He's supposed to rotate down the half-wall and prevent easy puck movement between the half wall and the point, not just stand nearish the point and cover a man.
It's a ####-show shift prior to that, but he's part of that as well.
It's not the worst defensive effort I've ever seen, but it's a lazy play. He's supposed to rotate onto Fowler but doesn't, but he's also not near enough the point to attack the defender if the play goes that way.
He's in the way more than anything, not taking anyone, not skating, not reading the play.
