In my mind, that line was pretty good, especially Petey. Miller was alright, but not as good as usual and Toffoli was pretty soild. I thought it was our bottom six that failed us in that game more than our top six forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen 23 On pace for 40 pts this season. 20g 20a. The devil Ollie Juolevi 22 0 nhl games Second coming of orr. Heard hes being groomed to replace edler as per CDC. i never quite understand fans that never quite understand that each player is unique and different. They will develop at their own pace. Some players just get it right off the bat, you know, like Hughes, or Pettersson, even Horvat, and other players take a few years to mature and get it. Should be okay that each player isn't the same, right? Jake at 23/24 and Pettersson at 21, and Juolevi at 22. I'm just thankful that we have young, up and coming players to be talking about. I remember the days when we talked about Schroeder and Jensen. Jeeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane and Marchand are cornerstone players for their franchises, big difference compared to a guy thats been here 6 seasons, shows up almost every camp out of shape.

Nucker 67 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Pettersson is sensational. A real pro. Never stops trying to get better. Eye on the prize, sets such a great example. He'll do great things, like bring VAN a Cup one day. I wonder what he thinks when he sees certain team mate(s), years older than him, mailing it in, being lazy, getting yelled at by the captain, benched by the coach, getting in the news for the wrong reasons. Never have to worry about Petey. His heart is in the right place. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want either of those two guys on my team. I'd rather have Petey than either one of those guys. In fact, I'd rather have Petey than both those guys. Elite skill doesn't have to come packaged with a bad attitude. Petey proves that over and over. Go Canucks Go!

Oh come now, Its noce to support your own guys and all but try to stay in reality. Kane is almost exactly 10 years older than Petey 10 years ago he had 230 points and 76 goals and a Stanley cup Pete is about 100 point, 21 goals and a Cup shy Next year Marchand will have had a Cup for 10 years ( he is 6 mo older than Kane If Petey is to "prove" he belongs in the conversation with those two, he might want to WIN that cup this season I'm not saying he won't get there, but Petey still has some "proving" to do 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Kane, he was a total POS early in his career, but has developed into a heck of a player and a very good leader. He did really grow up. Marchand is a far better player than I thought he would be, but is still a POS. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying in reality (each player's first two years...Kane didn't have a cup yet either at this point) Another part of staying in reality is that Kane didn't win cups all by himself....this guy named Toews mattered, as did everything just lining up at the right time. Goaltending, health, officiating, coaching (huge), who the opponents were and their status in relation to all those things, etc. all come into play. He was a huge factor for sure...as Petey will be for us. I take nothing away from Kane (or Marchand) ... both superstars in this league. But don't take anything away from Petey, either, as he's going to slide right into that class. Already is/has ... minus the cup part. His team'll have to help him out with that part...it's not solely his doing (or those other guys who have cups). No I in team. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following the Canucks since the first season and I want a cup as much as anyone. But, if possible, and it is possible in my opinion, I'd like to do it with a bit of class. Petey is the guy for me. Go Canucks Go! P.S. - My opinions are my real opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Petey is a guy that will turn up a notch when the game gets bigger. I look forward to see Petey in playoffs action tomorrow night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive watched the Hawks play live many times, and if you took even just half a period just to watch Patrick Kane, he's a wizard with the puck. Him and Panerin were almost like Daniel and Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I in team. well you knowDeb we booth just said the same thing, except I don't give accolades for promise. I did not take anything away from Petey, even though you read it that waY. For my money he was the best Canuck forward last night, which proves your point, Captain Serious 2.0 JT Hossa, Tyler Sharp and Tyler Byfugien all took the night off. but until he HAs done it, lets just keep Petey in the "potential" catagory and fwiw by this date in Kane's lifespan ( not NHL seasons played, years of life) he had just lifted the cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
