Luckiest player in the NHL. Any other organization would have him on a 2-way contract and playing in the AHL. Here he gets a multi-year, 1-way contract, gets to wear the A, and is made one of the face of the team by Eugene.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

For once in the dudes life, the open ice hit would have been the right play but he just let's the Olympian/Cup winner walk in. Puzzling decision.

 

[krapsik]

Lets face it, this should be routine save for NHL goalie.

Half ice breakaways are routine?

He had a bad game...not a big deal. He's better than that. Although that play was a headscratcher.

It wasn't even his worst play. There was one in the second where he stole the puck off Tierny along the boards and passed it straight on the tape to a Blackhawk at the point.

 

[Cheapseats]

Bad play but if 41 really wants a trade he should start making these saves. I agree that Boro is the luckiest player in the NHL. Super nice local kid but this pressure is going to be hard on him

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Reminds me of that Phillips play.

Anyone have that photoshop with the ghost?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

this is something cowen used to do except for extreme.. if a two on one was developing we would take the pass but he would start that at the blueline.. so it would just end up being a breakaway

well toews did make the very weird decision to just flick the puck on net

 

[NyQuil]

I still don't think this play is too bad. It's still a 2 on 1 of sorts.

If Toews does a drop pass Boro has him covered.

Andy should have come right out.

There were worse plays from the Ceci-Boro pairing in the game.

why would toews ever drop it after being given that much room lmao.

Spezza would.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Anderson's position is equally problematic. His angle is way too far left. It's as if Toews is on the edge of the face-off circle instead of the middle of it.

 

[Alex1234]

Im going to defend Anderson here (wich is rare) but he is so bad at wraparounds that he doesnt commit fully to the shot here because of it
Toews just flicks it and the puck find a way

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

The Ceci-Boro pairing lost us that game last night.

Is there a worst pairing in the NHL than this?

I love how everyone is worried about the young defense where majority of the mistakes came from the two most experienced ones.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Shades of Phillips playing that 2 on 1 against some player and Casper

Must have seen a replay huh?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No man's land ... I have no idea why he gave him so much ice. If he is over It cuts down on Toews options , which were many.

Is he leaning on his stick there? two hands on it ,,, not even his stick is challenging Toews

 

[NyQuil]

Maybe he thought the ref was a Hawk.

That goal could have been prevented by many players

- Maybe Ceci should have made the safe play and put it behind Chicago net but you also have to take chances towards the net if you want to score. Unfortunately, unlucky bounce and it goes the other way.

- White doesn't recognize the situation fast enough. As soon as Ceci went towards the puck/net, he should have retreated to the right point instead of moving towards the net, that creates the 2 on 1. A bit of a rookie mistake.

- Borowiecki played it badly. He's way out of his league against players like Toews. Maybe he was impressed or something but was he shy to confront Toews? You have to close the gap there, the other Hawks player was too far for a 2 on 1 pass and you had 2 Sens players hustling back to close that option. Boro simply gave too much time and space to a good/great NHL player.

- Andy didn't play his angle well. He should have been slightly towards his right. If he did that and came out just a little to cut the angle even more, he might have saved it. Since Boro "had the pass covered" lol, it looks like Andy wasn't 100% committed to the shot. That being said, it was a grade A chance, not necessarily an easy shot to stop.

I'd put the blame mostly on Borowiecki and White second.

White should have covered but Ceci bobbled the puck as well
