What does Kadri do? He shoots it at the net where both Ritchie and a defender are in front, hoping for a screen shot or a tip. The shot is blocked by that mass of humanity and the puck goes the other way. Huberdeau had an easy tap in if Kadri makes the right play.
This could be a factor of Kadri following the coach's game plan too, or it's just really poor awareness. Either way, this #### is simply not working.

That play was a tap in for Huberdeau. The passing lane was about 4 feet wide. Kadri took a 47 foot wrist shot into traffic. I laughed out loud.
