Would have to see iso video of th full back check but Hughes would’ve been skating full speed. That said I would presume it wasn’t a disconnect controller type effort from McDavid, and any way you slice it, he is behind Makar and McKinnon if we are playing the blame game for that sequence.

He didn’t have to hold up at all. In fact it was dumb. 3-3 is about possession and he’s the fastest player on the planet. He doesnt need to float for a head start.
You’re right MacKinnon and Makar whiffed. I just have way more tolerance for players trying the right thing and failing than a guy who is wrong all over the ice. It was a brain dead shift and his team mates failed to bail him out.
