NHL analyst and former NHL defender Kevin Bieksa dismantled the Montreal Canadiens Center Christian Dvorak for his loss of play leading to a crucial power game from Washington Captain Alex Ovechkin.
During the first intermission of match 6 between the capital of the Montreal and Washington Canadians, Bieksa underlined how Dvorak lost a game that led to the total of the Ovechkin game.
Bieksa said:
“This objective, out of a thousand on play, is avoidable … It’s quite simple. Back back to him (Ovechkin) and he will draw that as hard as possible.”
The set game allows Ovechkin to get a single shooter, leaving the clothes with little or no time to react to the shooting. Bieksa added:
“Now, the way you defend it is that Anderson has to go out on this path. Anderson needs one to two seconds to get into this path, which means that the Centerman cannot lose the draw. 50/50, lost after a scrum, whatever you have.
Of course, Dvorak lost the clean draw, the washer returned to Ovechkin and the shot whistled the Canadian goalkeeper Jakub Dobes.
Bieksa concluded its reflections by highlighting another room in which the Center Habs won the draw properly sheltered, canceling Ovechkin’s shooting. However, Bieksa was categorical about the need to plug in play in order to give the rest of the skaters on the ice enough to put themselves in position.
