Oshie is a good defensive coverage player and physical. He could have easily muscled Ekblad off of the puck, gotten in the way of the shot or at the very least made it difficult of the rookie.
It's all a judgement call and hindsight makes it an easy call, I think with Florida pressing as hard as they were, it was just the wrong decision on this part - no matter the result.
Yeah I wasn't necessarily defending it, just explaining why he did it.
Whether he was right or wrong, I will say that I think Shattenkirk should have been more aware there.
Ekblad was great though. He's gonna be a stud.
