nope Boyle wasn't even close to the pass and Pysyk is supposed to take the guy backdoor but he's late
Boyle was late to block pass and brown was already on that side. Yandle job is weak
Side coverage. Period. Q has stated and emphasized this all year. That’s just reality

The puck is just getting to the Canuck infront of the net here. Boyle isn't even close to him because he's taking away the passing lane to #26 in the middle.

ALso you can see Yandle is all alone with the guy infront while Pisser is clueless about Myers going for the backdoor.

Yandle takes absolutely no one and just stands there watching the puck.

Based only on that gif Yands should have cleared or tied up #88 Gaudette standing all alone in front, the backdoor guy #57 Tyler Myers came in very late into the frame. Does anyone have another angle?

these types of games don't make me feel warm and fuzzy. sure, it's fun to see the skill on breakaways and power plays. and you need that. and decent teams will get (need) some of these games during the season. but based on what i saw (and granted, i didn't watch much of the 3rd), it didn't appear we played terribly well. we were opportunistic but turnovers were up again. after 3-1, it didn't really feel like the panthers were forced to exert much effort 5v5.

these are the types of games that could just as easily go against us at this point, which tells you something about the team's identity and will right now.

unpopular opinion i'm sure but i preferred our game tuesday night.

Hmm this angle Myers looks a lot closer to the net than the gif

Well he's at the faceoff dot pretty much, Pisser is playing forward so he should have the defenseman, Myers in this case. Winger always takes the defenseman jumping up the play. Pisser is just clueless and horribly late.

Thought we played fairly well, and it started from the net. Bob was good when he had to be, especially early, and made a few key saves.

This is a good example of a game where we had plenty of time and space to make plays, and that’s when we’re dangerous. But in the games where it’s tight-checking, physical or a battle, we really struggle.

The play didn’t even result in a goal and yandle was able to stop any rebound chance by tying up the canucks player’s stick. If he is on top of Canucks player and puck gets to Myers it’s slam dunk. This is a good example of putting a player under the microscope when it’s not necessary
