Gauthier is naturally slow but he is winning almost every face-off as he was 10 for 10 in USA game. Also his down low cycling game is very good as it created a few scoring chances. Where he has trouble is in a fast up and down the ice game where chances are created off the rush. Great idea by coaches putting him with Richie and Crouse as they all skate at relatively same pace which helps the line effectiveness.
What surprises me is the ineffectiveness of McDavid. The truth of it is he must still be hurt. Otherwise he looks a little slow compared to the best 95s. His line has been Canada's least effective. Thank god for Reinhart and Domi who are carrying this team. And Petan Fabbri and Paul truth be told have been the better 2nd line.
McDavid slow? Whaaaa? Or do you mean his reaction time
