How was Lack in the time he played?
He didn't make enough saves tonight. Simple as that.
Goal 1 - unlucky bounce. Hamonic was god-knows-where, Jankowski got a bit cute near his blue, 2-on-1, Brodie played the pass but it bounced off him.
Goal 2 - Nyquist snipe glove side in the slot. It'd have been a great save but he didn't make a save.
Goal 3 - Made a good first save. I'd have liked to see him make the second one on the rebound mid-air. Or control the rebound first.
Goal 4 -Larkin snipes on him, but he was down way too early.
Goal 5 - Redirect over top his shoulder. He should still want it back. If that were Ortio, certain guys here would be making up stories about him "flinching" and therefore not being an NHLer
Except Joni Ortio would probably have pitched a shutout tonight. Smith definitely would have. That game was lost due to goaltending being markedly below average. Was it Hiller / 2nd Half Johnson / Playoffs Elliott level
terrible? No, but it was just bad enough to snowball into a loss.
