Personally i'd prefer if the other teams offensive players are not able to utterly blow past out inept defensemen who shakily stick check instead of simply taking the body out. He tried to take the puck, he lost, Nash embarrasses Miller.
What did he do RIGHT on the first goal?
No D-man was stopping Nash there, not how it went down.
The breakout pass came from the defensive zone, one touch pass off the stick of Stepan at center ice and to Nash, when Myers tried to get it from mid air he missed and that screwed his backwards momentum up. If Myers hadn't tried to get the puck from midair he might have been able to catch Nash later. Basically Nash had him beat once he got the puck at the blueline and Myers wasn't near close enough to Nash to hit him when he was in close with Miller.
I don't blame anyone on that goal, it was a great breakout play and pass from Stepan. Plus Nash has done stuff like that his entire career, even had Myers been able to hit him, Nash has been able to score with people taking him out.
The only way to make that play possibly stoppable is to not go for the puck when it gets off of Stepan's stick, and if that puck wasn't bouncing, Myers most likely would have got it.
It's all in the past now, we need offense, and Myer's and our D has been playing way better.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
