GrammaInTheTub Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 We’re trying to counter Edmontons speed with some breakout passes that are just a bit beyond reach and we’ve been stung or lost possession at unnecessary times a few now. They’ll work out those kinks from the last round just hopefully sooner than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Just now, RU SERIOUS said: I think it's physical. He doesn't get involved in physical play and can't release those Epic one timers like the first half of the year. I'll bet $5 bucks we'll finally hear the truth about his injury at seasons end. I agree there’s something physical going on. I watched enough of him carrying the Vaxjo Lakers to the SHL Championship to know that he has the capability to be a clutch playoff performer. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t nursing something fairly significant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just seems like it’s ok he has been a no show which suggests that he has an injury and that’s why they aren’t putting him in front of the media very often and why Tochett isn’t being hard on him. I’m talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury excuses are weak. If any one of us got a pay raise and didn’t perform up to expectations, we’d get a talking to. Maybe even fired. Petey deserves all the criticism he’s receiving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can find plenty enough for the 8 million freed up. $11.6 million freed up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) 5 minutes ago, bh90 said: Could it just be he's out of shape and fatigue has kicked in? Remember EP at the start of the season? Seemed a little bulkier, a little more aggressive. Would not surprise me if two things: a) he has another lingering injury and when he is injured it seems to really affect him mentally, b) he’s lost that bit of bulk and likely naturally lost a little weight over the course of the season and just isn’t the same player he was at the start and maybe loses some stamina over the course. His confidence is quite affected by how much he expects of himself and when it’s not working it really shows. Edited May 9 by RWJC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play so much more confidently infront of him Word is game 5 at best and more likely 6 and 7 if need be. Hopefully that update improves. Next game I go with Desmith he played incredible against the Coilers and has their # Edited May 9 by MoneyMiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell it's taking a toll on him. He's turning his back every time he's about to take a hit.. I cringe everytime.. I almost feel the hit my self..he's a tiny guy.. playoffs are hard for a guy especially his size.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
