MeanSeanBean Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 minute ago, HarbularyBattery said: 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. Playoffs baby. If he would have admitted any sort of knee instability it would have been targeted. They may have misstepped the rehab, but not admitting to it was the right move. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could say yes to a new deal he could say no to a new deal he could say trade me as I won't re-sign seems he has lots, of say in what happens I can't remember, did we already give him an offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whorvat Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 2 minutes ago, MeanSeanBean said: depending on the severity of the issue at the time, yes it does make sense. 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? Considering he included in his statement that all he needs is rest.. that is a week of rest at the ASG. Could've taken an additional week or two off as well. Poorly handled yet another injury on this team 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you sign him to a 6x6? I'd love him to stay, can we really give him what he wants, which is term. Then you gotta prioritize who do you want more, Zadorov, Lindholm or Joshua.

Bure_Pavel Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, Jaimito said: Seems fishy, why wouldnt they just rest him down the stretch of the regular season if that was the case. Seems like either an excuse or Canucks terrible medical team at it again. If it just needed rest why didnt they do it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have guessed knee issue. Remember when many thought he fell to the ice pretty easily, or can't do those dekey pete moves, knee issue now makes sense 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have misstepped the rehab, but not admitting to it was the right move. Still find it odd playing with a knee injury in a meaningless game (last regular season game). If it's causing pain (which is the body's way of telling you something is wrong), what was the point? He should've been forced to sit out that game (healthy scratch) & just call it a 'maintenance day' (pretty normal) so as not to draw attention to possible injury. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Petey lacks strength and isn't that good at faceoffs. Why are they forcing him to become a C in the NHL? Is it because they're going to give him $11.6 and they really need a #2C? Not a good enough reason IMO. Lindholm is far superior to Petey in the dot and can play a heavier game, but yet, Lindholm will be likely leaving the team (probably sign with BOS). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickly Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Management needs to sit down with Petey and have a blunt conversation about if he really wants to be in a noisy market like Vancouver. Feels like he was pressured into signing his deal. Knee injury aside I worry about him living up to his deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
