McBackup Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 10 hours ago, N4ZZY said: Really hoping Pettersson's not like as you say. I want the guy to be a Canuck for life. If anyone can break the Sedins offensive records, it would be him. Would hate to see him in another jersey. Get the feeling that he's putting pressure on ownership and management to stop &^@#ing around. I hope so, and obviously I'm just speculating but I don't know. Pettersson in his rookie year developed a bit of a reputation for being somewhat snide and saying whatever was on his mind. Its his personality. He's tempered that for sure but I definitely get the sense he was just being blunt about his intentions. If the Canucks aren't good when he's able to negotiate with others he's not coming back. I also think European players let their guard down a bit when speaking to media in their home countries in their native tongues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 This is unacceptable. This isn't merely a hockey contract - it's a marriage contract, EP. You're expected to commit forever. Not simply 3 or 5 or 8 years. This is about family. There's no leaving the family. Who wouldn't want to marry into this family and the city of Vancouver, forever? Nothing dysfunctional about it at all.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said Petey wants to play in Vancouver, and didn’t understand why anyone would think otherwise. Go to the 650 website and listen. Wich assertion? Petey looked uncomfortable and you see it in his eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you listen to the reporter, who conducted the interview, on the radio this morning? 650 radio. Petey loved Vancouver, and wants to win here. Likely Petey is a guy who marries a local girl, has babies, and makes his full time home here. I saw it in his eyes.

I think Toffoli was a great tease it was like taking you wife out shopping, showing her diamonds and pearls, then giving her a vaccume cleaner for your aniversary people don't forget things like that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I think if there's one thing we should take from all this, it's that we shouldn't be married to the players that play for our team. I'm as guilty as anyone of this, but at the end if the day franchise loyalty doesn't mean much to young players. They'll play wherever they can get the most money and the best chance to win (in that order). There are two things we need to realize. A] As a franchise, we're not special. B] The players that play for us aren't special. Edited August 12, 2021 by 48MPHSlapShot 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
