Nah, even last night wasn't 100% on him. First goal - breakaway to Tkachuk from the blue line in with no pressure. 2nd and 3rd goal - no puck retrieval, no net clearing, no passes stopped, like they'd been doing all game. He dropped a rebound in tight on a tough shot. That happens and it's on him, but Batherson wasn't tied up and they should have even been in the zone anyway. Third goal was a really well executed play.
OT goal, now THAT was 100% on him. Outside shot with no pass option and he was still moving into postion.
