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.

Shots like that usually are a sure goal. The guy's got a shot like a cannon and he placed it perfectly (he didn't win the Norris last year based soley on his defensive play). The only chance MacD would have had would have been if he'd been 10' out of the net to cut down the angle... and then he would have gotten beat the other way (it was a powerplay after all.)
