I play D and there is nothing more than I hate than Forwards not understanding the role of forecheck.

That whole play is caused by the 2 Rangers forwards. slide back to far instead of keeping the forecheck going, they back off as the Blues player hits center ice and fail to step up on Tarasenko.

A forward has to step up, preferably the right wing there, to force Tarasenko to the far side of the ice and deny the middle of the ice. By not stepping up and forechecking him to push him towards the boards, Tarasenko essentially has a 1-on-1 with the LD. The LD feels compelled to step up to force Tarasenko to the boards because the Forwards failed to but he completely underestimates Tarasenko and blows a tire. The RD panics and tries to over compensate, the RD in that position should bakc up immediately when the LD steps up, instead the RD foolishly lunges at Tarasneko letting him in on a mini-breakaway.

So much bad PK by the Rangers there

edit: I see why the RW didn't step up, you can see Tarasenko give a fake as he picks up the puck that Tarasenko will break towards the RW to beat him outside, just a slight deke to freeze the RW.
