I was SURE the announcers mentioned “Hogden”.
But that was great analysis. I just can’t imagine the amount of information you have to process in such a short time. Carter wins the draw, has basically just enough time to survey the ice, and by that time, Hodgson beat him to the net. When Carter tries to recover, he was already beaten by 2 steps, and it was over.

wow
great analysis! especially for someone who’s never played a full game of hockey.
it’s mind-boggling that you need lots of chances to score a goal. this seems like a good scoring chance, but still only goes in once every, what, 4 or 5 times? hodgson easily could have tipped it into mason or out of play. so there are lots and lots of minor mistakes that happen through the course of a game and the team that capitalizes on more of them will score more goals. some of the mistakes are induced (think sedins confusing the heck out of the opposition), and some, like this one, are simple blown coverages.
in a way, goalies “losing sight of puck” isn’t that much bigger of a mistake as “carter losing hodgson” but it’s so much more visible.
