Canuck Luck Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hopefully Elias "bambi" Pettersson learns to stay upright with this new coach in charge. The falling down every 30 seconds thing has gotten old real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogy Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Well, instead of trying to figure out what he would do carrying the puck, now Pettersson can try to figure out the opposing players during PK and decide what he is going to do in response. PK may be a good fit for Pettersson's overthinking nature. He may be better at disrupting the puck carrier than carrying the puck himself and make a play.

DownUndaCanuck Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I'm glad Bruce has put Petey on the PK, it'll be good for his development and hopefully teach him some more defensive awareness. As a rookie everyone was amazed by how strong his defensive positioning and stick work was, then that really slipped as Green just gave him free-rein and couldn't care less about his defensive structure. Now on the PK he'll have to learn how to block a shot every now and then and get in lanes, and he may well get some more offensive chances as well out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Last night's shootout was another proof that Petey's having a hard time stickhandling. There has been too much of these stickhandling issues this season so I figured perhaps either it's the wrist or the new stick or some other injury or something mental. My son (who played center at a decent level) and I were chatting about it, and he was wondering if perhaps Petey somehow had a late growth spurt that necessitated getting a new stick...

PK may be a good fit for Pettersson's overthinking nature. He may be better at disrupting the puck carrier than carrying the puck himself and make a play. I also think that with Garland and Podkolzin as wingers, Petey can focus more on facilitating the plays rather than driving the play like he used to. Whenever I watch Bergeron, I always feel like, this guy isn't very noticeable... well, until when he needs to be noticed. He focusses on facilitating play for his all star wingers and lets them drive the play. But he is always in the right position and available at the right time to either facilitate a play, like keeping the puck in the offensive zone or to break up a play in the defensive zone to spring Marchand on a breakaway and etc. Maybe Petey can model his game after Bergeron. You don't always have to be noticeable or make fancy plays. Focus on facilitating plays and let the wingers drive the play.

If Petey uses this season to become an every situation player, that's a huge win for us. Boudreau and Walker seem like the perfect mentors for him.

You are correct sir. Pouting on the bench after missing his shot didn't even bother to cheer Miller on after putting him in the hot seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johngould21 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 By far his best game, pre last season injuries. Skating, checking, faceoffs, and a huge smile on his face after his game winning goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
