I am not exposed

I don't agree that Huby's shot is terrible (and this is the reason why it is frustrating that he didn't use it in this situation).
Just watch some of his last goals of last season. He will not drill pucks top corner of the top of the faceoff dots. But in close he can really place it.
If Barkov had burried it, everybody would have said "what a fabulous pass". If Huby had shot and not scored, everyone would have been let him hear.
Enough with the what ifs, they didn't score. Huby had 2 options, Barky had one, so if we explicitly want to blame someone (which I don't) it is on Barky because the pass was perfect
Which is what I was implying. Huberdeau made the right play. Barkov should have finished, but he fumbled. These things happen. Oh well, if we play like we did in the second and third periods for the rest of the season, we should be okay.
