has been discussed before, but it this video sure illustrated that theme.

AC does awesome work and I love these videos. The only real Videoligist (? sp) that we have for the Flames. Thank you, AC!!

I’m not sure if I missed it before or if it’s new.

But nice touch on the scoreclocks.

Textcritic · 05-31-2018, 02:15 PM

Thanks for that, AC, but your video reminded me about how infuriated I was about the Dallas game (24 Nov) and the SJ game (14 Dec).

Classic_Sniper · 05-31-2018, 02:45 PM

Thanks AC. Excellent work. I can see Johnny being a perennial top 5 scorer for the next decade here; especially if the PP ever figures it out.

OldSam · 05-31-2018, 04:46 PM

Thanks so much AC. After this disappointing season, it is nice to be reminded how lucky we are to have him. Will watch it completely when I get to my big computer.

Haha thanks. I started it last summer.

It's so much extra work for basically no real gain, but I enjoy it. It also makes it super easy to spot when my videos are used in other people's work. I see my subtle watermarks all the time now on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram videos.

Yeah I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one.

dino7c · 05-31-2018, 09:18 PM

good god get this guy a high end RWer to play with...he will give McDavid a run

bigrangy · 05-31-2018, 09:29 PM

I hope there’s a counter for “time spent with the puck on his stick before scoring” for Monahan. Probably 10 seconds total. Quiet but super super deadly.

Great video as always AC

activeStick · 05-31-2018, 10:42 PM

Johnny's steal on Hamhuis and subsequent goal was a thing of beauty.

dammage79 · 06-01-2018, 01:56 AM

I know this is a Gaudreau video but I'm pretty sure Monahan has scored all 138 of his goals with between the face off dots .

GoJetsGo · 06-01-2018, 02:19 AM

Watched it a second time and it just underlines how outright crazy it is we've had a few people say "maybe he's not the type of player you win with".

The guy makes everyone on the ice better with his vision and the way he anticipates where they're going to be.

To be a point a game player with how little he had to work with this year as a feat of it's own.

There are very few players who see the game the way he does. So exciting to watch.
