PhillipBlunt Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 Kane must have something on the officiating and DOPS to get away with the cross check to Myers. How he escaped any punishment for such a blatant violation is more proof of how poorly this league is run. They must have a soft spot for gambling addicts with numerous assault charges. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The Oilers are a bunch of dirty rotten a-holes who play dirty. Pettersson seems very sensitive and maybe that's a Swedish thing, or just the way he is. I can't imagine the slurs and trash talking that goes on at ice level, in scrums after whistles, the taunting the mind-f**king, etc., not to mention the dirty physical stuff. Maybe Petey was ill during the Nashville series, but he looks out of his element in this series. Lafferty has been invisible during the playoffs, I thought he would be one of our most physical players, along the lines of Torres. Petey could be feeling stranded on an island with Laff and Mik, and targeted every shift with no team mate support. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewonder20 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Necas, Nikishin and a first for Petey. Any takers? Probably not Carolina, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they posted a shortened one on Twitter. The last 5 minutes of the full length interview was a great listen. Someone asked Tocchet about why he's being such a hardass and he simply replied with how the Canucks were tired of losing, so he's driving it into player's heads that this is what it takes to win, so seize the moment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the reason why this team is playing so passively. They k know the Oilers can get away with everything and if they even dare to touch an Oiler, the league is gonna bring out the ban hammer. They want thier golden child in the finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the job that pays you huge money. He seems either depressed, bored, on drugs, or just doesn't give a shit. I'd love to see the old Petey back, on and off the ice. I think he needs counseling, or a kick in the ass. It's just his personality I think. Not everyone shows their cards...which may be part of the problem as he likely keeps it all inside. I think he needs a sports psychologist at this point...help him work through what could be very unfamiliar territory. His struggle is real. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFAN Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 hour ago, -dlc- said: I feel for Petey....clearly, he doesn't have the answers and is trying to do his best. I have mixed feelings. I feel for him because he's still a kid and under way more pressure than I could have handled at 25, but when you're put in that situation and demand the big bucks, you better grow up fast, physically, mentally and emotionally. As much as I'd like the rewards, I wouldn't want to be in that situation at that age. I think he needs counseling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekker Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Tough times for EP. He isn't playing out of this funk with his current linemates, just not happening. I know he gets paid, blah, blah. His talent didn't just disappear but his confidence definitely has. While I blame EP for a lot of this IE, he didn't get any stronger during the offseason, playing with a black hole of offence in Mik has done a number for sure. At the very least I would like to see EP reunited with Lindolm. It was tried earlier but Lindolm was struggling at that time. Right, wrong, shamefull? Whatever. EP isn't coming out of this with Mik as a linemate. Not happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unfortunate all-round. That four minute powerplay was the final straw for Tochett it seems. I'd put EP in front of the net or high slot. Less pressure than playing on the boards.

It certainly looks that way. Zadorov was right about them protecting their investment. Such a fucking horribly run league. If it wasn’t for the Canucks, I wouldn’t watch it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Petey said he wants to play on a winning team, and play in the playoffs. Well, here they are in Round 2 taking on the top contenders, and he looks sad AF. Maybe he should talk to Brock's psychologist. Worked wonders for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong, but EP has played his best hockey with JT as a linemate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be understated. Talent needs talent to play with. We all wish EP could just carry a line right now and live up to his contract, but he isn't capable of it right now. I think he will be closer to that player one day. Chime in others please. What other high end All Star has had such crap linemates since the All Star break? I can't think of one. Other elte players have at the very least a star partner on their line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Pette warned us to wait until the end of the season to negotiate his contract but nooooooooooooooo! And now he's sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
