You're missing that when McDavid does this, it's usually during a quick transition attack, he's skating super fast and the goalie is off balance and is looking for a potential cross-crease pass.

That Reinhart goal (go look at the highlight of it) involved ONLY Reinhart in the zone, with all the Oilers players in good positions, the shot coming from almost the goal line... no pressure or speed at all...... and Skinner just completely forgetting to properly cover the post and watch for the puck (and deflecting it into his net with his mask). It was a nice shot by Sam, no doubt, but the chance of that shot going in against an NHL calibre goalie should be almost non-existent.

That goal is 99% Skinner not being alert and too lackadaisical, the same way he is behind the net while playing the puck. Way too loose and takes too long to make a play, and he and the team pay for it.

He needs to be better.
