Kragar Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) 3 hours ago, grumpyone said: my thoughts on Petey's play: He has been checked VERY tightly for the past few games. Last night was the first time in a while that he's started to have a little bit of room to operate. As our other players start to score, they'll shift their focus away from Petey and thus give him some time/room, then watch out for SUUUUUPPPPERRRR PETEY to take over the game.

It looks like a real good time to sit with the building full of fans (no Hab or Laff fans) and share the emotions etc. Ugh, you know they would be there if we were playing one of those teams, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Frozen Water Walker Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 The Canucks win a game in the Playoffs. In hostile territory.

And shouldn't you actually be calling out Luke Schenn for that incident? It was Luke that initiated it "on live TV". He could have waited until they were in the dressing room. Good thing we got rid of that shit disturber Schenn, eh? The scant number of times Miller showed a little too much emotion in 5 years as a Canuck is laughable to bring up. Before Tocchet, and even more ridiculous now. I, and I think most fans, were very happy to see an actual Canuck show emotion on the ice after years of pablum leadership. The only aspect of Miller's emotions harming the team was in skating back to defend after he or a teammate lost the puck. Which I suspect this was about. Miller revealed that those incidents were also directly related to his own inner emotions because he was beating himself up about his flub, and down about the puck going the other way, instead of immediately re-focusing on defence and skating hard back. He's learned since how to deal with that. The Miller "scandal" was almost completely a media created drama to sell papers (or clicks). Because the Canucks were not known for showing any passion, win or lose, it was a shocking change to see a Canuck caring so damn much about winning. This was something to talk about the next day on the radio. Using the good old FOX News tactic: "We are only asking the question, but does Miller have a big problem?" "Was signing Miller a mistake?" etc. And like FOX News, they know that they will have a loud vocal minorty of people that will follow along down the rabbit hole any kind of controversial, or negative story. And they will answer those questions with..."OMG...YES!!!" One of the dumbest, blown out of proportion "scandals" to ever stain our screens. And dumber to fall for it. After this happened the worst of the tabloid hucksters Elliot Friedman gleefully pronounced: “I think one thing that’s going to be pulled apart is what happened at the end of the second period. And that was when Luke Schenn and JT Miller...” https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/canucks-miller-schenn-appear-confrontation-periods/ Elliot and the lowest local media scum like Sekeres took up the torch to see just how far and wide they could create chaos. Sad how some fans fell for it. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 2 hours ago, HKSR said: I'd almost just have Podz and Mik with Petey since those 2 have some decent size. Then move Hogs back to the 4th line to feast on Nashville's bottom part of their roster. I like the idea of Hogs on line 4, but I can't help but think a big reason that Petey is so cold is because Mik is the grim reaper of offense.

Popular Post RomanPer Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 5 hours ago, stawns said: I had no issue with going into a defensive mode and it was quite effective until the last 6-8 mins of the game. At that point is was just obvious that it had worn them out and they'd lost their legs. That's what allowed Nashville to really pour it in and make it a close, stressful ending. The Canucks just could not keep up with the Preds at the end and they were very very lucky to pull that one out. Had it gone to OT, it would be 2-1 Preds right now, imo Had grandma had balls she would have been a grandpa… 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The true road to success in a team sport is chemistry and cohesion. One player can't carry a team Lol, I’ll go tell my middle blocker (top 5 in BC at 15U girls volleyball) that she’s not carrying our team by scoring majority of our points lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I feel we need either that line or the 4th line to contribute. If Petey's line isn't gonna do it, then maybe Hogs can take advantage as the 4th line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanPer Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 3 hours ago, JIAHN said: So, honestly Alf. If he plays like this next year in the playoffs, you will be fine with that, hey? It is just this year, because, you know, he is only making 7.35, so he does not have to play like a 11.6 player......so you are good with that? I don’t share your concern about Petey. If you look at his overall production with the Canucks, he’s well worth his new contract. He’s just going through some rough patch. Practically every star player has these periods in their career. Yes, he’s currently not producing to his contract level points wise. But that will come back, I have no doubt about it. This last game showed that he’s still contributing to the overall team success in other ways. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
