Canuck Luck Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) This kid gets paid $90,000 per hockey game. Yet he looks skinny and extremely weak, constantly falling down. He is pathetic so far this year. If this kid doesn't get his s&^t together this team takes another step back. How many steps back do they have to take before HUGE CHANGES happen?

What does this tell you about Pettersson’s commitment and professionalism during the summer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the GMs fault for giving out WAY TOO MUCH money to young guys that have proven very little. This kid looks like s&^t so far this year....pathetic.

Petterson had more points in both of his good years than both 10 million dollar Sedins did in their last 3 seasons. The only thing we'd get for him is someone else's struggling prospect.

MaxVerstappen33 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) I remember years ago ,listening to an interview with a strength and conditioning coach that Ryan Kesler was seeing. The guys business was called Karp or something. This was well before Kesler became elite. It was in his tweener years. The coach said they were specifically training Kesler to be better at protecting the puck. I kinda laughed and thought it was cute. Yeah Kesler is gonna train his way into an elite player. Yet it worked. And Kesler improved and improved into the player we all know. That , is who Elias Petterson has to see. Right now. Edit: This is Karp. http://www.karpfitness.com/high-performance-athlete-training/ With over 20 years of experience and working with thousands of athletes including stars such as Kyle Turris, Ryan Kesler, Kevin Bieksa, and Ryan Johansen, Karp Fitness has a proven track-record of success.

EternalCanuckFan Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This won't fix Pettersson's penchant for falling so far this season, but I would be curious to see the Canucks play Pettersson on wing, as in actually leave C defensive responsibilities out of his scope of on-ice responsibilities. He can be moved back to C in the future, but right now he's really struggling and part of it may be positional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the Canucks will wait until he gets injured and then he is worth zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Remember when Petey held out during camp, saying he wanted to play on a winning team? Maybe he has no clue that he's relied on to be our star. He sure doesn't play like one. Petey signed a 3 year contract so he could assess the Canucks and decide if this is where he wants to continue play after that ends. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. The Canucks can more likely assess him and decide is he is a part of the future or if he should be traded at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Lots of angry posts on this forum lately. Petey will turn it around. The sky is not falling. I am expecting a BIG game out of him tonight. After what happened in COL, everyone on this squad should be chomping at the bit to redeem themselves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Luck Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Let's see if pettersson shows up to earn his $90,000 for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Does anyone know why Petey replaced his stick this offseason? Is it because the doctors think the stick played a role in his wrist injury? That third goal the Canucks surrendered to the Avs is one of many instances this season where his normally hyper-reliable stickhandling has failed him. I also think his poor shooting percentage has a lot to do with the stick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Is Pettersson going to turn this around or is he Yashin 2.0? That is a question that will have huge ramifications for the Canucks going forward. Does anyone know what is going on with him to make him so below his first 2 years performance 15 games into this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post *Buzzsaw* Posted November 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) This slump is all about confidence, not ability. And to give up on this kid because of one 15 game stretch after coming back from a serious injury is stupid.

Yeah he changed sticks, he went from a CCM to a newer brand called Excuses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
