-AJ- Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I firmly believe that his slump is confidence and mentality-based, not effort-based. He will eventually break out of it, but who knows how long it will take. A coaching change might be what's necessary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So every time the highest paid Canucks forward craps his pants we have to fire the coach? Does this sound like a franchise player that can lead the team to the Cup? Is this really the type of player that fans should cheer for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in Vancouver Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 7 hours ago, filthycanuck said: Yeah he changed sticks, he went from a CCM to a newer brand called Excuses Here's the news article on his stick change and how he's not using that as an excuse: https://www.healthing.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-elias-pettersson-knows-he-must-be-better/. Pettersson admitted Friday that he’d switched to a slightly longer version of the Bauer Vapor HyperLite stick in the off-season. He also opted to make it stiffer. Those are subtle changes which give a shooter more power in their slap shot but they can make for a different puck-handling experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When so much of the roster is underperforming, it's reasonable to question the coach. Furthermore, a simple eye-test to me shows that Petey isn't slacking. Finally, the character I've seen from Petey over the first few years does not match a "Virtanen" kind of guy who would float. He's one of the most competitive guys I've seen on the Canucks.

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?

*Buzzsaw* Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Pettersson played better in the Anaheim game... didn't accomplish a whole lot, but he was trying hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly does look lost, but worse yet, is that has he checked out of Green and the coaching staff? I was listening to the post-game show on Sportsnet, and this one caller pointed out that when King was trying to draw up a play on the pp, Pettersson left the huddle shaking his head. And then Miller. What's going on here? We are now into November, it's a month almost into the new season, and Petey's what? Still behind? By the time he gets up to speed, it might be over for the team. I mean, we hope he's not that kind of player that gets paid, and then quits trying. If he is, then Thank God it's only three years. He can become someone else's problem. I am beginning to wonder if Pettersson and Boeser both have lingering Covid. would the Canucks even check? Sutter played 10 games after Covid last year, then comes down with Long Haul in the Summer. I would make sense that other players have effects also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firstname Lastname Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I wonder if Petey has been trying to put on weight in the offseason, that might affect his speed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're trying to fight through it? But if they have lingering covid, they shouldn't be playing.

This will be the worse that Petey becomes. I'm looking forward to vintage Pettersson getting back. At least he's trying right? He probably feels really bad if Green gets canned. Surprised that there are no rumors considering tonight's loss. Quiet before the storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about this when the team first got sick. Not Petey and Brock specifically, but the study below says 27-33% of cases become long haul Studies show long-haul COVID-19 afflicts 1 in 4 COVID-19 patients, regardless of severity (ucdavis.edu) the numbers suggest that about 5-7 Canucks could get Long Haul - Sutter is one It would not surprise me if Sutter's career is over, if he just never makes it back to playing strength. I wonder what the Canucks did in the way of testing and long term care ? Sutter signed when he was still sick Hamonic signed while being unvaxed Arizona players + Podkolzin seem steadier than many of the players who went through covid with the Canucks I don't think re-infection is an issue, as the infectious period is before symtoms I doubt Sutter is a risk to others, but I am no expert. I watched the beginning of the exit interview with Sutter, he only talked abut shoulder injury Edited November 15, 2021 by lmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 What Petey needs to do : 1) change his stick 2) be shown his own highlight reel 3) go shoot 500 pucks each day w/ Boeser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
