That is ludicrous.
Subban got 100% of that puck, it was an absolute rocket. No goalie in the NHL saves that shot. The only hope is that it hits you, and on that, he wasn't very far out in the net. However, I don't think he can be criticized for that because they were moving the puck around on the PP and he couldn't over-commit.
MacDonald was fantastic last night. Accept it and let it go.

The shot was from at least 30' out, wasn't screened or tipped, and MacDonald was like 6" off the goal line. Most goalies would have saved that, or would have been in a position to save it. If shots like that were a sure goal, we'd see a lot higher scores in the NHL.
It was a powerplay, but it's not like they had him working hard at the moment.
He did make a couple of career saves in the game though, so the usual fluffy goals are forgivable.
