His 19 points led all scorers in the playoffs by five points. His point total surpassed Daniel and Henrik Sedin's previous record for U20. Hmmm... And had 18 points in 17 games in the Bubble Edited February 25 by Bure10Kuzmenko96 Typo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some still have to somehow make him out to be something he's not. Nor ever was. "Toxic". Those takes are toxic and we need to learn not to do that about our players. They get enough heat from others. This, thank you for saying that. The amount of crap people heap on players at times just makes me shake my head. I mean we are Canucks fans, support the players cheer them on. All the time in the world for a player that shows raw emotion over any sort of indifference. Pettersson may in fact not be what a segment of fans here, media included think he is. But the heat on him is near mind boggling. The negativity throughout the fans and media on him is the kind of crap that festers. He's a highly skilled 200 foot forward he can skate, make dangerous dangles, play power play, kill penalties, win faceoffs. He is taller and slight so he falls at a higher than acceptable rate to some ffs haha. He will throw the body around, blocks shots. Facts speak and he is a PPG player against top teams. He has single handedly this season picked apart other clubs and potted a ton of game winners. Last night he led rushes made some excellent passes and made a key play in getting the OT power play by his insane hockey IQ. Oh and continues to be a team leader offensively and when the Canucks played post season games he was leading the team offensively. STOP complaining about him and little crap details about his game, taking what he is for granted. Mikheyev, he is on pace to have a career year. He is sound defensively and will use his body and his skating is getting stronger. Stone hands? No finish? Like I said he's on pace for a career year. He doesn't hurt the lineup. Could care less what his caphit is. The perceived goals, assists, points, wins etc stats don't justify these contracts. Mikheyev is a player you win with in the playoffs. Maybe lets cheer louder when hes on the ice and support him, be so happy for the guy when he gets that monkey off his back. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) 1 hour ago, -dlc- said: The team loved Kes from what I got...at least most of them. Again, that on ice "toxicity" is passion and intensity for those seeing it for what it is. Guys who hate losing. Competitiveness. As Miller has explained, when you play on that edge you can't just shut it on/off. It's a fine line to dance on. Like Miller, Kes was a joker behind the scenes. A guy who had a lot of fun with his teammates and often used sarcasm as part of that. Everyone should be a miserable SOB when losing...anyone who's not doesn't care enough in my books. Nice guys finish last. Sure. I don’t think anything that I said contradicts that. (I think Kesler actually did the right thing getting out of town as those teams were never going to be good.). Miller is obviously able to be a part of a huge turnaround and great group this year. I think you can hate losing and still have better body language (and back checking) than he had. Taking too long on shifts and forcing plays. But if what Rutherford said was true, Miller may have been upset with the coaching as well as the losing - and that’s a tough place to be in. That would explain his immediate buy-in with Tocchet, too. In any case, literally everything has come a 180 from last season and incredibly quickly. So I can also agree it was overblown as far as having any long term effects. Edited February 25 by The Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's more likely gonna finish around 30 points this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) 20 minutes ago, -dlc- said: I feel that one thing we all have to learn as a fanbase is to not fall apart at every sign of trouble. Weather the storms. We have good reason to be nervous....the past has created that atmosphere of "uh oh, here we go again". But even when the team struggles, we should learn not to trash them so easily. Hang in there with them, get behind them. They've earned our respect at this point. No matter how things play out...they're a good team and this isn't just a run of easy wins. This has been a sustained thing over 3/4 of a season now. Meaningless in the overall quest for the cup at this point, but means something in how we view them and credit is due for how they're showing up this year. I agree with you. Weathering the storms has proved a lot of people wrong yet they keep clinging to the same mentality over and over. The bandwagon jumping is brutal. I mean, it's gotten so bad people can't handle even being scored upon. That's just not how all this works. Even Tocchet's interview today ... he's teaching the team to be mentally strong, to overcome adversity, and how to handle pressure. We need to be mentally stronger to win anything. It's the exact opposite of how some react and fold so quickly. The key isn't to be weaker. It's to be stronger. All of this is really an opportunity beyond hockey to confront and get over our fear of disappointment. Also to learn and be stronger. We don't have to cling to the negative. I get it, feel it, and understand it but we can be stronger than that as a fanbase. I find some have lost the ability to see when things are changing or to recognize the good. We CAN choose to be better. Especially when the team is better. Edited February 25 by Dr. Crossbar My keyboard is way too small. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Boudrias Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 3 hours ago, -dlc- said: I love that everyone's buying in with Miller now. For sh's & giggles I went back to the old forum (for another reason). And came across a time when everyone but a handful of us had daggers out and wanted to trade him for a pair of socks and a mouthguard. He was toxic. Would ruin the team. Keep Bo over him. He was lazy, greedy, out of shape....would never re-sign here. He's always shown a side of him that is on the edge and sometimes that doesn't look pretty. But the majority of the time...that doesn't look pretty to the other team and that's exactly what we needed. It was quite a trip down memory lane. (And why is that site STILL going?) LOL Well I was one of those wanting to move JT. I have been eating crow ever since. I can’t remember if I was holding out for Bo or not. I do remember questioning when he would peak during the length of his deal. OK, JT is more than solid. His play without the puck is top notch. Two big misses with JT. His drive to win was being undermined by his personality. Not true. That the Canucks were still 2 years away from serious contention. Not true. PA & RT have done a fabulous job with this team. Also full credit to the Aquilini family for funding the CAP but also the expense of creating a new organization. The current Canuck organization is the best I have seen in 54 years. While I am eating crow I willl add my resistance to moving Utica to Abby. What of the worst calls I have ever made. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there have been some super huge Petterson fans who think he is worth more than he actually is. The numbers so blatently thrown around likely get back to the player, and the agent. Its possible the agent leaks the numbers out too, to say its "not a big deal" to ask for 10 million these days? I just hope Petterson can be realistic, because management is smart enough to build a winning team for more than just this year. We need cap space in the years ahead, sure its going up but its not enough to pay a guy like Petterson twice as much as Boeser, for example.

Pure961089 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 2 hours ago, -dlc- said: But some people treat every game like a turning point. They keep moving the goalposts. It was wait until 10 games in. It's always that the games we win aren't important but only the ones we lose are. There will be ebbs and flows....wins and losses. Even strung together. I think the thing to remember is that it's a long season and nothing's decided until it's all said and done. Some people want to write us off at every possible chance. Will we win the cup? Odds are against us when 32 teams are all vying for the same thing. One team will, that's it. But we could. That's becoming more and more obvious. I hate the contenders label. Every damn team that gets into the playoffs is a contender. Top teams could lose top players to injury, slumps, etc. Goaltending matters a whole lot...those who get hot at the right time have a huge advantage. Suspensions...we know how that can impact things. Reffing. Just stay healthy and get hot and you could go all the way. It started with "let's hope we can play meaningful games in November.". Then it was $wait till we play good teams". Now what? The Canucks record vs good teams is one of the best records in the league. Absolutely agree with the goalposts being moved by both media and fans.

Popular Post MikeyD Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 (edited) That third period was Canucks hockey. We finally stopped the goddamn dump and change and used our speed in the neutral zone to skate around slower defenders and force them off of their lines. We finally stopped handing the damn puck over to the other team when we didn't need to and that one single adjustment led to absolute waves of pressure. Even against a dominant Swayman we owned them. Could have had 5 that period. Good to see Canucks hockey again. It's been a while. We finally played good possession hockey. That's a cup winning level of hockey from the third period on. I hope the boys realize what made this effort work. If they do we will be an extremely tough out in the playoffs. I hope this adversity showed them what they need to do.

van_can_fan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 2 hours ago, VegasCanuck said: Need to remember that Canucks have played more games than every other team in the league. Edmonton is going into the toughest segment of their schedule. They have multiple stretches with little time off. I think they have 5 or 6, 3 games in 4 nights through the balance of their schedule. Edmonton is only starting to deal with exhaustion factor and as a result, they are stumbling again. I won't be surprised if they either miss the playoffs or just squeeze into a wildcard spot. That could mean we face them in round 1 if we win the division I would prefer not to to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
