I guess goalies are supposed to be always ready and prepared for shots against, but I think Blackwood wasn’t expecting a shot there, because Manson had his guy and usually those plays don’t lead to shots on net, they get stick checked and deflected wide or high
Manson deflected the shot. It was going up, Blackwood read it off the stick, Manson deflected it right back down and centrally through the five hole.
Look at Blackwood’s initial reaction. Right leg up off the ice and reading it going blocker side. Deflected and went through his open five hole.
