[Report] Sam Bennett suspended 3 games

Should be 5 -
That was awesome and way more thought put into than my comment deserved. Lol. All I meant was you don’t pay full price for something that obviously isn’t as good as it was the day/year before.

He was joking because JR has traded Pearson in the past -

What’s the difference? Yeah, there were 4000 people reported the other day. ICU only went up by like 6 and hospitalized are still under 200 people. They aren’t using common sense or taking into account all the information at hand. More scared bull’ish from the wishy washy Bonny Horgan duo, backed by our bobble head PM. (I’m not a conservative, I just think they are all potato heads). -

While I think he is a frozen turd out there this year, trading him would be silly. Especially just for a shot at the playoffs this year. We aren’t a contender. At this point, we aren’t a playoff team. Wait until next season and see if he pulls it together. It looks as if he has written off this season already, but I have hopes he will come back next year. -

1 shot for Pettersson tonight. But hey….. the effort is there and he feels really bad about it. Hahahahahahah -
Wow. Who buys a year old sandwich? It was obviously not a serious response, kind of like you thinking any team is going to pay for Petey like he is still that almost PPG player. Value changes year to year. His return to form isn’t guaranteed, and it doesn’t look like he will any time soon. Hopefully he does, but no one is going to pay like this year hasn’t happened. Having said all that, yeah…. People thinking trading him right now are dumb. Why wait until his value plummets before trading him?
-
Do you pay full price for a sandwich because of what it tasted like a year ago? Or do you try to get it for half off? hahahah While I think he is an overpaid disaster this year, I think people saying trade him at all are dumb.

Who is this PPG 1st liner you speak of? I don’t want to trade Miller!

Fair enough. I don’t believe we will see peak Pettersson this season. I really hope I get to eat a big old plate of crow, but I just don’t see it this season. I don’t see the ‘old Petey’ back check. Maybe a bit more tempo, but nothing like he should be or has shown before. I was actually really surprised the coaching change didn’t do more for him. It obviously helped everyone else. -

I haven’t given up on him. I hope he bounces back. I just haven’t seen a single thing that says he will, other than pouting and stick slamming. It seems haven’t read any of our conversation. Lol I really hope he bounces back, I just wish he would show he wants to in ways other than whining. Like putting in a furious pace and big back checking efforts. -

Being cool with mediocrity is less attractive than being critical of underperforming all stars. I had patience for the first 15 games. -

10 games for McDavid, followed by a run that put him back to the top of the league. There wasn’t anything in his play that said we wouldn’t get out of it. We are at 33 with Petey. It isn’t a comparison at all, and he shows no signs of getting out of it. Sure. I’ll ignore the money. Top line, top line mates, top PP time. Still not producing. Money aside, being put in that position demands production, whether it’s 1mill or 7.35. Everyone else turned it around. Miller isn’t a comparison either. Sure he showed visible frustration, he also showed he was working his ass off on both sides of the puck to help the team. He has also been producing the entire time. I just don’t agree with you. Ive seen him straight up give up on many plays. The fiesty defensive backcheck effort just isn’t there. If you aren’t scoring, you better be playing your butt off on the other end. All the bitterness toward him is 100% deserved. That’s what happens when you get to that level. Whether you like it or not, in a salary cap world, money matters. Being the top paid guy means you don’t get that patience anymore. You are the guy who the team depends on, and you get paid millions more than everyone because of it. Like I said before, no one complains when Hoglander isn’t scoring, and if I saw half the effort that hogs puts out from Petey, I wouldn’t say a thing. -

I’m sorry Deb, but the patients is over. The kid held out for big money he hadn’t fully earned yet. Put himself above the team and missed camp. Highest paid Canuck getting all star money. We are over 30 games. Enough is enough. Quit slamming your stick on the ice and pouting Start putting in real effort. Where is the defensive game he used to have? That’s not confidence issues, it’s lack of effort 100%. You don’t need to be confident in your skills to skate as hard as you can and not give up on the puck. No one complains when Hoglander isn’t scoring. Petey put himself in this position. I don’t have to feel bad for him, and I don’t care if he feels bad about himself. 7.35mill. Probably 25 games out of 33 have been Meh to bad. That’s unacceptable. -

I just couldn’t disagree more. This is a results based game, and he has had almost nothing but poor results. If he was being a defensive monster while not scoring, sure. But nope. Doesn’t even look like he is trying. completely irrelevant. He makes 7.35 million a season to be our best player and produce. It is not ok to get shut down by the LA Kings, regardless of who is covering him. It sounds more like you are ignoring all the games that add up to this one. No he didn’t. One ok pass doesn’t make a top 6 games. Don’t try to help us. Maybe take the rose coloured glasses off and see what help Petey needs instead. -

This isn’t like a bad goalless drought though. This is an effort and confidence drought. He is playing frustrated. Tries to make a play, it doesn’t work, gets more frustrated. Game over. -

OEL is fine. I like him. I used him as an example because tons of people cry about his contract. Im not concerned who EP is playing against. That’s just another excuse, and kinda saying “if he wasn’t matched up against Danault, he would have been fine”. Which we all know is BS. He could be matched against Jake Virtanen and still get shut down. He has been a disappointment in about 98% of the games this year. He sucks, and he knows it. I really don’t know what needs to be done to fix him, but it doesn’t look like much is going to do it. Classic Canuck luck. We finally get a franchise center, and somehow he turns to mush. That 7.5 mill is going to be a huge burden if he doesn’t magically return next year. -

Poor game but a decent enough outcome. We didn’t deserve to win. Oh, and Pettersson is tits on a log. The kid is totally useless. His effort level looks minimal every game. It’s like he has lost his confidence and has no interest in getting it back. It’s quite unfortunate that he is becoming the biggest cap issue on the team. Even OEL is closer to being worth his contract than Petey.
