If we had to get scored on, this is the most okay one to go in for.

 

[lc9]

3rd period.  Up 2. Given up 2 breakaways.  That just can?t happen. 

2-1 game now.  Not doing Andersen any favors.

 

[azzurri63]

Holy f how many breakaways do you give up. Team is horrid defensively. No awareness of what?s going on around them. Got to improve their coverage.

 

[Kin]

A lot of players have the puck a lot. What?s your point?

That almost universally the best players in the league give the puck up the most. Right now by the NHL's official giveaway stat the top three forwards are Pastrnak, Barzal and McDavid.

 

[ZBBM]

Our D has deflated this period.

But Rielly is having a very good game.

Is the problem then that Nylander isn?t giving the puck away enough?

Nylander is ranked 222nd in the NHL in giveaways with 16 in 31 games. So maybe he does suck.

 

[lc9]

Breakaway number 3 of the 3rd period for the Canucks.  What is going on?

 

[ZBBM]

My God, 4 stone cold breakaways.

 

[Bender]

The hell is this team doing right now? Jeez. Play some team defense.

 

[azzurri63]

Doing their best to give this one away.  iCall a timeout and give it to them. Oh right can?t do that.
Seriously though I would call a timeout and calm these guys down.
Pathetic.

 

[ZBBM]

If not for Andersen this thing would be 5-2 Canucks.

How about 3 breakaways?

I don't go by those stats because they're sketchy at best. I remember an intermission where Poulin or Ferraro were talking about Gardiner giveaways, he had about 5 they showed yet only 1 was credited to him.
As for Nylander, guyst hat catyy the puck that much and make plays tend to give it away more.

 

[Guilt Trip]

JT ain't missing from there. His best game this year.

 

[ZBBM]

TUHHHHHHHHVAAAAAARRRRRRES

 

[lc9]

Tavares!!!  What a huge goal.  3-1 after the snipe.

 

[Kin]

Look, all I want is a team that scores early, scores a lot, doesn't take their foot off the gas in the third, doesn't allow the first goal, or late goals, or defensively collapse, or allow their opponent good chances in the 3rd period. Is that so much to ask?

 

[Bender]

JT!!!!

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
