Popular Post JeremyCuddles Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 I am going to bed, still under the weather. But, we are tied 2-2 with a team many heavily favored over us. We took 1 in their arena and it's a best of 3 series with 2 games at home. They won by 1 goal and people are acting like we got dominated 8-1. That team is beatable and we can do it. Just gotta wake some players up. Goodnight folks. Don't over-drink the negativity. 3 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is playing with Lindholm and Joshua. Pettersson is playing with 'hands of stone' Mikheyev and Rookie Karlsson. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure no fans in the building but still physical playoff hockey. Something is different, if its mental and hes scared then hes done, if its physical and hes hurt then hopefully he can recover but he's no bubble Petey now.

AngelicHearts Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 That was a frustrating game. It seemed like they only showed up partway through the third period. Hope they show more confidence in the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 Cole comes out when Soucy returns. Hughes - Myers Zadorov - Hronek Soucy - Juulsen Even though he’s a Stanley Cup winner, he’s extremely unpredictable and detrimental to the team in these playoffs. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been looking off throughout the season. Part of it is definitely mental but I also suspect he is not used to the extra bulk he build up last off season. Maybe he needs to forget about size and go back to being like Hughes, be quick and nimble. That was what got him success to begin with.

Joe-Kerr Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The talk about petey is honestly ridiculous. Yeah hes obviously not playing well but talking about trading him or signing him being a mistake is kinda embarrassing. Is this how we should act when our stars are struggling? Trade them and call them trash?? You guys realize hes insanely talented right? We get it, he needs to play wayy better but have a little respect for our players smh 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens to the best of us. Usually teams have to face many years of playoffs. Failures, heartbreaks before the win it all. Still could be a special year for us though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 19 minutes ago, Devron said: Petey is basically playing third line center with plugs. Wingers that might actually belong on a 4th line. That and a struggling PP. isn’t a strong recipe for offence. Meanwhile Lindholm is playing with 2 stud wingers. I think it’s time to put Pete on the wing with real line mates Has Petey won a 1v1 battle against anyone yet this playoffs? When he comes in with the puck, it used to be a given he comes with speed and dekes the first guy and creates a mismatch/odd man situation. Now all we see him do is slow down at the blue line and chip the puck off the boards and into the corner for his winger to retrieve. What happened to the guy that used to create space for himself by getting by the first guy? I don't remember the last time he got by an opposition with the puck on his stick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43isprime Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 13 minutes ago, Outsiders said: Pettersson-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Lindholm-Garland Hoglander-Suter-Podz Aman-Blueger-PDG Mikheyev and Lafferty need to sit I agree Podkolzin should come in, but Tocchet doesn't seem to be overly enamored with the Lotto line. And I don't think Pettersson so far has added much value to that line over Suter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 4 minutes ago, DarthMelvin said: Just stop... Physical presence, i lol'd literally. We may have begged for it, but we didn't get it with Cole. The penalty on Miller with the high stick would not have happened if Cole didn't take 3 tries to clear the zone...in which he failed to do all 3x. The fact that ur arguing for Cole is crazy. It's like you are not even watching the game. Maybe you have siriusxm lol Gotta admit that Cole has kind of been the Canucks’ Achillies heel. Oilers are banking shots off of him, like he’s the back-board of a basketball hoop, & he’s been the least effective D-man at moving out the puck. But - that’s all the more reason to send some extra good vibes his way, because if he’s in the line-up - he playing some healthy minutes! Think positively that his play will improve or…the Debbie-downer effect will prevail. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
