Sativika Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 When the broadcast cuts to the Canuck bench, on a few occasions I've noticed Petey taping up his wrist. That doesn't necessarily mean he's nursing an injury. But it is curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoticmonkey Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 He'd be able to let it rip more often if they go back to the PP setup where Miller carries the puck down ice from the left flank and if he has room he'll snipe it home, if not he goes behind the back to Hughes. Hughes either one times it or passes to Petey where he has enough room for the one-timer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksNation Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 He’s way too slow to get it off, watch how much faster Miller gets his off when he plays that spot on the pp. Pettersson needs to stop overthinking and just shoot, who cares if they get blocked. Blocks add up in series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully now that he has solidified his next contract he won't be shy to request a few maintenance days if he does indeed need some rest and recovery before the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckDownUnder Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Could also be that teams have figured out ways to neutralize the shot and he needs to adjust to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocks add up in series. The harder the shot that gets blocked, the better the chance next time the guy just screens his goalie and then ducks at last minute, or moves out of way.

DANJR Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I am old school. If someones gonna block it, let him. That's how players get hurt. A hurt player is less of an obstacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckleheads Fan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I see a lot more teams playing the diamond formation on the PK, which negates the one-timer from both half-walls, as well as makes the D+D pass risky. However, it opens the bumper up, so I have no idea why Brock isn't cleaning up. The diamond was why the PP was focusing on more movement, with players moving around to be less predictable. The problem is that it moved players away from their best spots. I think Petey could be dangerous working from below the goal line or in the bumper, but he would suffer a lot of abuse. Hogs would also be a great bumper player. Edited March 7 by Canuckleheads Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so bad that he can't take faceoffs, but bad enough that a missed one-timer could set his teeth on edge.
