The one is just soooo much more affable, charismatic, and well spoken. Z's answer to contract negotiations q was great. I'd give him an extra mill just for the expected quality of his interview answers over the duration of his next contract. This is precisely what I thought when Nikita answered his question. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maniwaki Canuck Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 Pure gold from Zadorov: "Well how much money do you think I should be making?" "Don't listen to those Edmonton reporters". This guy is the great entertainer, on and off the ice. Gotta bring him back! 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to want to cash in on his year w Hughes 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely explains why he wasn’t moving his feet and lacked that explosiveness and agility that makes him effective. I was really worried about his mental health being an issue. But I guess it makes sense that he was so down because he couldn’t play his game the way he wanted to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I really like Teddy. His demeanour and professionalism is 10/10. You know exactly what youre getting from the guy and a key PKr for the team. Really hope he’s back. Hoping Z was hinting at re-signing too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 15 hours ago, Jaimito said: A thread for discussion on the end of season interviews of the players and management. Many of us are curious about player injury status, their experience, aspects wanting to improve etc. Love to hear what the next steps the management thinks are needed. JR is always brutally honest. Major surgery again? How many guys will they keep? How ready are the prospects? Thanks for posting the updates, @Jaimito 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the docs and trainers said stay off of it for 2-3 months, I'm pretty sure they'd shut him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the team probably wanted to keep him happy as they were unsure if he would re-sign at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care what it takes. The guy is a beauty Extremely disappointed in Petey’s narrative saying that he wants to get out of here because of the noise around his contract and how he has played. He sounds like Markus Naslund. No appreciation for what he has in the city Never mind that he just re-signed for 8 years, he must hate it here. That is a big logical leap especially after how much he was questioned about struggles at every press conference. I bet he is frustrated how would you like to sit in front of a crowd every day and be asked over and over again why you suck so much right now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often it's better to rest, but some injuries benefit from keeping as much strength surrounding the joint as possible in hopes it heals, all be it at a slower rate. I would reckon they approached it this way under the assumption it wasn't bad enough to start, then wanted to give him the best shot at being peak performance as playoffs started. I bet if you were to ask the clinicians on staff they may have approached it differently in hindsight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it wasn't too bad at first, didn't require surgery, thought it would go away or that he could play through it, but it got worse later on towards the playoffs. Of all the variables in play this offseason, Petey coming back stronger next season is the least of my worries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarbularyBattery Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 knee injury makes SO much sense for petey explains the falling explains difficulty taking hard shots (shifting his weight) explains lack of explosive speed (looking like he doesnt care) damn. at some point though they should have just come out and said he was playing through something. i really dont know what was gained by pretending he was healthy, and letting media/fans just keep abusing him. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's something happened in mid or late Jan, and wasn't particularly bad, why wouldn't he want to go with all his teammates? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
