He’s a key piece until we add that #3 guy at the deadline - and we’ll make due with Juulsen/Desharnais in the meantime. I thought Forbort-Juulsen looked surprisingly good last night.

Buffalo is a good example. Power and Dahlin can't play all the minutes. And the forwards aren't defensive specialists. You can be a standout among dregs.

Dr. Crossbar Posted Saturday at 08:37 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:37 PM 4 minutes ago, The Duke said: For sure. Going to take awhile to judge this all, though. Last year we kind of lost our fastball after the allstar break. If we start to peak at that time, we won’t be lamenting a slow start at all. That’s the hope, I guess! Definitely the hope. We're too good of a team, imo, to not put it together. Tocc just has to be careful to not get too far into a hole that makes it harder than it needs to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would snipe the puck and score. He hasn’t shown he can do either. Holds on to the puck forever and gets blocked. He wasnt even like this beginning of last season. Canucks regressed last 30 games of last year partially cause he significantly dropped his point pace. 11.6 is top 5 aav in the league i am just hoping he can’t be a top two player on our team. Right now he is no where close Exactly. Don't know whether some posters just wear rose colored glasses, or they just can't see the truth, r they just refuse to accept,so instead they go after posters that rationally point out the obvious decline of EP. Whatever the reason, we all want EP to start playing like he used to.. I just have personally given up hope, and have moved to just being frustrated with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted Saturday at 08:49 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:49 PM Fiancé made a good point last night. The new guys aren’t meshing yet and I agree. It’s gonna take some time. Luckily we are only 2 games in 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon1 Posted Saturday at 08:53 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:53 PM Imagine if we had traded EP for Necas or Jarvis and kept Lindholm. Suter-Miller-Boeser Necas-Lindholm-Debrusk Would look good as a top 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no mystery why every line garland is on is the teams best line that night 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted Saturday at 08:55 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:55 PM 1 hour ago, JayDangles said: It's because Petey has looked average at best for 8 months. Everyone was hoping a summer of rest, rehab?, training, new linemates would at least result in signs he has snapped out of it. Now with 3 preseason games and 2 regular games, petey hasn't improved 1%, that's why people are concerned. It isn't just 2 games, it's half a regular season, 2 playoff round, and now the start of a new season. During all that we inked him to $11.6. The team met him more than halfway here. It's up to him to have figured it out by now. He should have figured it out by now. That's the entire team, not just Petey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was given plenty of chance the last 2 years and it didn’t work once Giving him a shift or two here and there isn't giving him a chance. Garland is probably the most consistently effective fwd on the team and the one guy who makes everyone around him better 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it was let's see how he starts next year after after a summer of rest and maybe some better linemates. Now we're back to, let's see after 20 games. Meh. If an $11.6m player needs a revolving door of excuses and adjusted timeliness then I guess that's just our reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really don’t know what ls going on and if I were a betting man I’d say it’s some mental issues which is why Petey will have my full support, because I know he has the fire to be the best we’ve all seen it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was our stellar start that carried us into the playoffs. Only difference is there were multiple players who had amazing individual games and efforts even during that period. Garland, Blueger, Joshua, Miller, Boes etc. Petey really seemed to be one of the only players, and definitely the only top 6 player who just didn't or couldn't get it together for any period of time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
