Pettersson needs to toughen up, gain some weight and not fall down every shift. The twins took 5 years to learn not to fall down EP may take that long the biggest problem the Canucks have is no toughness . They need someone that can pound anyone that steps out of line. The skilled players need to have room and feel safe. Every good team has a player that will challenge goonish players if need be. Horvat needs to step up in this area grow a pair. Myers will at times but a forward needs to step up. A soft team will not win in this league. JB needs to throw out his money ball book . I think JB and Green both had their lunch money taken away when they were kids.
I say put Stan Smyl interim GM running the show and Shaw as coach. fire everyone . Stan bleeds Vancouver colors . Hire the Hunters as your next GM and coach take FAs door pass away.
I think we should take JBs copy of Money Ball away from him.
JB would not know a good defensemen from a bad one, his failure to draft a top four de-man is very telling.
Benning put this together Players, Coaching all on him. They had a winning formula and failed to keep that team together. They should have kept them together one more yeay. Looking at what they should have done and did . Markstrom Tanev and Toffoili should have been kept . Demko trade could have gotten a good young defenseman . Virtanen could have been traded . Travis Green needs to be replaced. Benning fired.
You are right about that Pettersson needs to be benched when he plays like a tabby cat . He is not our best player and is not worth his paycheck right now.
Pettersson needs to do something besides loosing the puck falling down and missing the net every time he gets the puck. His skating looks average at best.
Wow name calling , I have the right 50 years of being a fan, watched reaching just about the top 3 times. Skill goes along way but size on the back end gets the job done. You as fan have a right to have an opinion so do I.
