I think when your team (C’s in particular) are prone to letting guys have wide open looks from the top of the crease, it doesn’t really matter what average goalie is in your net. Those chances are going to end up buried more often than not.
This one is funny and a perfect example of how certain players not playing their position can mess up the whole system. That’s Draisaitl lazily reaching in because he didn’t track Verhaeghe back to the net from the high slot like he’s supposed to, instead hanging around too high for too long, hoping that a low percentage play would materialize allowing the Oilers a possible odd man rush.
The funny thing about it all is that Foegele is so used to that bad habit from Draisaitl that he actually abandons his own defensive job because he recognizes the danger and attempts to get to Verhaege before the puck does, he couldn’t get there but he actually was closer then Draisaitl, who’s job that was. Either way, Draisaitl failing to do his job results in Foegele being pulled out of position trying to cover and thus 2/5 oilers out of position and running around. Even is Verhaeghe doesn’t convert the system has collapsed and it’s only a matter of time until another high danger chance or two are generated because of the break down.
Plays like this happen pretty consistently when our top 6 is out there.
