<p>Calgary Flames forward @Johnny Gaudreau was mic&#8217;d up by Sportsnet while he participated in the accuracy shooting event at the 2022 NHL All-Star Skills Competition in Las Vegas.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After he missed his first shot in the event, Gaudreau managed to censor himself quicker than he can skate or handle the puck.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh fudge, I&#8217;m in one now, I&#8217;m in one now,&#8221; Gaudreau said sheepishly when his first shot sailed above its intended target. The 28-year-old forward also sent his second shot high, after which he briefly mixed up which passer he needed to look at to receive his next puck (&#8220;oh, wrong side,&#8221; he exclaimed).</p>
<p>Gaudreau recovered admirably after his back-to-back misses, hitting targets on each of his next three shots. Finally, after one last miss, Gaudreau smashed the bottom-right target to complete his four-for-seven attempt.</p>
