He moves the puck really quickly, and just manges to tuck it in from his knees. Pretty skillful play, and an important goal for the team.

Not true, Gaudreau scored his first goal last year against the Canucks.
Oh!!

There was a bit of annoyance when watching the game and hearing everyone broadcasting it refer to the goal as his first, then interviewing him about his first NHL goal...
I've sarcastically posted on both ends of the Gaudreau extremism because they're equally ridiculous and present but this post is serious.
I watched that gif a few times when it was first posted and didn't even notice he fell to his knees. Maybe it's the camera angle or I was looking at the puck instead of his itty bitty legs.

What an ignorant post.
Gaudreau definitely carried Arnold and Hayes. And just for the record, I would much prefer Gaudreau and Arnold before Hayes.
I understand. It was just funny to see 3 of you say basically the same thing in a row.

So he is what 2g 1a +5 in 7gp for his career now? Not bad for a rookie playing like 12 mins a night who is supposed to be some defensive liability . . . kid's 2 way play is severely underrated. He's no Selke candidate but he does pretty well for himself, especially on the backcheck and breakout.
I agree it was skillful and quick but I don't get the Wow factor.
He had more time than he figured to tuck the puck in.
404: sarcasm not found. Anyways congrats to Johnny, hopefully getting the monkey of his back will help open the flood gates!
He also isn't used on the PP, which I really do not get. It's not like the Flames have a great PP.
I know they're trying to shelter him and bring him along slowly, but the rest of the team is so offensively challenged it's frustrating at times.

Why take the extra time when it's not necessary?
If he took his time and Pavelec somehow got across he'd be wishing he didn't take his time. Two Jets player's sticks were right there too. What he did was put the puck in the net as fast and with as much force as he could. No different than a player rifling a one timer even when the goalie is caught out of position. You make sure you score the goal.
He had more time than he figured to jump out of the way of that bus....

It will be interesting to see if he starts getting a bit more PP time (and ice time in general). He really should be closer to 14-15 mins/night, playing in a top 6 role.
It's particularly awesome that those jumping all over the overzealous supporters basing their projections on one NHL game are basing theirs on five.
Everyone needs to take a step back. So many ridiculous comments all the way around.

Yeah my mistake. He is finally starting to get some. His goal last night was actually on the PP I think.

There are no brakes on the Gaudreau hype train.
Yeah? How did you like him lighting up on your team? Your team's effort looked like you guys were the ones rebuilding
