The whole sequence was bizarre.  Hubey and Kadri fighting for the puck with Z close by.  It squirts loose and Hubey turns to go on offense and Kadri follows the puck but doesn't get in the zone.  Z goes to cover the puck carrier because Pelletier is being left behind.  2 F out in space, the Flames bunched up on obne side of the ice and Z makes a bad read.  He went down like it was a 2 on 1 rush and he was blocking the pass, but wasn't watching the open player at all.

 

I don't know I have seen one side of the ice so vacant.  Not a single Flame in the zone on that side.  Two F were still at the blueline when the puck went in, but it was a 2 on 3.

 

This if fair. There were multiple breakdowns and in Z's defense Pelletier got beat very easily.

 

But still, it was a WTF are you doing type of play. I really dislike it when players hit the ice like that.

Reminds me of the starfish that Russell used to be famous for.

Yeah, that was the WTF was that, why was this guy behind me fully open look.

I think he was unsure about Markstom's ability to stop the shot.

He was committed to the shooter but then tried to stop the pass.

Not effective either way.

 

Ya I mean, the Flyers player wasn't going to score from the side boards.  Zadorov needs to stay on his man and let Markstrom handle the shot from the bad angle.
