HKSR Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I've been very hard on Petey the last little while, but I'm gonna hold back until we see 2 things happen: 1. Petey back to 100% health. A knee injury for a guy that centres his game around quick pivots to elude defenders is a major blow for his offensive game. 2. A legitimate and CONSISTENT top 6 forward to be acquired to play next to him. I was one of those that downplayed the importance because of Hoglander's game this past year, but realistically, if PA/JR have made it explicitly clear that they are specifically looking for a top 6F, that tells me they see that the hole on Petey's line is one of the biggest priorities this offseason. Now IF the above 2 are fulfilled and we still see a 60 point forward in Petey, we will all have a lot to complain about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be quite debilitating, to the point where you can't even walk. That's quite different than having a bum shoulder. For a player who is supposed to be skating and trying to catch McDavid and Draisaitl, knee tendonitis can be considered a major injury. Also, there have been NFL football players that had to retire because of chronic knee tendonitis. So it's actually a serious medical condition...

I couldn't walk for a good couple of weeks.

I know an NFL player that had to retire because of it. I'm assuming Petey was taking something to have the swelling go down. He admitted it got worse as time went on, so it was probably serious enough that he shouldn't have been playing. You could tell his skating was affected. He didn't have the same explosiveness as during the beginning of the year. And he was falling down alot more than his usual self... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey himself said he had a “sh*t” year. He’s a driven athlete so Im not worried. As an aside: Some of the criticism about his injury to “man up” is totally unfair imo. People handle / experience pain differently. I had a knee injury (meniscus damage I think-not officially diagnosed) I tried to compete through in my boxing days until finally I decided being 100% is a lot better than not being at my best. I wasn’t making millions of dollars either but my point is regardless of what other people think, youre not in Petey’s shoes. If he’s being genuine and honest about his experience that should be the end of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bllewellyn Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Patterson frustrated me this year, but I didn’t really complain about it. I figured he had to be injured now that we hear he had tendinitis in his knee that’s acceptable ,for the guy saying he’s inconsistent and he didn’t elevate people I’d argue he did even through his injury, hoglander and others had career years playing beside him that said none of those players are true first or second line players. This is where I question the management group and why they didn’t shut him down. There was a drastic difference between the first half and second half of the year and if rest is what heals it They should’ve given it to him once playoffs were secured, they then could’ve used his ltir to to bring in a true first line player à la Las Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like do you even have anything else to contribute to this website? Maybe it's Seravalli's account. Given he recently shit on Petey, and has been shitting on him since our season ended. Seems to have it out for Petey. More than me, and I figured I was a big Petey critic. But, I do think something smells in regards to his knee injury. Cause no matter how you slice it, someone is either lying or incompetent. Either Petey is leaning on the knee injury as an excuse., but to his credit he also mentions he was just playing like shit. Or management was stupid in not shutting him down earlier. Given rest is apparently all Petey's knee needs for treatment. The situation is just really ugly for everyone involved ngl. Cause the entire reason I figured he was healthy, was cause the team never rested him. Despite being willing to rest Lindholm and Cole at points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Petey this playoffs it's like watching a fragile 18 or 19 year old play, management jumped the gun on this one too early. Will Miller be 100% better in 2-3 years?... Why is that so hard to comprehend. You are not paying Petey for what he has done up to now, but for what, he is predicted or at least hoped to achieve by the time he is 28 onwards...ie his prime years... Did you watch Petey during bubble, when he WAS a fragile teenager? Management jumped to gun, but 90%+ of the fan base wanted this deal concluded prior to the play offs, even though Petey wanted to wait... He had over 100 points last year and was on course for it this year as well until he got injured... Guess we'll see next year, when we are in the play offs again...

JD Bunkis (Ontario podcaster, surprise surprise) suggested on sportsnet that EP's contract might be in the NHL's worst contract territory. Crazy take, EP's game is still strong, it's his offensive production that has dried out. He needs to get out of his own head, he needs to go hard starting tonight, and he needs to get stronger on his skates over the summer (and every summer moving forward). Playoff bubble EP was a beast, he will get it back. Unfortunately, it is terrible timing for him to go into a slump. The big contract is currently weighing on him. Lets go EP, huge game tonight! boy had 102 points last season and nearly 90 this season (on course for over 100 until injured apparently)... so how the f is that the NHL worst contract territory for a 25 year old... Hope that clown is being held to account next season... He's is just another Leafs blower, trying to divert all the garbage going on in leafs nation.... Maybe he should look closer to home... Nylander was signed to a $11.5M contract after being barely a point per game up until his 27th birthday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when Pettersson next season disappears for a 10-game stretch, it will be taken a bit more seriously instead of being brushed aside with accusations of cherry-picking. If he scores 100-110 points, I'll have no issues with him vanishing for a 10 game stretch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
