Elias Pettersson Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Mikheyev seems to be flying out there again. I would put him with Miller and Boeser to see if he can regain his scoring touch. He’s wasted on the 4th line. I’d move Suter to 4C. Höglander Pettersson Lindholm Mikheyev Miller Boeser Bains Blueger Garland PDG Suter Lafferty I would try this out next game. Also, Joshua is a bigger loss than some think. He is more important than Blueger or Garland. He is going to get paid this summer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Wes Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 1 hour ago, Guntrix said: Sure, but top players find a way to produce. Petey, specifically, wants to get paid McKinnon-tier money but plays like a scared Nylander against top teams. I say ship him out if the right deal comes along. How do you know how much money Petey wants? Has he told you or are you just guessing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 When we were successful we played a puck possession game, I dunno know what's going on with the chip and chase crap, Other team get's the puck and out it goes... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keslers Ghost Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I thought Petey's line played better tonight. One of the best chances in the third was the tip play around the 10 minute mark, Georgiev just made a great save. Petey has shown he is determined to improve, I'm betting he figures out how to elevate his game and be a difference maker. GCG 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GrammaInTheTub Posted February 21 Popular Post Share Posted February 21 We’re a successful team that just needs some rest and health. Winnipeg was closer than it looked, Wild were an aberration and this was bounces not gone our way. That happens to the best of teams. I hope no one is proposing trades and stuff like when we hit 0.500 for a stretch, but then the entire team preached getting back to fundamentals as being the key. You’d think that some posters here were almost prepared to submit a resume for our non-vacant GM role with how certain they are sometimes. You need to know the sting of loss in any event. I’d rather we not coast into the playoffs, but rather have a fire under our ass from the good times and the bad. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a pattern all season long with him...piles a bunch of points in a game and then isn't to be found the next few games. Unfortunate but very true. Difficult situation.

24K Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) 1 hour ago, iinatcc said: I was listening Halford and Brough on Sportsnet 650 and they brought this topic on officiating. (Praphrasing) It was a long discussion in response to the loss at Minnesota (you can view it in the Podcast on Spotify) but basically and paraphrasing, while they feel the fanbase can point out questionable calls (or non-calls) from time to time, he does feel the fanbase has too much of a "victim mentality" and should stop thinking the refs are intentionally doing malice against the Canucks. Plus the focus needs to be on the team and not the officiating since officiating is going to change in the final stretch of the season and playoffs I listened to it too and I have never been more disappointed in Jamie Dodd and Hartford. I literally wanted to stop listening to them all together. Typical spineless media. They brought up how it was only the last two games reffing was an issue? It has been an issue all year! It started with the NYR ot and now we have one of the most lopsided penalty against differential in the league. It continued today. It ain't victim mindset when there is a consistent pattern to extremely bad reffing. If anything our media has a victim mindset. Did you see how Toronto's media came to the defense of Reily. If it was a Canuck doing what Reily did, our media would be the first to cheer for and go out of their way to justify a 10 game suspension let alone 5. The only one I have respect for now is Shorty who started to call out the refs in the broadcasts and Shah who at least acknowledge blown calls unlike Hartford who is a league cheerleader.

I guess it's more a league wide problem than something specific to the Canucks though ( I think I tried to make that point in the Minny game). But there's also a reason why Tocchet doesn't want to bring up the officiating because it's more about team performance than officiating. Bad reffing could cause a team a game or two but a good team can over come those instances in an 82 game season. Which is also why refs put down the whistles during the playoffs.

I would rather prefer the refs just put down the whistle now. They are doing more harm to the game blowing the whistle than just let them play grabs hooks and all. And ofcourse the coach and players ain't gonna call out the refs. They have to play the game and deal with the refs but it is completely different story for fans and media. The media especially are the ones that should be holding refs accountable but they, especially in our market, refuse to do so. Also even Tocchet called out reading today at least on the dive. It has become that bad. Edited February 21 by 24K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is a fast game so it's not easy o get everything right and when you don't the fanbase (for any team) is going to just rip you to shreds. So when a dive looks legit on the Ref's perspective it's hard to blame them on that. Someone mentioned using AI as a tool or even a replacement for refs. But realistically that isn't going to happen since the Refs Unión will fight hard against it. At least during the game itself.

Im a fan but it’s just not enough to have a guy taking up that much cap space to only provide defensive play and pk-ing. We can’t waste this season because we feel bad that he’s struggling to get back to 100. That cap space could be used so much more effectively. ....and we're stuck with him for 2 more years - after this year. BTW......Alvin was responsible for this signing....and not the first bad signing he's done either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet leads the league in game winning goals, puts up multiple multi point games and has done so against top opponents to boot and on the road too where matchups can be more difficult. Yes he like most of his teammates need to get more consistent in their play if they want to keep growing and building here. Lame seeing all the shit Petey takes here unless hes making slick dangles or producing. And to other comments, because Friedman or hockey " insiders " think Pettersson wants 12+ million per.....nobody knows what Petey wants, he hasn't even started talking to the Canucks as for the billionth time he will open negotiations after the season. So right now the same fans who say " did you see his stickhandling? Pay this man ", " he schooled the Rangers he is worth whatever he wants " to the " he disappeared because he did not produce tonight " or " more turnovers, overthinking pay him 9m " don't have a clue what he's worth or what his negotiations will look like. Ten years from now everyone will be going on about him getting close or pulverizing all time Canucks records. Relax. 1 3 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Can see the cliff jumping has started. WNP and COL game, both could have gone either way. Not overly concerned (yet) about how things are going. Refs continue to suck lol. Soucy...Missing him. Seems to settle things down, and improve our winning percentage (Salo did the same thing coincidence lol?). Team just needs to keep playing their game, and things will improve. A little adversity. Sucks a little. Every teams after us now, that's a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
