Pure961089 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) It was back in 22-23 in the game vs the Capitals where Petey finally turned the corner and turned his career around.

Stay tuned to this or another station.. Is it just me or do other fans feel that Petey appears disconnected? Not even sure what I am trying to say. I thought the joint media moment with him and Hughes bares this out. Hughes was engaged while Petey was not. He had almost no opinion on Lindholm? Very glad that Hughes was named captain.

IMHAO Petey is not a talker. He’s one of those very carefully spoken people. Like a prairie farmer. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Petey's assist moves him into 15th in all-time Canuck scoring. 13 Ryan Kesler C 655 182 211 393 14 Brendan Morrison C 543 136 257 393 15 Elias Pettersson C 375 163 225 388 16 Andre Boudrias LW 458 121 267 388 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Here's an interesting question: If Pettersson leaves after this year and doesn't sign an extension, does he get into the ROH with say 425 points in about 400 games? My vote would be no. Not a long enough tenure despite his excellence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, otherwise I agree that it would be too few games played as a Canucks and he doesn't have anything extra to justify it like being Captain for example. 425 points would actually have Petey just barely leapfrog Horvat into the top 10 in franchise scoring, but he would also only be 40th in games played.

If Petey doesn't resign with a home town discount he should be banned from the NHL and play his days out in the SHL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young to watch him play, but Horvat's legacy seems eerily similar to Don Lever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Horvat is a little to shy of longevity/excellence to get in. Another two years and I would've maybe said yes to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's to grab some huge overpayment people might be relieved, particularly if we got a good trade deal back. Messier is our Everest of douchiness, no one can climb it for the first time again. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if we make some noise in this years playoffs. How many games did Lu play? or Bure? I know, special talents.... but both around 450 games as Canucks.

Goalie obviously play fewer games than skaters, but Bure had 428 games--only a little more than Petey right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure stats 428 games and 478 points = 1.12 points per game Petey stats 375 games and 388 points = 1.03 points per game At the moment he is scoring at 1.30 points per game rate At the end of the season (not counting play offs games) it will be 405 games and 430 points = 1.06 points per game average... (which is incredible baring in mind he is just entering his prime)... On a side note, If we do well in the play offs, he may actually end up very close to Bures games played. On another note, JT Miller is on a 1.10 points per game as a Canuck... amazing stats really. Those 3 are the only players in Canucks history to be above 1 point per game having played a decent amount of games... Thus I think there is an argument for Petey to eventually be in the ROH, even if he leaves in the off season (which I obviously hope isn't the case).

When Bure came in, he was the first superstar we had, so I think his impact was bigger solely for that reason, but there's a case to be made that Petey might actually be the better player, especially when you factor in his defensive acuity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why they all love McD in Edmonton... different era, yes, but when he goes, he goes... In the end its all about being entertained.

Bure was a true superstar. Pavel was like what McDavid is now. People might disagree with that, but Pavel played during an era that allowed a lot of hooking, holding and mugging. If Pavel played in today's game, he would be even better than he was back in the 90s. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
