Nor does it excuse some of his lackluster play at times. Tonight, they almost looked like a team that had flu going through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 9 minutes ago, JayDangles said: He's really streaky. For the first 1/3 of this season he looked really bad. Was putting up points but he wasn't really noticeable. Lots of folks saying he must be injured. Then after Xmas he went on a beauty run for a couple weeks and he looked like his old self. It's tough because the stats say that he is an elite player, but the eye test tells a different story most games. I felt that way about Naslund though. Petes a guy who often seems to find a way.

Popular Post Curmudgeon Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 10 minutes ago, HKSR said: It wouldn't surprise me if he's traded. But it also wouldn't surprise me if he's re-signed. I'd be fine with it either way. Hughes is the alpha on this team. I'd pay him whatever he wants. The thing is, how can Petey command even $10M when JT is making $8M AND has been leading Petey in the scoring race all season. In management's minds, why would Petey be worth any more than JT? I wouldn't be surprised if PA/JR have gauged interest in Petey if he were made available in a trade. Or what they might do if some fool wants to sign Petey to an offer sheet. All I know is even though he has impressive numbers, something is missing in his game and I can't really say what, only that he seems to have lost the swagger that made him so daring in his first years in the league. And, imho, PA/JR wouldn't bat an eye if they decided they couldn't give Petey what he wants, if he wants. Especially if Petey files for arbitration, which would absolutely mark the beginning of the end of Petey's time in Vancouver, one way or another. 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Buzzsaw- Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) 43 minutes ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: He has had no shots in the last two games. lol. Zero. NADA. So what is he doing? Well he’s allowing goals while he is on the ice. -4 tonight. You can’t defend him. Zero effort tonight. You are so full of sh*t its coming out your mouth. I already pointed out the two short handed goals were not his fault... but I will explain again for those like you who can't use your eyes. 1st Goal: Giveaway by Demko and then the players who should have prevented Coyle from feeding the puck out front were Lindholm and Hughes, and the guy supposed to be covering Marchand was Miller. 2nd Goal: Giveaway by Miller... Heinen was already in motion when he got the pass... but still Pettersson caught him, reached and made the defensive play and hit Heinen's stick... was unlucky the puck bounced back to the Bruins player and he was able to shoot. 3rd Goal: Pettersson at the point covered his man Paternak, his hard blast deflected off Pettersson's stick and was going wide... but then the puck deflected off Cole, Demko made the save... but then Myers cleverly kicked the rebound in. Nothing to do with Pettersson. 4th Goal: Here's one which at first look may seem like Pettersson was at fault, but a closer examination shows the bad play started in the Bruins zone... Left Canuck D Cole gambled and pinched in the Bruins zone for the ring around, but missed the puck... which was upped by Pasernak to Van Riemsdyk... who broke out... but Pettersson, who had fallen back to cover for Cole, forced him off to the boards where Myers should have been able to take him out. But no one was covering Zacha coming up the middle... that responsibility was either Lindholm or MIkheyev... both did not come back. Pettersson saw what was happening, tried to move to the middle to cut Zacha off but he was too far away and the pass from Van Riemsdyk was perfect.

Popular Post BC_Hawk Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 30 minutes ago, Rip The Mesh said: Great presser….no excuses. Though this is our first regulation loss in awhile, you could tell he was pissed at the effort. As he said, you might be off sometimes, but ya gotta stay in the game and skate ur ass off. It’s not okay to just float bc it’s not ur night. Our top 2 lines floated tonight, and it’s not alright. A lose with good effort isnt the end of the world. Losing bc u aren’t working is pathetic. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Buzzsaw- Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 And further re. Pettersson. He put multiple passes on the sticks of Canucks in the game... including a gimme to Zadorov in the slot... who shot it over the net. He also had an assist in the Carolina game and was making plays all night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
