He slid down to cover his D who tried to block the shot. Almost looked like he was getting into block position himself, I don’t think he was expecting them kid to assume he was going to be allowed an easy empty net goal. This isn’t supposed to be victim blaming at all… but man. Opponents get fired up when they’re losing, and if you want to avoid a rage driven injury you gotta look out for yourself.

The alternate angles provided make more sense as he’s kind of in Sillingers blind spot. But he still looked like he wasn’t expecting any D coverage…
