TL;DR, the Canucks give up a lot of giveaways in their own zone (top 10 for most), but are one of the best non-giveaway teams in the league overall. But many of those giveaways are so egregious that it leads directly to goals more often than normal.
Relevant paragraph:
> Really, though, it’s the results that matter. There’s no stat for “giveaways leading directly to goals against” available to the public. But we’d suspect that, if there were, the Canucks would rank pretty close to the lead in that category.
The real TL;DR, Canucks hockey is happening.
