Popular Post MeanSeanBean Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 3 minutes ago, Conscience said: Unfortunately he did nothing on the powerplay either, cant blame poor quality line mates there. pp was another reason for losing A goal in game 6 on the 5 on 3 or a goal in game 7 on the double minor and its a different game. You can't? the Canucks only had 5 post season powerplay goals, by 4 different players. 1 was Petey, who tied Boeser and Miller. It's fair to criticize Peteys play overall, but it's disingenuous if you attempt to blame the powerplay troubles on him. 1 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's probably "just a business" for some of them, but I would be so pissed at paying some of the players so much money and just watch them float some times. That said - the Canucks did better than I expected (I didn't expect them to make the playoffs - let alone almost win 2 rounds). This will be a good learning season for them - I hope they do even better next year. Absolutely agree 100%... This is where experience comes into play... JR/PA has never been scarred of pulling the trigger, so there will be a few heads rolling now... I expect Mika to be dealt, maybe in a deal with Hronek... Question is, if they still see Petey as the future or not, but I think they do... Time will tell... Nevertheless, we all knew before this started, that this would be a learning experience for the entire team... Good news is, or main performers bar Miller (who is by no means old) are young, so they will grow and likely become better players, physically in particular... Onwards and upwards... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had zero support since none of his linemates had anything going either. Stone cold Mika and whom ever else was left, was his wingers... He can play better, we've all seen it and the last two seasons 102 + 89 points bare witness to that... He'll turn it around... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost everything, when he resorted to belittle a 3rd string goal tender, when he couldn't his the target... I wish Z or Soucy had destroyed 'the dry pig face'. Yep, Dri is a good match for the rest of so-called “leadership group “ of Coilers Bunch of divers, whiners and cheap shots artists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarbularyBattery Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Just now, MeanSeanBean said: hopefully, but he looked outmatches this post season. Hopefully he builds confidence over the summer and comes back with fire in his belly. hes still only 23, nowhere near final form 24 goals by this stage in his career considering the minutes he was playing is pretty huge he'll keep honing his defensive game over the next 1-2 seasons it was very eye opening for me to see petey completely change when he had either lindholm or miller on his line. mikheyev did them dirty last night. i really wanna see us pick up toffoli during the offseason. he wont be too expensive, hes getting older + hes pretty one dimensional. But seeing petey suffer without a finisher on his line is just tragic. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPs ego enabled him to get a huge contract which he doesn't live up to. I am sure Management would have noticed any issues with his body. Hronek decides to finally let a clapper go!?!? He has no shot. His points are from Hughes and Hughes alone... Just stop making up lame excuses for these player who could not step up when it mattered You'd have this lame cliche filled sermon ready for anything less than the Stanley cup.

His whole demeanour just rubs me the wrong way. Again agree 100%... He is an arrogant arse, who has won Zilch in his career... Hearing TSN riding his and McDivers d's all series long didn't make it any better... Rotten to the core the lot, but we knew that from 2011... If there is a silver lining, for me at least it is, we were unlikely to be able to beat Dallas without Demko and Boeser... Now at least we get to see these arrogant feckers getting torn apart by Stars instead, and it is going to be delicious.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Interesting take from a friend this morning ...... Petey's last-off-the-ice looking around at the Arena and the crowd had all the hallmarks of a player relishing the moment knowing he's played his last game as a Canuck. I replayed that sequence and now get the same vibes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
