On the second one he was going to bat the puck away with his blocker towards the neutral zone but then the deflection happened and his momentum pulled him away and he was unable to get back in time. Sure, had he not tried to do that he might have been able to stop it but there's no guarantee it doesn't sneak through anyway.
Again, it's easy to say he should have did something different on a replay but in real-time it's not so easy to read deflections. In the end it shouldn't have mattered because the team's response should have been a lot better than it was.

True, I can certainly understand that, I like this take on it. At game speed it's not always an easy read, and the team could have responded better and capitalized on their chances.
I feel like the slow motion replays make it look worse for sure...
