You know as much as everyone harps at this teams defence it's the forwards that need to do their job. Lazy back checking by Marleau on the first goal and Tavares with a brain fart on the PP that almost cost us again. Wow these are veterans that are making stupid mistakes.

That looked more like a pinch with all 3 forwards deep and unable to support. It's the forward's responsibility to cover it but it's the defenceman's responsibility to ensure that the forward can do so before committing.
 
Matthews is smooth.  Each shift, dangerous as the next. 

He will score again tonight.  Book it.

The D has to be aware of the forwards and their ability to cover before pinching. Again bad pinch by Zaitsev on the 1st goal.

Ya but watch the replay and look at Marleau. If he would have put his head down and skated back hard probably eliminated the 2 on 1.
