    You get a great goal scorer like Petey and everyone seems to want to put their stamp on him.  Start refining his game and focusing on things that maybe have taken away from "his" game...which was instinctual and something special.  Have they wrecked Petey by having a to do list for him when, really, what he just needs to do is score?  By focusing on other things he "should be" doing now he's not doing the one thing he was really good at.  It's mind boggling.

     

    I get that he's doing "other" things...but we had a "little things" guy and we need a pure goal scorer.  We had that in Petey.  I'm really starting to feel these coaches are over coaching some of our guys and need to tap in to their natural abilities first and foremost.  

     

    Who knows (I certainly don't).  Petey appears to really be struggling with the mental game right now and that's a huge hurdle to overcome.  But scoring a few highlight reel goals can bring that all back into focus.  

    Holding on to this coach and GM is got us into 5th last and sinking fast ,LOL

    You need to fire the coach

    [Proposal] Trade Petterson

    in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing

    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.

    Is Pettersson not the same player we expect him to be?

    Not haters, just not brown nosers who got their noses up Petey’s ass.

     

    I hope Petey gets going again but the eye test has shown me that he's slow and weak on the puck this year, red flags that have been popping up since his rookie year.  Hope he proves me wrong and all the other who expect him to produce after acting like a Prima donna and working harder on his Twitter than on the ice… if he had 80+ points in the first 2 seasons of his career he’d probably pull a Marner and demand north of $10 mil. Glad he didn’t. 
     

    like I said. We all like Pettersson, hell I am still considering a Pettersson jersey (Demko may have taken that spot with his ridiculous playing)  I think some are just upset at his actions.


    Here are some facts of the situation:

     

    Putsgoalsin (3 shots 6 hits 1 Goal) had more impact on the Game last night with 7 min playing time than Petey (3 shots 1 secondary assist) with 22 min playing time


    Horvat, Miller, Garland, Hughes, Chaisson, Boeser, Dowling, and Podz have more goals than Petey,

     

    Miller, Garland, Hughes, and Horvat all have more points than Petey. 
     

    If Petey wasn’t on the PP he would only have 2 points this season.

     

    Petey showed up late out of shape and hasn’t produced like he claimed he does in order to make more money than anyone one the team.  Night in night out he is not the hardest working player on the ice by a long shot. Are his legs injured too? Because he doesn’t skate like someone who is trying to bust a slump. 

     

     

     

     

     

    I agree Pettersson needs to step it up, send him to the press box for a couple of games . Let that sink in.

    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.

    Best player we ever had lol. Pettersson isn't even the best player on our current roster.

    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.

    Can you let me know what it's like to be perpetually negative, immature and seeking attention on a hockey forum?! Just curious! 

    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.
