THIS IS GETTING REALLY CONCERNING FOR THE CANUCKS… ELIAS PETTERSSON STRUGGLES + JONATHAN LEKKERIMAKI

[Music] what was it that Uncle Ben said again oh yeah right fill your cup of rice with 3/4 water and then put in the microwave no not that with great power comes great responsibility that is what Uncle Ben said right but when it comes to the Vancouver connect I think it’s finally time to go out there and talk about the guy who has arguably been failing the most in that respect he has a lot of power he has a lot of responsibility but he has not really been fulfilling it much let’s talk about Alias peton because earlier this morning we had ourselves the what do they call this an off-day press conference where Alias Pon spoke to the media Following last night’s game against the Oilers and this is a bizarre video like actually no it wasn’t from this morning it was from an hour ago I’ll leave a link in the description if you want to go ahead and listen to it it’s 6 minutes long and it’s just questions and answers with Alias Pon and the weird thing about this was that you know people like to talk about body language right like oh JT Miller has body language oh he doesn’t look like he wants to answer questions or on the ice he’s demotivated he’s slamming the back of the net he’s like yelling at his guys like people talk about body language all the the time but Alias Pon and his body language I feel like it’s going under the radar a little bit because even before this video this press conference of him that came out and we’ll talk about that a little bit later but even before that there were the moments in the games where Alias Pon would go to his knees after missing a shot or he just kind of gets into the battle he gets shoved around a little bit he falls down and he takes a little bit of time to get up he looks skywards way too many times because he’s not hitting the net and all that it’s body language body language body language and in this interview the guy’s body language like I think somebody said it in the subreddit the guy like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh guy looks sad guy looks completely out of it and like he says the right things I don’t want to discredit py for stepping up to the media whether it’s him or the team or Rick tet that puts themselves in a spot where it’s like yeah pet you want to go up and he’s like yes I need to do this I need to be the guy to address the media on a day off or not a day off I mean no days off in the playoffs right but in an off day where you’re not playing a hockey game it’s got to be py and for some reason you know the guy’s body language has me completely concerned he drags on some of the words I mean he says he’s a little bit nasy still because of some sort of I don’t know they didn’t say it was like he’s sick but but it’s kind of like there’s a thing going around you know even I still got it a bit but just the way he’s answering these questions too the guy sounds really sad and some of these answers he does take a lot of accountability but he doesn’t really dive too deep into what things he can change in order to fix whatever is going on with him in his game there’s a lot of I want to be a Difference Maker maybe it’s the players that I’m playing with but at the end of the day like I’m in control of what I have and it was hard getting to sleep last night and with all of this you know you can tell that it’s weighing a lot on Alias Pon his inefficiency in the postseason so far but also it’s like what do the Canucks have to do to get this guy going Rick toet said in the press conference yesterday yeah pey’s got to get going I don’t know what else there is to say but Pet’s got to get going and then we had like Bruce Buro talking about this on TV saying that the guy has completely lost his confidence Pon that is not talk it and then it was John Garrett on Donnie and Dolly yesterday Pon is not confident like this guy is just a completely different player than what we saw at the beginning of the year when he was one of the best players in the league in scoring and in January where he brought himself back up to that status there were two really amazing stins where he was producing points and points and goals like crazy and he was moving his feet and he was getting involved and he was scoring a lot it was those two the beginning of the season in January but ever since February Pon has kind of slowed down and it’s gotten even worse when the games matter the most and I have no doubt that Alias pson the player will finish the $1 million contract that he is on till the beginning of the 2030s and we’re going to look at him as one of the legends of this team like he’ll be fine I give it 8 years yeah he’ll probably figure it out in 8 years and he’s a good enough player to justify that $1 million price tag over that time span but right now in 2024 at the beginning of that the contract hasn’t even kicked in yet like he’s still making just seven but this is the guy that has all the expectations on him he’s supposed to be the best player on the team and he’s been like what 10th best you could say who’s been better than pets in this playoff Run Okay thra Demco cases Smith arter seov the three goalies I’d say have been more impactful and better than Pon so yeah Demco even only played one game so that’s kind of damning but those three will add on Brock besser We’ll add on JT we’ll add on Quinn We’ll add on Dakota Joshua Conor Garland Elias lindome for sure and Nita zorov that’s 10 guys that’s not even talking about the defensive shutdown qualities of guys like Tyler Meers and Carson Susi the team has had some passengers the past little while and you know the question has come out as to whether or not Rick toet playing Pon with guys like laery and mckv is part of the problem like it’s been long enough that everybody’s saying oh should you play Pon with Joshua and Garland should you play Pon with Miller and besser full-time try to get him going again but that’s kind of the thing peton is the caliber a player where he should be able to be going no matter who it is he plays with I mean Sydney Crosby made Chris kunet an Olympian Henrik and Daniel sadine made Alex Burrows a 30 goal score good players elevate those around them and under most circumstances they still look like good players Pon has been as much of a passenger as Elia mck and lafy have been and now conversations have Arisen as to whether or not the conu should even start a guy like janathan laraki in the lineup put him in he’s already with the team he’s with the abbottsford Canucks and he got brought up I mean him Alias pedon the other one bunch of other dudes are with the team right now here’s a fall chology went out there and tweeted earlier this afternoon asked about the possibility of playing someone like laraki who has never played an NHL game in the lineup in game five taket says I’m swinging the bat I’m not scared he didn’t commit to playing laraki but it sounds like a real consideration he says he wants to get all the Intel first and think about that would that not be like the craziest thing laraki I’ve seen a lot of people like my buddy sap talks about this a lot how laraki is not an option because he’s fresh out of Sweden he just finished up the season over there he doesn’t have any NHL experience but the point is he’s good like he’s good at scoring he’s got offensive instincts he’s got probably the best shot on the team already like aside from Brock besser in his prime and Pon in his prime like laraki is nobody’s match when it comes to Raw shooting ability so would it not be interesting to think about okay put Pon on the fourth line playing with laraki give them extremely sheltered minutes your only task is to go out there and score peton get it to the kamaki if this guy can get the puck on edit in that’s the task is that not an idea that you at least think about not because it’s a no-brainer but because it’s thinking outside of the box and if the kaks need goals like yesterday they could have used some more goals they didn’t do anything for the first 40 minutes of the game no goals no nothing until Connor Garland and Dakota Joshua ended up getting goals in the third but it was too little too late as Evan Bard was able to come back and win the game at the end but for laraki is this an option he is already one of the most offensively potent guys in the lineup but do you use him he’s extraordinarily raw I wouldn’t be surprised if taket just said no sorry like you are too inexperienced to play nah we’ll just put PDG when he comes back in that’s it but if they try this if they try to get PD going by playing him with laraki hey guess what laraki couldn’t be any worse than Elia mck and Neil hoglander right I don’t know man we’ll see but let me know your thoughts in the comment section below about Alias Pon what the hell’s going on with him and whether or not laraki could actually be the guy to step in and maybe fix this who really knows thoughts in the comment section I’ll leave a link in the description to the Alias Pon press conference because it’s a very interesting video too I hope you enjoyed this vsh as99 and bye [Music] [Music]
