I had entirely forgotten about this moment, but as soon as I got into it I knew what was coming. Like most others, all I remembered about this moment was Ty Conklin. I didn't even remember Jason Smith was there, and I certainly didn't remember that the fault for this calamity was mainly his!
Things like this are what sports desperately need. Ruthless attacks on 'path of least resistance' narratives that develop simply because people don't want to think very hard about things. 'Bad goaltender bad' is such an easy thought process that most people likely didn't even watch the play back a second time to see what actually happened. They've just been blaming Ty Conklin for the last 20 years. Things like this make me wonder how many other narratives out there are just lazy half-baked things said by people who didn't want to think very hard.
Another fantastic one in your rear view buddy!
