Ok, McLeod, that was a horrid play at the end. Seriously, dude? 
|
That is on Ekholm. It's a little chip back and he just missed it. He had a great game, but that was a tough way to finish.
|
It was a bad idea for McLeod to make the pass, as there were 2 Blues players right along those boards waiting to intercept it. There wasn’t much Ekholm could have done to mitigate the boneheaded decision.
|
That's a pass you see all the time. The Blues players weren't close to Ekholm, they were 10 feet behind him, making a line change. It wasn't exactly a rocket either - just the kind of puck that Ekholm receives cleanly 99/100 times. He just misplayed it - I think because he basically glanced up at the wrong point in time.
It's actually a pretty risky line change by Schenn with the Oilers having just taken back possession of the puck, but it works out because of that little slip.
It's odd to me how so many fans will always try to pin the blame on a relatively few players - reading yesterday's thread, there's a few of you who want to call out every mistake from Draisaitl, Bouchard, McLeod - but players considered defensive stalwarts (or often fourth liners) are immune from this scrutiny. It shows some biases for sure.
Ekholm had a really good game. He made one mistake. It ended up in our net. That's not condemning the player, just like mistakes from McLeod or Bouchard don't define their game either. The Edmonton fan need to rag on certain guys, usually skilled players too, is something I'll just never understand.
