Can't believe people are suggesting bench Petey. Because we have such great depth..

 

Its his first real pointless slump, let him work through it. 

Benching is definitely not the answer. He just needs a break to get going. It seems completely a confidence issue. It’ll happen eventually, but benching him isn’t going to get him there faster.

3 shots.  seriously.

With like 3 wide open missed nets though. We've had chances.

Come on Petey

[Disgruntler]

Would be cool to see them win a puck race sometime.

[Dirtman]

I can't with this defense.

[stawns]

I'm a fan of Green, but to me it looks like this team has quit on him

Hate him more than TT

I think the 2019 World Juniors will be the only time I liked him.

Got a motor, that's for sure

Look at all of that pressure caused when Hughes was in front all the way through the hashmarks

EP is completely lost out there!!!  Some one give him one of those guide dogs...preferably trained to skate and shoot the puck

Well, not benching isn't working

I don't pretend to know what systems they're playing but we can't exit our zone or enter their zone with possession. Ever. 

Nope our system is to collapse down low and turn back under pressure 

 

it does not work, like turning your back in a gunfight 

[DS4quality]

Petey out Loui in next game?

Meanwhile it’s usually the complete opposite for every single team we play against. 

[Green Building]

lmao "bench Pettersson"  

 

He's a young kid going through a slump that just needs a bounce or a break. Stapling him to the pine ain't gonna help that.

[MikeyD]

Also Mac is having a great game so far. Missed him in our lineup.

Up until that last shift probably more than MTL. Or atleast fairly even.

 

Too bad Boeser couldn't quite get that last one, was a great play.

Personally I think Petey needs to put on about 20-30 pounds in the next year and a bit, he needs to bulk up a bit and fill out a little more, needs to be a little more solid on his skates.

Bumgardner’s complete ineptitude in full bloom right now. 

Don’t forget Green in all this, Baumer is not the end all voice.
