I'm right there with you. He had a couple of rushes that brought me to the edge of the seat because of pure speed breaking down the wing and driving the net....and then when it fizzles out and I then realize it was Gauthier.
I have 0 problem with this guy on the 4th line, going in and out of the lineup with McFacePunch on a per opponent basis.
Here's a crazy idea. Why not place him on the PK regularly? Similar are the reasons as to WHY Kreids was promoted there.
Speed, speed, speed. Means extra minutes for him and with his speed, well....you know.
Could take Kreids OFF, as he isn't getting any younger which could help in the long run. I mean, Kreids looked like crap vs TB, didn't he?
Anyway, if my memory serves me correctly, I think Gauthier DID play the PK in the past......probably more so under Quinn?
Correct me if I am wrong, but might not be such a bad idea.
