I still think it was the right call to go for the puck - the PK had just killed off the 5 on 3, the puck was sitting there, and you needed fresh legs on for a change. But he did so somewhat sluggishly while leaving the obvious part of the net open. Technical mistakes.

Watching it again a few times I can see what you are saying. I thought the leg got pushed back by Vermette's knee as he was going down in front of Johnson but it does have more of a "flick" (for lack of a better word) to the movement that could definitely have been reflex from trying to stretch out to cover it.
