Can't blame Hayes. He was anticipating Skeij would make a routine pass and was looking forward to getting down the ice (i.e. joining a rush in the making). Nineteen times out of twenty, a pass is made and the players roll down this ice. No way can you blame that one on Hayes.
eh I'm not a huge fan of leaving one D man with pressure on him as the only guy back. I'm crazy but I would have preferred Hayes stayed back until McDonagh recovered position. Even if Skjei didn't flub the pass, what if it was picked off, or the player who received the pass then got it taken away and he hits Eberle who's cherry picking the Rangers blueline and so on and so on.
Would have just preferred someone was back covering until McDonagh was there.
That said, don't flub a pass if you can help it...
