[Brendan Batchelor] Elias Pettersson on the Petey chants: “It means a lot. It was encouraging to have the fans behind you. I always have that here, but to hear them chant my name, it just makes me want to work harder for them.”

Remember when some dorks said this would be a bad idea?
Never. Harsh. Vibes.
Shoutout halford and brough
weird if that’s what really got him going but he had a great game and if it works we’ll take it.
Go, Mr Petey
Shoutout /u/callahandy for coordinating it on Reddit and 650 Radio.
He played with so much energy today and had that swagger we’ve seen before. I hope he continues this because Edmonton struggles to handle us when we have all lines rolling.
GDT comments were calling the chants cringe. Im convinced some of you just want the crowd to be silent unless something happens
Man with the level this team is playing, if Petey comes back to form I really think this is our year!
Go Canucks Go!
LET’S GO PETEY
The fans calling it cringe don’t like fun. It’s a passionate market and they’re professionals. They can handle chants
Shoutout this fanbase. Passion meets positivity.
In Petey We Trust… LFG…
So at the watch party on Saturday. We have to chant in all the watch parties and post it so Petey can see it.
“The Petey chants need to stop, they are super Cringe.” – Idiots in the GDT.
Not gonna lie, the chants were awesome to hear. He played a solid game too. Still a tad tentative. But I thought he was also a bit more aggressive than usual. That penalty was complete BS. I liked his game. For me it’s not about him just getting a goal. He needed a game like tonight. Where he strung together multiple good shifts. Also, finally retried that all Swede line. Took way too long. Yeah it wasn’t great after the TDL, but Lindholm was also injured. Wasn’t fair to judge it as a failed experiment now that Lindholm is healthy and playing well.
Anyone got a clip of the chants??
Happy to see the fans support Petey with encouragement instead of crucifying him like Marner in Toronto
I don’t have a voice anymore with all this “Let’s go Petey!”
So worth it!!
I like Donnie and Dhali but wow were they buzz kills for this. So glad the fans did it tonight! Peteys best game of the playoffs.
That winning goal is all petey. Jumps his man, gently catches the puck mid air and sends it to Lindholm and then uses his soccer skills to deflect that pass off the post for miller to bang in. Dude was a beast all night
Been a season ticket holder for most of my life. The vibes in the arena tonight were all time. Topped only by the Olympics and Cup Final.
Petition to start a “E.P. 40” chant like the JT Miller?
Shout-out to my post where I recommended we do this a couple weeks ago and got ridiculed. Too lazy to link, find it yourself.
Edit: I lied here’s the link https://www.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/1cgdjlt/we_should_do_some_kind_of_fan_campaign_for/
How do we make sure he hears the chant in Edmonton. Willing to pay
Tonight’s game could be the turning point for Petey. We can all hope. Let’s hope there’s no game 7. Finish the Oilers off on Saturday on national television. Let the whole country see that we are the real deal.
He’s played in SHL, chants are whats missing in NHL tbh.
