Imagine a player getting 3 points in 11 minutes and being called average, or not playing up to his potential. So what exactly is Petey’s potential?  Does he need to get 5 points in one period to be called great?  How many average players get 3 points in 11 minutes?  
 

You see what you want to see. You are not being objective at all. Only a great pusher can get 3 points in 11 minutes of game time. 

Not at all. Points aren't what make Petey a great player. I'd take Petey at 75% of the points if he returned back to his Selke form. He hasn't been nearly as strong defensively this year, isn't possessing the puck as well and moving his skates to what he has been the previous 90% of his career.

 

When he plays with intensity he makes his line mates successful no matter what.

 

This year there's a reason why his linemates aren't nearly as successful. It's not all on them, he played a role in it too.

 

Petey can be Hoglander with elite talent. This year he's just elite talent without Hoglander's determination.

 

Love the player but he's regressing in effort level. Last year he was a top 5 forward in the game. Can't honestly make that claim this year with any honesty.

Dammit, Myers looked good there but gotta get back in front of the net.

 

That's the 2nd man's play.  If you know you pk dpartner is engaging elsewhere, you absolutely do not go puck chasing

68 points in 52 games. On pace for 107 points. Only once all season has he gone 3 games without a point. Which is the same as McDavid. Please define what streaky because the numbers don’t line up with what you are saying. 

 

Yeah, the thing with Petey is he's cerebral, he's not a basher. The difference between picking off a couple pucks one game and getting 3 points and looking invisible is not going to be much, even though his effort and execution is the same.

This, Petey has barely driven play all year. Not worth nowhere near 12 when you can’t drive play and fall half the game. 


We found hater #2. Anyone else?

 

If you actually think that bs that you just spewed is even 1% accurate then you don’t watch many Canucks games.
