Young player learning a lot , he’s 25 I don’t think we are talking buy out at this point or we shouldn’t be anyways . I think Elias Petterson is a wonderful hockey player and still has room to grow physically. Sedins weren’t affective until they were 25 -26 . I’m not ready to shut the door on an 100 point 25 year old . Give me a break . It’s been frustrating though to say the least .
Taylors right, as usual, 😊. i do like Daliwal sticking up for EP40, but at that price, I'm not willing to wait 5 years or so for him to muscle up and get good
What made Petey great? A fearless, offensively driven player who made opposing teams nervous with the puck on his stick. His slapshot was wickedly hard and when he got in a position to score, he didn’t blink.
Now, we have a double clutching, scared to shoot, scared to engage, lackadaisical skater who hasn’t an ounce of creativity and is 0 threat offensively. He’s easily knocked off the puck because he’s not moving and he refuses to shoot when part of our PP is designed for him to rip it. SMH
Hes not hurt, there is no reason we keep a player who's not producing in the lineup when he's hurt. Draisaitl is playing hurt and the guy is a monster out there. Hes just not playing well. He needs to re set next season and get his head straight.
There is nothing physically wrong with Petey. The problem is between his ears. Petey needs someone to talk to. Not trying to be funny with this either. Watch his last interview its like he's checked out on life. It looks really bad.
Several points: 1) why tf does Petey spend all offseason travelling, going to Dubai, on yachts? Get in the fucking gym. 2) why do we stand and give their stars all day to make a play?? We need to be pressuring them at least a little bit, especially on the power play. 3) I hate the way the NHL is reffed. Regular season and playoff hockey are nothing alike. Other sports don’t do this. At least not nearly to this degree. The cross checks people are getting away with are absurd.
I think Pettersson's confidence is shot, and this year's playoffs may be a lost cause for the guy. If he is injured, you cannot disclose to the public that he is hurt, or he would be targeted and risk further, more substantial injuries. I had questions about the Canucks going all in as I feared that it would take some seasoning for guys like Hughes, Pettersson, and even Boeser, some playoff experience to really know how to win in the post-season. Obviously, everyone player responds to playoff pressure differently, with Boeser clearly thriving while Pettersson just folding… but the winning window for this team was not this season when the season started, and maybe we should not expect it to be even though they had a great regular season. Pettersson may need some sports psychologist, like the person who worked with Boeser, to turn things around long-term.
as a team we are way ahead of "schedule" this year, division winners and in the 2nd round. many deficiencies required upgrades and that is what got us here. there will continue to be positional upgrades and the EP line needs high level skill. so it seems EP is carrying the burden of "we're not there yet" but that doesn't explain the solemn press conference today. it was about as energetically opposite of NHL playoff energy that a NHL player in the playoffs could possible muster. if this funk goes back to the forced contract signing well that is a whole other barrel of destructive monkeys that i don't even want to think about. he is here to win, this i believe, so let's do it! wake TFU and play your hard, strong game tonight!
It's a suffocating market and anyone that thinks the money should be enough of a motivator to work has their head in the clouds. He's gaining the experience he needs and tonight's lining up to be a huge moment for him and the team. This is the night we need him most and it's been laid in his lap, media-wise. I'm a homer believer, but I'm swaying to the side of him being a huge factor instead of the slouch the pundits are painting him as. This guy is a mega talent that will prove his doubters wrong.

Who were his line mates when he was scoring on fire? It’s not a hard question.
So be it…. he's making 4 million more than the next highest player on the team. Something is not right.
Pettersson is on the path to be the next OEL
HE'S NOT INJURED. IT'S NOT HIS LINEMATES. PETTERSSON SUCKS. STOP MAKING EXCUSES

Who is this player? Cause it sure ain’t Petey right now

he sounds like he is congested, maybe sick or allergies, but the energy at that presser today was painful to experience.

I think something is wrong with his head, like a depression issue. That’s really all that makes sense to me. You can see it all over his face.
Pettersson is paid to make players around him better?
let everyone know he's injured!?!?! Dhali , is this your first time watching play-off hockey?
Petey is a coward
Absolutely crazy to even bring up Loui Erickson…
He’s got a groin ailment

He's not hurt, or he would have been sat down weeks ago. Probably had a long talk with Loui after signing that contract.
D&D the leaders of the Petey firing squad.
