Last I checked, giving a breakaway was not a good thing.

And the Carolina Hurricanes in particular seems to just be handing them out like Halloween candy.

So it's not all on him where they're at.

But at the end of the day, you're allowed to stop the tough ones too.

Neither him nor Hart have.

And the difference between Carolina and Vegas is they got a guy on their bench.

See, the biggest question with Bussey was I thought he would play in the playoffs.

But I thought a lot sooner.

But they got through every round so fast.

I thought we were going to see – I'm actually willing to bet that if the gap between game two and game three in round one against Ottawa wasn't a two-day break, that you might have seen Bussie in game three because game two went to double overtime and you could see fatigue in Anderson's game.

Like you could see it plain as day.

You could see the movement patterns get sloppy.

And I thought maybe are we seeing that a little bit right now?

when part of this is what vegas does they're working the canes behind the net off the cycle they're forcing you know in that in that man defense they're forcing him to turn around and find guys and they're forcing freddie anderson to go in and out of his post and you look at uh the i think it was the first goal was on a low high pass out into the slot and hey like that's a high danger play it crosses the middle of the ice um it's from behind the net but if you look at how he loads

He misses his spot.

So when you're popping into your post, your preference is to sort of get the bottom edge of the pad and the toe of the skate up against the post, what we call the toe box.

And he misses it.

And he ends up with the shin of his pad on the post, which is sort of an old two carass thing.

It takes a little wear and tear off the body, but it leaves you with less coverage and it leaves you less mobile.

And so as that pass comes out, his chances of making that save off that pop pass into the middle decreased significantly because he missed his spot.
