What if the team got scored on anyway after a timeout? Do we then blame the timeout for causing the goal? Timeouts don't guarantee anything. It's not the team or even a line that caused the goal to be allowed, it was a single individual's mistake and that doesn't require a timeout to recover from.

Well not calling the timeout sure didn't help anything, did it?
Would it have killed him to call a time out? No.
Would it MAYBE have given Frolik a chance to recover from the biggest mistake of his career? Maybe. But maybe is better than doing nothing.
