Bad defensive play

[nystromshairstylist]

Hi all. Not sure if this is the right forum, but I am trying to track down a play by a Ducks player during the regular season that just passed, where one of the Ducks forwards basically let an opposing player walk by them to score a goal, IIRC it was in OT.

The Ducks forward steps up in the slot and the other player makes a deke, walks around the Ducks player, and scores to win the game...does anyone remember this play?

Yah, I remember that as well SMH...

The play I'm thinking of was where the ducks forward was in the slot skating out against the opposing player skating straight towards the goalie, the other player dekes, and the ducks player flails half-heartedly at the player, who comes in and scores.

It wasn't Getzlaf against Toews was it? Getzlaf is great 5 on 5 but he's one of the worst 3 on 3 guys I've ever seen.

edit:

It was a different forward, maybe Rickell, Garbutt or Cogliano...my mind is going so cannot recall but it was just a textbook example of ovie zero effort defense. I recall the ducks announcers saying "yeah, well, he's a forward not a defensemen, but still that was kind of weak" or something to that effect.

Chicago x2
Arizona
Edmonton
New York Rangers
Toronto
Winnipeg

YES!!! Thanks for your help, though my senility is showing - it was Rickell dekeing the opponent (Dreisidl), not the other way around. The Oils player barely made an effort - not out of character for them:

This took a turn.

Rakell has silky smooth hands.

Also, NHL can stick their head up where the sun doesn't shine. "The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

When NHL players do something like that, all of the stupid mistakes as a d-man I've made in my beer league don't seem so bad. I've done as bad if not worse...

But I can laugh about it after the game if we won. Usually.

I remember a game where Scott Niedermayer, one of the best skaters in the history of the sport, was transitioning from forwards to backwards when someone passed him the puck. He stepped on the puck. He ate ****, and an opposing player got to the puck and scored.

I guess it's best just to laugh about it. Everyone makes mistakes, but some mistakes are at another level.

Yes but it's the oilers so we can continue to pour it on

I remember a half-assed defensive play by Rakell this past playoffs. He kinda "got caught" and didn't/couldn't slow the forward down enough to cover him.

 

[darkwingduck]

Getlaf's giveaway in OT and Rakell's goal in OT probably the high and lowlights of the season.

For those from countries with less freedom.

Davidson's reaction was pretty bad too. Not as bad as Draisaitl, but he also isn't a rookie forward.
