I'm trying to figure out what Dougie was doing there. Sure, there was one player away from the blue line along the boards, but it actually looked like Dougie was worried the boards themselves were going to go around him for a scoring chance. That left one of the biggest openings I've ever seen a defenseman give up the middle to the net.
And to be fair, Slavin with a pretty poor defensive play there as well by overcommitting at the puck and letting the man go by. That was the most surprising part of that video since Slavin is normally a pretty good player.
