Not that it's not good, but I do wonder how many of those are against playoff teams.

 

That's fair. Nor does it excuse some of his lackluster play at times. Tonight, they almost looked like a team that had flu going through them.

You do wonder right?  They looked so out of it tonight... almost every single one of them.

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.

All that hugging at ASG brought it to the team.

It’s body language at times and why is it such a struggle for him to sign with a team that is throwing money at you and has shown they want you. Something feels off is all.

He seems to be disconnected… imho

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.

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.

Also hard to blame a single player when the majority of the team had an off night.

2019-2020 Playoffs, Petey scored 7 goals and 11 assists for 18 points in 17 games. I think you have a short memory, and an axe to grind.

Selective memory more like it
