What did Green do on the second goal? From what I saw Schmidt left his man and Green tried to cover for him.
Pretty much. Schmidt also inexplicably just wiped out to top it all off.

Kuz with 7:34 ice time with grinders, will he ever get a chance to play with skilled forwards?

Brouwer is absolutely killing the 2nd line.
Schmidtt had his worst game of the season last night, not sure he has that spot locked down 100%. Don't like how small that bottom pairing is, but it's not like the Caps have a lot of options to add size in that spot.
And a $6 million defenseman playing protected minutes...
I will make it easy for you guys. Its at the 3:40 mark. Green stuck in no mans land not covering anyone. And the pass goes right by him for a tap in.
He's stuck in no man's land because a very settled 1v3 suddenly became a 2v1 when Schmidt made a complete hash of things blowing everyone's read up and Ward instead of taking his man, the late arriving defenseman, abandoned Barrie and went towards Landeskog instead. Green was put in an exceedingly bad spot by the misplay of two teammates there.
When your teammates don't do their job like that there is only so much you can do in that situation. Agreed you'd like to see him not let that pass through but that happens all the time in the NHL, especially when you are scrambling to try to cover up for your teammates mistakes.

I also think Beagle was absolutely juked out of his pants on that play as well.
And by God people, I'm not the biggest Brouwer fan, but why are you bashing him that hard? He brings experience and physicality to the 2nd line. He produces decently. You can always count on his shot. He doesn't literally kill the plays like Laich does. Yes, he isn't some superstar, we know it, but I can't understand why does everyone deny that the 90-65-20 line has been pretty good.
