Hopefully Rasmus was communicating with him and telling him he had the easy reverse. If Rasmus wasn't communicating, then it's a defensive unit failure, and if he was, it was a Hanifin individual failure.
Hanifin played well in game 1, especially after Rasmus got tossed, but he's had a knack for wilting when the spotlight shines bright. He makes some truly baffling decisions when he has so too much time, and his bad choices can snowball, like they did for a stretch last night. His play against Colorado in 2019 still gives me flashbacks. Hopefully he can pick it up the rest of the series/playoffs.
