The Johnny Gaudreau Conundrum: There Isn’t One

Let’s be open and transparent: I love Johnny Gaudreau. I always have. From the first time I saw him skate at Boston College to him scoring his first NHL goal during his first NHL game.

Let’s also be open and transparent: I’ve also been critical of his play and questioned whether he was motivated or liked playing in Calgary.

(Psssst. It’s ok to be both)

I wanted to get both of those things out of the way so it couldn’t be said that I did or didn’t say things both good or positive about Calgary’s most dynamic offensive player in years.
