The first goal, 2 on 1, was a lazy backcheck. But Pickard didn't even have proper goalie form to get across. Terrible goal from all involved, except Bouchard. I'm not a fan of laying down, but in that instance he delayed the pass long enough that McDavid SHOULD have been able to pick up his man.

Definitely noticing that the "cheating" is in overdrive when McDavid's line has been with our 1st pair lately. Even Ekholm hasn't been his usual reliable self this year. That 5 man combo has given up a lot of goals lately, and almost every instance you have guys cheating hard or just being lazy defensively.
The rest of the lineup seems to be playing more and more steady and reliable. Knob figuring the group out again it seems. But he has all his high talent guys doing their own thing still :) Maybe when the luck normalizes and goals start to come a little bit easier again these guys won't feel they have to cheat as much to have any chance for the team to score.
