This. Hudler and Johnny are such good playmakers. And i think Monahan could score a lot of goals between the two of them with his natural finishing ability.

It's only a matter of time before Johnny and money are on the same line for a substantial period of time. Why not now I guess? I thinks it's more a matter of the flames giving jooris the best chance to succeed and rewarding him for turning some heads.

The only danger with that is we're getting into "too many eggs in one basket" syndrome with that move. Money, JG, and Huds are three of the four top scoring forwards on the team, and also three of the best possession forwards as well. It also means either Monahan is given more high ground with JG and someone else (who?) has to get buried, or JG gets buried and potentially suffers as a rookie who is a) straight out of college and b) used to playing half the games that an NHL schedule has.
Once Backlund is back, I fully support throwing those three on a line together. Until that time, we've only got Stajan as a centre (other than Monahan) who you can reliably bury in the defensive end and expect not to completely drown, which I think is a risk.
Idk if anyone has pointed this out yet, but JG looks like the leader for the Lady Byng trophy right now. 0 PIM. As a Canucks fan, you're welcome.

Unless Pat Kane and Logan Couture decide to fight each other in the second half of the season, I don't think we're in much danger of JG getting that trophy. Haha.

Nah. No one's scoring and imo you put that line together and see if it can get something started. Changes can always be made as it moves along.

Another goal for him tonight. Finding ways to produce even when the Flames play like ****. Very promising.
EDIT: Make that two goals, the second a beauty of a wrap-around.
EDIT EDIT: Gaudreau scores with a minute left for the Hat Trick!

His 3rd was a fluke. He didn't play that to go in off Doughty, did he? Did he?
He's got some magic.

Dunno, but he had enough other good plays this game to earn the Hat Trick.

Hi.
Been watching a lot of flames games this year, only because of my interest in Johnny Hockey, Don't really care for the team in general. But I'm glad he and the team are doing so well.
Finally Johnny gets a few bounces that go his way, for anyone that has watched him since his 1 game benching, he was due. So many missed passes and opportunities for points have eluded him.
Much like people talk about Crosby. Johnny has the same kind of mind, just a bit quicker and advanced when it comes passes that people just don't expect.
Glad to see him get some bounces that went his way. I'd really love to see him hit the 20 goals and possibly 25 goal mark.
Such a great story.

no. not intentional. just got the bounces tonight including throwing the puck at the net,
7even
Offered and lost
He didn't even put it towards the net though. He either thought he had a teammate there when there wasn't one within a mile of him, or he tried to put it off Doughty's skate.
It looked intentional, and if it was, ballsy
It would be really easy to just toss out another sarcastic comment aimed at the nay-sayers like "Yea but he won't be able to do that against the big rough teams like LA"...
but so much more than that needs to be said.
"He's so competitive," Bob Hartley said post game. "Everyone talks about how skilled he is out there but he's also so competitive. He plays with no fear. This was a big, rough LA team and he was buzzing out there. It was a great game for Johnny."
It's unreal what this kid is doing. A few years from now, with some experience under his belt, he's going to be a star in this league.

I don't think it was intentional, I think Doughty tried to block the pass to Monahan and he just happened to turn his skate where the puck would deflect in. I'll bet everything happened so fast as well.
