It looked to me that Mcdummy tried to cut in behind Tanev to avoid contact, got tangled up, and flew into the goalie. It's a reckless play.
Dmen are getting faster and faster every year, and one of these days the off side dman is going to anticipate this move, and take his head off. Tears will be shed, oiler fans will pull out their pitchforks, but at the end of the day it's Mcdavid putting himself into a vulnerable position that has already produced 2 serious injuries for him.
Too bad Hextall wasn't still around. It would also be pretty funny to watch a goalie abandon the save in favour of putting his shoulder into his face, because that's the last thing he's expecting when he's cutting like that.
