Popular Post -DLC- Posted April 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2019 Thanks, Petey, for one helluva year! You are a true competitor and, even more importantly, a true team player. We are so blessed to have you here. What a way to end the year...with a snipe of a goal just like how you started things off here. See you next year...hold your head high as you receive that trophy! We'll be standing and saluting you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not how evidence works son. Just because goldy gets benched for being lazy or whatever in no way connects to why Petey had a slump. That is called an assumption. Good god. Petterson was ripping up the league with Goldy playing beside him for a very large majority of Oct - end of Nov., Leivo comes into the fold, takes Goldy's place in the top line, Petterson doesn't score as much. Im not saying its the main reason, but it sure as hell is part of it. Theres numbers to back it up, Pettersons most dominant games have come with Goldy and Boeser in the same line. Thats your evidence. 5pt game against St. Louis blues, Goldy was on that line, 7-6 win Colorado, Goldy was on that line, and many others. Why hasn't Leivo been able to replicate that? Good god, youre a moron. Look at the home site CDC under the word "schedule", and then "game calendar", Im not sure if you know since I doubt you've graduated passed the 2nd grade, but a game calendar, shows each game the canucks played. Amazing isn't it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season he will be more prepared but also depends on how hard he will train for the season and how well he recovers during the summerbreak. The mental game is important for someone thats supposed to be racking up the points. Petey has been ok but no points has made it to the board so it just makes the struggle harder. how much he improves physically will definetly have an impact for the next season and hopefully he will mentaly be more prepared during these last stretches of the season, since he will have this years experience with him. Geez thats just an assumption. Do you have any evidence supporting thing? Good GOD!!!! Sorry just buggin you bud, making my best Kanukfanatic impression which is trying to act smart and making stupid comments at the same time. I agree with you though too, EP40 is playing more games in a season in the best league in the world, against the best athletes proffesional hockey has to offer. On any given rookie season, 65 points would be WAY WAY past whatever we have expected, but just the rate EP40 was scoring in the beginning of the season maybe just got us fans over our heads, I mean who wouldn't. The guy in 30 games was on pace for 40 goals and a 100pts. I have no doubt he'll be better next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleThorn Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 So, can someone with a better memory than me, tell me if goal #1 in game #1 and the last goal in game #82 were both EP40 and were the same slapper from the same-ish area ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing isn't it. goldy, while having some skill, is soft as butter and floated around getting secondary assists on Petey's goals or getting fed easy peasy goals himself. I am sure you know much more than the coaching staff does. Maybe give them a call and tell them goldy is the reason Petey got so many points... Hopefully the Canucks are able to get an actual top 6 left winger to play with Petey. Trade goldy for whatever they can get for him (won't be much unfortunately).

Quickly couple points: Petey/Goldy - start of the year, Petey is fresh, league doesn't know him, games are not that intense as later in the year. Petey/Leivo - middle of the year, Petey had already some injuries, fatigue and grind is starting to have effect. Teams are adjusting to Petey. Not saying Leivo is better, however in order to compare one to one, you need to compare the situation and all other impacts. I honestly wish Goldy would find his game and be the best of himself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup you've brought up good points as well as the other guys have about the competition being tougher, and fatigue, I get that, I never said Goldy was the reason, but he did help. By November, teams were already gunning for Petey already, and he was still producing at a torrid pace. I think people forget that Boeser was out for a period of time I think November or December and EP40 and Goldy were still producing. The thing that needs be pointed out is just the massive drop off in EP40's production. I can understand there will be a drop off with fatigue and the grind of the season. But when his pace was 40 - 50 goals, 100 pts before the new year to having a 11 game goal less streak, not many points since the all star break, theres a cause for concern. If you go to the barber and take a few inches off your hair, some people may notice, some people may not, but you go for a complete buzz cut, I think people would notice the difference which Im trying to point out. EP40's production just went completely south and his play as well, theres way more games where he was pretty much invisible, thats not a ringing endorsement for a guy that earlier in the season was being compared to 99. Goldy's got deficiancies in his game which I hope he addresses in the off season but the team isn't at a position to be giving up on prospects with one real season under their belt.

The drop in points, don't you think it has something to do with taking a more defensive role and trying to hit players? It takes a lot of energy to do that when you're a creative player and used to get around a problem, not smash into it. I remember one time when he tried to hit a player. He lost focus instantly and went straight to the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenAlien Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) All this talk about Pettersson's drop in production, possible injuries, teams adjusting to him, etc., a huge part is just his shooting percentage coming down to earth. He basically started to taper out after the All Star break -- in the 31 games after the break, he only scored 5 goals. In the 40 games before that, he scored 23 goals. But as of early February, Petey's shooting percentage was around 27-28%. Here are the career averages of some of the league's best goal scorers: Ovechkin: 12.6% Tavares: 13.3% Stamkos: 16.9% Kucherov: 14.8% Matthews: 15.5% Laine: 15.9% DeBrincat: 17.2% MacKinnon: 9.8% Mike Bossy, in his career (1977 - 1987), shot 21.2%, and this is during the high scoring, dynasty era when goalies were about half the size of their modern day counterparts. Petey is good, but he's not that good. Petey took 62 shots in his last 31 games, which is about par for the course as he took 144 shots in 71 games overall. If his shooting percentage held up, he would've scored 17 goals on 62 shots, which would give him 40 goals on the year. No one would be talking if he ended the season with 40 goals. Sure, some of it could be fatigue, some of it might be luck, but just basic law of math dictates that his shooting percentage must drop. Petey's shooting percentage is now at 19.4%, and I wouldn't be surprised if it drops to the 15-17% range next year. He could easily end up with more goals by upping his shots per game, plus he's a great playmaker so he could wound up with more assists too. However, the reason he was once on pace for 40-50 goals is because he was on an incredible hot streak; in the 14 seasons since the lockout, not a single player scored at 27+% for an entire season.

Great research, friend. It's not surprising that EP's shooting percentage normalized. As exciting as his start was, we all knew that a percentage over 25 was unsustainable. Even being over 15% is high in today's day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
