This is the 2nd time he's benched Gaudreau when they are trailing and they've failed to come back. It seemed like a pretty odd decision considering that Johnny was going pretty good last night, skating well and creating chances. His last shift he tried to deke past Moser at the offensive blue line and it got poked checked away. I guess that was enough for Vincent to bench him? They were down 3-1 with 6 mins left and he's trying to create offense, I guess he should have just dumped it in?
What kind of message is he trying to send? Does he not want his star players to try to make plays when they are down 2 goals late in the game?
It's a wonder to me why Gaudreau's confidence is low and he doesn't feel he's able to play his game. This team has 1 more win than the Sharks, it's incredible that the Vincent experiment is still going on.
