I thought it was interesting last night in the GDT when everyone piled on Wolanin on what I think was the 4th goal. I haven't gone back to look back at it but there were some way bigger issues than Wolanin on how that play developed and I don't I saw even one person comment on it.
Most of the time when a goal is scored, it is the result of several things happening. This goal happened because :
- Leafs have their bench near the OZ for that period, they make a quick effective line change
- Wolanin doesn't realize Leafs are changing and a player gets behind him, which creates a 3-on-2
- Batherson and Gudbranson kinda cover the same player for some reason
- Gudbranson should have played the pass better so Hogberg could play the shot.
Wolanin certainly deserves some blame for not being more aware of his surroundings. He just seems a bit bad lucked though because every little mistake from him (or a teammate) ends up in the back of the net. I have seen him make a lot of good plays but he has been glorified negatively because of the goals against. Let's see if it balances out a bit more evenly through the season
