Didn't Tavares just destroy the Panthers in the playoffs last year? Where was Ekblad then? Being a top 5 dman against 2nd liners?
He played against him plenty, and did a good job against him, but Gallant also tried to match Gudbranson up against Tavares a lot in order to free Ekblad up to create offense and not defend the entire time. The strategy didn't work. That's not on Ekblad.
