Season 2020 episode 9: The one where the top line gets going
I posted this in another thread but felt like it may be relevant here. I think everyone is aware of Gaudreau's avoidance of contact, especially in the last handful of games. I think there is a reason for that, and I suspect there are positive signs for him moving forward:
Gaudreau was actually taking hits to make plays in the first 2-3 games vs Winnipeg, not really shying away at all. But since then you can actively see him avoiding contact. He's taken 10 hits so far through the playoffs, 9 of which came in the first 3 games vs Winnipeg. He then went 4 consecutive games without taking a hit:
Gaudreau hits taken by game:
gm1 - 4
gm2 - 3
gm3 - 2
gm4 - 0
gm5 - 0
gm6 - 0
gm7 - 0
gm8 - 1
Last game was the first hit he's taken since game 3 vs Winnipeg, but he also started to look more confident again. I suspect he was injured on one of those hits vs the Jets and has been playing through a hurt wrist or shoulder, which would explain his desire to avoid contact. Hopefully his play last game is a sign that it's started to mend.
I think he just doesn't like to get hit since he's so small.
We also need to stop taking penalties lolTalk about lines all we want
but we need the D to play better, and we need the coaches to get the team playing a more aggressive, active game.

Quick short passes. Active sticks. Pucks deep.Get back to the quick passing that looked so good in the first period of game 4. Don't give Dallas time to clog up the lanes. Helps both offensively and defensively.
