He’s right, it was sh!t, no fault of his own. Now we can move on
And the Canucks medical staff and management didn't think it would have been a good idea to place him on LTIR?
A healthy Pettersson plus the cap flexibility to add another impact player….. we would be talking about Canucks in the conference final right now.
No it was his fault considering he pulled this crap lol year long and was not called out for the hot and extremely ice cold he got.
That was bad coaching/ managment to not rest petterson and should have played demko less
'You cant pay a 3rd line center 7 mil' and thats why this team will never win a cup..lindholm was there best player in playoffs besides miller..uncommited to winning and cheap owners..vegas and florida its no problem..farhan knows less then he thinks
Feels petey could also benefit from sports psychologist like McKinnon
If the Canucks are serious about being a playoff contender… They cannot roll on with Hughes and Pettersson. 2 undersized hi end players occupying so much of the salary is not tenable in 7 game wars. If they do keep them they absolutely must surround them with deterrents and larger fwds to offset.
If he has tendinitis of the knee, why was he never rested? Why was he called out as a “passenger?” And so far, he’s the only Canuck who has revealed an undisclosed injury in the postseason. Does this not seem weird?
time for summer break
I'm not buying it..
Trade Petterson and use the money to sign Lindholm, Zidora, Cole, Tyler and Joshua !!!
