He just got burned on a read. He saw Drai with it on the half wall, and turned up to take away the pass to the point. Obviously he didn't know McDavid had found some open ice in the slot behind him. McDavid getting open was the real breakdown on that play. Once Drai saw him, he was going to make that pass whether Johnny closed on him or not.

The guy had one of the greatest 5v5 regular seasons of all time, lead the league in +/- and even had 11 more 5v5 points in 12 playoff games. He didn't mail it in. If McDavid had proper coverage, that puck likely goes up to the point and Johnny looks like his usual genius self.
