Petey is our modern day Bure. Appreciate him while you can. He won't be around forever, and when he is gone you will wish you appreciated him more. This happened to me when Bure was traded. I was depressed for a long time...

Selke trophy race update (January 30, 2023): https://thehockeywriters.com/2022-23-selke-trophy-tracker/ 5. Jordan Staal 4. Mitch Marner 3. Elias Pettersson 2. Nico Hischier 1. Patrice Bergeron The case surrounding Elias Pettersson is complicated. Based on his overall play, he deserves to be in the Selke Trophy race, but because the Vancouver Canucks are virtually eliminated from the playoffs, some voters may use that factor against him. Regardless of team results, it is hard to argue that the former 2017 fifth-overall pick hasn’t developed into one of the elite two-way centers in the game. To properly break down Pettersson’s play, his 2.68 XGA/60 is the best metric to use. The reason is that when he is on the ice, the Canucks have a team save percentage of 89.43%, which is a major factor as to why his GA/60 is currently at 3.24. With Rick Tocchet now behind the bench in Vancouver and a more defensively-minded system being put into place, it should highlight just how strong he is in his own zone.

Gretzky, Bure and Foppa for me… -
We’ve had the 2nd overall pick twice and got bumped to 5 both times. So I’m not too confident we will get a top 3 pick even if we finish 2nd last. Also, we have no hope to finish last or second last. Anaheim and Columbus are worse than us, even if we don’t play Petey. Our best hope is to finish 3rd last. Which means we will get the 5 pick as per our luck, so no shot at Carlsson either.

Wow, you even missed the Sakic and Foppa years. Those were awesome. Foppa is probably my second favourite player of all time. Those Colorado and Detroit games were epic. I guess you missed the 1994 Cup final as well. Oh boy, what a ride that was. I remember there were some dudes who actually drove a car dressed up in all Canucks colours all the way to New York. It was batsh*t crazy. This city was absolute bonkers for two months. It was incredible. Better than 2011 IMO. I’ll never forget that year. The summer sucked though as everyone was depressed. I’m just waiting for Petey to lead us to another wild ride. I really hope it happens.
