Johnny Gaudreau: 2015/16 expectations?

[Alwalys]

that game-ending play tonight was absolutely bonkers.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

He is a very good player, sans 3 on 3.

 

[Johnnybegood13]

Damn nice OT Goal.

Was out of town and couldn't be at the game but after seeing that...bad ass comes to mind.

Sic hands

 

[Evergreen]

This kid is unreal. I expected a bit of a bump in the road this season after such a great rookie year, but it looks like I was wrong.

 

[Eichel 9]

The league needs players like Johnny G..such an exciting player to watch.

 

[Meowmix]

He was playing the 2nd half of the game like a madman, hadn't scored a couple of games and was obviously not planning to get stoned by the incredible play of Darling all night. Very awesome goal.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

He is simply to skilled and smart of a player to not finish close to ppg this seasin imo.
75-80pts i think.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

The guy is proving to be one of the most clutch young players in recent memory. He's been a big game, big moment player at every level.

 

[Meowmix]

20p in 21gp this season. 75-80 seems actually doable.

 

[Quality Oil]

Damn fine talent, that finisher against the Hawks was filthy.

Silently one of the best players in the league.

Will be interesting to see who develops even on another level.

Him or Panarin.

Really think they're twins of eachother.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Stat line
26GP 9G 17A 26P +2, 3 OT GWG

Good for 8th in the league in scoring. Not bad on a team that's struggled as much as Calgary. He's been pretty clutch too - 3G 2A in 3v3 OT this year.

 

[Deen]

Him or Panarin.

Johnny is the catalyst of Calgary's entire offence. Panarin plays with Kane.

 

[herashak]

Gaudreau is as close to kane as panirin is to gaudreau.

 

[Tofveve]

Gaudreau is as close to kane as panirin is to gaudreau.

so . . . he's close?

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Teammates aside, Gaudreau only has 5 power play points because the Flames have had the most brutal power play in the NHL (30th place @ 12.2%, 30th place in PP GF @ 9, 30th in PP Fenwick For per 60 at 57.9 - that's the only team with less than an unblocked shot attempt per minute). Last year the Flames' power play was middle of the pack at 16th, 17th, and 23rd in those respective categories.

Gaudreau's a guy who should be doing most of his damage on the power play, but isn't.

He's also only got 4 secondary assists (on 17 total), which is again attributable to the poor power play and struggling teammates.

He could very easily have 30+ points at this point.

After his dust up with Marchand last night.

The goal ended up being called back due to an offside on a coach's challenge, but I thought some of you would enjoy the wizardry.

I was waiting for video of that, called back so it's a non issue, but great play

He was feeling it again last night. He probably should have had 2-4 points, but thems the breaks.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I would argue that he processes and reacts to the game better than anyone in the world. Add that to his excellent quickness and hands, and it was pretty obvious that he would soon be dominating the NHL after not too long.

This should be emphasized. Honestly reminds me of watching a great NBA PG like Steve Nash.

He seems a half second ahead of everyone on the ice, which is a lot in today's hockey.




Flames lucked there way into an absolute future superstar, seems like poetic justice after what's really been awful luck in the high end of the draft for years(along with some legitimately terrible picks).

It's the only thing keeping me sane after Edmonton keeps getting 1st overals; We got Brodie and Johnny in the fourth, We got Brodie and Johnny in the fourth.

It actually calms me down when I'm stressed at work as well haha.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

How he came out of that game last night without a point is beyond me.

Ya still our best player on the ice last night.
