Here’s a piping hot hockey opinion for you: good things generally do not happen when you give up three odd-man rushes in less than a minute.
Canucks give up two goals in under one minute to Rangers
Might want to cut down on those odd-man rushes, Vancouver.

The Vancouver Canucks are Exhibit A for that theory, as they fell behind 2-0 early to the New York Rangers thanks to a wacky sequence of plays.
It started when the Canucks’ defensemen got caught pinching, leading to a four-on-two opportunity for New York. Ryan McDonagh buried it for the goal.
On the very next play, the Rangers broke free for a three-on-two chance that the Canucks managed to stop. But they clearly hadn’t learned anything, because New York came right back on a two-on-one and made it 2-0.

Only 43 seconds passed during this whole sequence. The Canucks’ Twitter account said what we all were thinking.
