Yes. Saw Rasmus do the same thing, can't remember what game it was, a couple weeks ago. Got the puck below his own blueline, had no one for a mile, and instead of taking off, he pushed it up to a guy standing still at the redline, who was immediately hit and the puck turned over.

It's a system thing, and it's total crap.
