Wow great work 2nd line. Wish it ended in a goal, but fantastic work.
It looked like Rieder clamped his hands down on the stick and went down to try to draw the call when the pass was just out of reach. You could argue that Edler's stick shouldn't be in that spot, but I don't think it was even touching Rieder.Edler literally hooks Rieder in both hands there.
Also yes, Tkachuk took two cross checks to the face before that.
Mangiapane is 1 inch taller and Dube is 1.5 inches taller than Gaudreau yet they both play infinitely more physical and aren't afraid to get into contact and get physical. I wish Gaudreau played with even half the "no fear" mindset they play with.
And how embarrassing is that?
Not really. Look at where that pass was. Not behind enough to one-time on the forehand, not ahead enough to take on the backhand.Lucic caught sleeping
It's not?
Mangiapane has the shot of a 35 goal scorer. And he'll probably hit that mark someday.
Gaudreau doesn't have that shot...
and has still had a 36 goal season and a 30 goal season.
