Watch the 1st goal, pausing frame by frame. Hill is tracking the puck just fine, but was probably shocked that a nothing special pass went through 3 of his defenders for a quality shot against:
It's worth doing a detailed breakdown of the first goal bc it's so, so strange, agree with Foggy that it's completely Hill's fault (you'll see why below). Agree with everyone that the 2nd and 3rd goals were not Hill's fault at all, and again for the record I do like Hill but once a game he does something like this and I honestly can't understand how or why. The play from Hill's viewpoint starts at 0:36 but the entire thing is less than a minute.
1)
A play like this is very common -- pass from the half wall to someone in a better shooting position (in this case from the top of the circle). We all know plays like this happen 10 times per period and have seen 1000s of them
2) Hill is tracking the puck well with his eyes, there's no screen in front. So
he sees the entire play develop and any goalie would expect a shot in this situation
3) In goalie school, they tell you to get square to the shooter and ideally be in the butterfly
before the shot is taken, that way among other things there's no five hole for the shot to get through. In reality it doesn't work this way for multiple reasons (happy to discuss further) but the idea is that saves are much easier when you're already set (i.e., most vulnerable to goals against when you're moving). If you look starting at 8 seconds or so, you can see Hill going down and getting up while he's reading the play, basically if he thinks a shot will come he wants to already be set for it, but if he sees a pass he need to be on his feet to push of to wherever the shot is coming from and get set there. All goalies do this, now you know why
3b) To follow on from this point, in reality oftentimes the goalie gets in his butterfly
as the shot is taken, that's one of the reasons we see so many 5 hole goals. On this goal, starting at ~0:36 you can see
Hill's a half second late and still getting into the butterfly while the shot is already on its way toward him, therefore he gives himself no chance to make the save. Not only that, he's too deep in his crease and his angle is off so there's less of a chance the puck randomly hits him (xx pointed out correctly this is how most goalies make most saves, no reason for his angle to be off either because this is a normal play). If you freeze frame it, you can see the shot's not even well placed,
if he was on his angle at the top of the crease it would've just hit his chest and been covered up.
So, basically it's a really really bad read and it cost us a goal... what's weird is that this is the second play I've seen him make like this in only a handful of games. At this level you never see reads this bad -- the only other time I can remember seeing something similar is the VAN / BOS stanley cup final between Luongo and Thomas (the pumping tires one), where Luongo was terrible for entire games at a time.
But yeah -- Hill's a great goalie 95% of the time, but every once in a while he does something totally boneheaded like this, hard to make sense of because a read like this wouldn't be ok in the AHL or even a good college program
