Was hoping he's do the triple deke (forehand, backhand, forehand) or a quick fade-away wrister.
We have to be better in the 2nd. Not enough urgency in our game.
You're missing the point. Holtby didn't read what Nash was doing. It's why his legs were so far apart and why he barely got the paddle down in time. I'll argue whatever I want since it's what Nash saw, too (and why he didn't go high with the puck).
Some of y'all are talking as if the games over...have faith in your team...
The team that scores first is like a bajillion-2 all time in game 7's.
Somehow this will all be because of Boyle and Nash and they're 2 of exactly 3 guys to not **** all over the ice that period, the other one being Hank.
Newsflash: When moving laterally and reacting to a deke, a goalies legs will be further apart. Unless you're a fictitious cartoon cartoon like Gumby.
It was a good save, but thats not my point. Nash chose a move with a low probability of the puck going in. Many things have to go right for that move to work.
I would have much rather seen him try to snipe one blocker side, where Holtby is much weaker than his glove side. Those shots are much harder to stop because you have much less reaction time and with him backing up into the crease, much more net is openly available to shoot at.
Hank can't get it done when it matters
