That mug shot of Gauthier is still a classic. I'm guessing ol Gabe drained a few suds the night before.......

I want to know if he goes to bed the night before with extra mousse in his hair or if its "natural."

Gabe played about 7 minutes last night centering the 4th lines, 1 give away and won 3 of 4 shoout outs. Lets hope he gets some better opportunities as time goes on
