I really HATE Connor Murphy's pathetic efforts at defense. The guy is awful. His running around the D-Zone leaves Zuccarello wide open weak side for his 2nd goal of the game...a PPG. 'Hawks down 3-0 after 2 periods. Kaprizov poked one in earlier in the period. Mrazek had made a flopping stop, but, failed to cover.
I hadn't really paid much attention to Mrazek's earlier career, but, his hyper style of over committing just is a bad match for the 'Hawks' inability to cover guys without the puck. Too many wide open guys with an over-committed Mrazek losing his goal.
