Well, that's a BS penalty call.

McD gets beat bad on the 3rd goal, but the goalie needs to make that save.
|
Was pretty much a breakaway,
|
It was absolutely not a breakaway. McDavid was even with him 20 feet in front of the goal, but took a weak position and Kopitar just bullied him out of the way. McDavid doesn't have the luxury of size, he needs to get in better position to counteract that. That goal was more a McDavid issue than a Smith issue, but that being said, Smith needs to make the save.
|
McDavid didn't have any position on Kopitar. Kopitar jumped by him and shot it right away under Smith's arm. Not at all an easy save on a guy 7 feet out.
Kopitar had lots of options with that puck that Smith had to consider. The very quick shot under Smith's arm was a great play by Kopitar and he's gonna score there many times if you give him those chances.
The solution is simple, don't let elite players take wide open shots 7 feet from your goalie.
Maybe we're saying the same thing, aside from Smith's responsibility. I don't expect a goalie to make that save personally. At that range, if a shooter puts the puck fast into open space, it's going in. All the goalie can do is try to be big and pray.
Persson looked pretty clueless on that play too. Did not notice at all what was developing as he was coasting around the circle watching it all. Could have got to the net 1st. Ended up covering no one. So sick of Dustin Brown still scoring points against us...
