Here's the video recap of the game.
The Yotes first goal had a lot of follies.
1. LaCombe didn't get the puck out deep enough, but still out of the zone.
2. Fowler fumbled the puck behind the net.
3. Our 4th line got lost on assignment that LaCombe left his guy to get the puck handler in the middle of the ice.
The Yotes 2nd goal was on McTavish. He was out there too long as the top line winger were on the ice. He didn't communicate with Fowler that he was going off and Fowler assumed Mac was sticking with Cooley. LaCombe had tagged the puck handler Moser (#90). Because Mac went in for a change, but also pushed Cooley forward into the Ducks Dzone, it created a 2v1 situation that LaCombe had to twist and quickly get on his horse to catch up to Cooley, but Cooley was already skating in a forward position and LaCombe was not.
Maybe Fowler should have paid more attention, but ultimately, Mac needed to communicate better or get off the ice earlier.
Third goal was a blatant missed cross-check on Gudas.
The team needs to work on defensive assignments b/c we've gotten lost a few times in this game. We play man and sometimes do a great job passing off assignments, but other times not so much.
Curious if Dostal gets an assist on the OT game winner in the morning b/c he did stop the puck, which Mac collected on his way to giving Terry the GWG hat trick.
