Alexander Wennberg Just Took Kevin Shattenkirk And The Entire Tampa Bay Lightning Organization Out For A Walk
Oh my. Alexander Wennberg. You saucy, saucy dog. This was nasty.
We see guys like Ovechkin pull this move off about once a year. But when Ovi does it, he pulls it through his legs on his forehand and then leads the puck straight back to his stick on the other side. But Wennberg pauses on the forehand, pulls it through his legs on the backhand, and then kicks it back in front of him for the in tight finish on Vasilevskiy. That was dirty.
And listen. I'm not an expert. Never claimed to be. But if you're down by 1 in the 3rd period of a playoff game, I'd suggest that you don't get scored against 1v3 while the other 4 players in white are all going off for a line change.
Just doesn't seem like an ideal game plan to me. I could be wrong though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
