So, how bad have the Canucks been in the 2nd periods this season, since everyone keeps talking about it?
Let's break it down a little, and remember that these stats are only from the 2nd periods of Canucks games this season.
In their past 5 games:
-4 goals scored, 5 goals against
-42 shots on goal, 65 shots against
-5 power plays for, 13 power plays against
Record: 3 wins 2 losses
In the 5 games prior to that:
-4 goals scored, 0 goals against
-43 shots on goal, 48 shots against
-9 power plays for, 8 power plays against
Record: 3-2
In the 5 games prior to that:

In the 5 games prior to that:

And finally, the 4 games prior to that:

GRAND TOTAL:

-275 shots on goal, 300 shots against
-39 power play chances, 45 power plays against
-The Canucks were outshot in 15 of the 29 games played.
So what am I saying?
1. Statistically, the numbers don't show an atrocious failure in 2nd periods by the Canucks. But stats never tell the whole story. There is style of play and momentum plus stats that I left out that also come into play. I'd post them all, but I don't have that much time to spare. I just wanted to paint you a bit of a picture.
2. I have too much free fucking time on my hands and suffer from insomnia.
