Was Vladar supposed to stop the Kuznetsov shorty? Probably not. Was probably on the two skaters who allowed the breakaway.
Was the (Caps Dman with weird name) a soft goal? I don't think so. I think maybe it was saveable, but the guy had time and space to walk into a dangerous area and pick a spot that any coach would be irate about.
Was the Ovechkin goal from a bit too far out and too wide an angle? Yes. Was it Alex Ovechkin, though? Yes.
If we lose, maybe we can say Vladar should have been better. Just as Markstrom should have been better in games 1 and 2.
But right now Vladar has the team in a tie game on the road going into the third. Let's let the players tighten up their coverages, and also get back on the offensive. See if Vladar can make a save going forward.
