Why does Adam Gaudette lead the Senators in goals?

[Ouroboros]

He finally got the crystals tuned just right. The resonance is elite and he's vibing right now.

Where in Ottawa does he go to? Sens fans chime in

 

[FinlandPanther]

This is the last time I pick the Senators to make the playoffs. I try and f***ing believe in them every time but that team is just rotten. And Gaudette just found the right fit.

 

[NyQuil]

Gaudette at 775k or Nylander at 11?

Same number of series wins.

When they hired Travis Green as head coach, I knew they were in trouble.

 

[RobertKron]

I'd love to see him keep up this pace and finish the season with 50 goals and like...4 assists.

Imagine he won the Rocket with like 180 SOG

 

[PaulD]

I never thought he would never recover mentally after kicking his wife in the head at their wedding

what ??

Great impersonation of Cheryl Pounder

 

[Oddbob]

33 shots and 12 goals, not sure I have seen a stat line like that. Have they all been crease area goals or something?

A lot of them yes.

It's a cliche but he's keeping his stick on the ice. Going to the net, looking for loose pucks and generally knowing where to be. He has a real finisher mentality about it right now.

 

[BonMorrison]

Hockey Gaud back eh.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hobey Baker winner.

I remember him as the guy that effectively ended Brandon Sutter's career.

 

[AD1066]

10:46 TOI per game, 33 shots, 36.4 SH%.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's already scored half his goals for the season.

Gaudette at 775k or Nylander at 11?

*laughs in Stefan Noesen*

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

He's got a very good shot and knows where to put himself on the ice to get good scoring opportunities, while not having a reputation for being that kind of player so teams are probably not defending him as closely as other goal scorers around the league usually are.

Then he got put on Stutzle's line and he's been a great player for Stutzle to score goals off of.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

He’s been good, opportunistic, and extremely lucky.

It will be cool to see if he can hit 20.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

10:46 TOI per game, 33 shots, 36.4 SH%.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's already scored half his goals for the season.

He's been playing on the 4th line for most of the season but recently has been moved up to the 1st line with Stutzle for 4 or 5 games now, and he hasn't looked out of place there, he has decent chemistry with Stutzle. so his TOI and shots will be going up, but the SH% will be going down.

 

[sr edler]

He would be leading or tied for the lead on 20 teams in the NHL.

Question is if he would have a big enough role on as many teams to pounce on the opportunity.

 

[NyQuil]

His most frequent linemates are Nick Cousins and Zack MacEwan by a large margin.

He's 9th on the team in terms of PP time.

He's only been on the 1st line for like 4 games. He's put up most of his goals in the 4th line and 2nd PP.

 

[Reality Czech]

He plays extremely well on AHL caliber teams

It was mildly funny the first time in the thread.

 

[StickShift]

Adam Gaudette leading the Sens in goal scoring reminds me of this John Tortorella quote about David Booth:

“I thought our best forward was David Booth—which is great for him—but not good for us.”​

 

[wetcoast]

Sure, but in the NHL he plays roughly 10 minutes per game and just a little on the power play.

I don't think anyone expected him to lead the Senators in goals a quarter into the season, with the likes of Stutzle and Tkachuk on the team playing twice as much.

His shooting percentage is through the roof, though, so it is what it is.

His comment went right over your head buddy.

The Sens are an AHL team.

TBH, it was also mildly funny the second time.
