Mike Green interferes with his man, Jeffrey, and then leaves him to go block the lane. Great...but this leaves Jeffrey completely open to one-time that shit past...who's that in net? Holtby?
Clearly Ovi is coasting into his zone on that one but to be fair, so are the two Stars d-men and there are already three Caps in the defensive zone. A fourth, Grabbo, looks to have a better angle to d-up Whitney but he's coasting even slower than Ovi and does dick all the entire play. At least Ovi tries to hook the Wizard a little.
I've thought Ovechkin is a defensive liability since forever but c'mon...that was bullshit by the entire team. What the fuck kind of defence was that?
