Tyler Myers smokes teammate Elias Pettersson, Lightning score because of his dumb mistake

Fresh off his trade to the Vancouver Canucks from the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier this week, defenseman Mark Friedman is doing all he can to endear himself to his new teammates. 

Friedman dropped the gloves with Tampa Bay Lightning forward Tanner Jeannot in the 2nd period of tonight's game and... well... let's just say it doesn't go according to plan.

Check out Jeannot absolutely dummying Friedman in a very one-sided tilt:

Credit to the blueliner for standing in there and eating fists, but the Canucks fell apart almost immediately after this fight. The Canucks were holding a 2-1 lead and ended up losing 4-3 after surrendering three straight goals.

The absolute low point of the evening for the Canucks though has to come courtesy of whipping boy Tyler Myers. Check out Myers absolutely blindsiding teammate Elias Pettersson, enabling the Lightning to walk right in and score an easy goal.

What are you DOING!?!?

Why does Myers, who is nicknamed 'Chaos Giraffe' by Canucks faithful in reference both his freakish height and his penchant for his off-the rails defensive play, decide to leave his position to enter a three man cluster in the first place? You know that puck is going to come out and catch you by surprise if you're not poised and ready. If you're going to enter the scrum at least get a piece of the puck carrier, which I guess is what he did... the problem though is that the puck carrier was his own teammate. Good grief...
