I am saying I don’t think the problems he is having can be fixed this season. He’s looked like he has lost speed and strength. Those are things he needs to focus on to get better. Power in his stride. He can’t pull away from anyone and gets knocked off the puck so easily. One of the biggest assets he had in his first year was he was hard on the puck and was hard to get knocked off of it. This year he gets bumped and falls down. Again I don’t want to trade him. I just think what we see this year is what we are going to get and it is very frustrating because there is not much that can be done. He should try to reinvent himself this year. Focus down on becoming an actual C. Defense and faceoffs. Play away from the puck. Off-season focus on strength and speed. His offensive skills aren't lost they're just handicapped by his speed/strength. The Petey before would battle through but with his size the wear and tear probably has a greater effect, especially when you're body isn't filled out. 176lbs is not enough at 6'2'' unless you skate like the wind. Even McDavid is like 195lbs. Edited January 2, 2022 by Junkyard Dog 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think what we see this year is what we are going to get and it is very frustrating because there is not much that can be done. That's 100% my take too. I would be shocked if he turned it around this season since he doesn't even show glimpses of the old Petey. This isn't just a case of gripping the stick too tight, this is a case of him being a completely different player right now. I can't recall the last time he deked a defender out when he used to be a human ankle breaking machine. I think the injury recovery, poor training in the summer (and possibly focusing too hard on his "brand"), missing training camp, pressures of the contract created a perfect storm for this lackluster season. If he puts in a HUGE effort this summer, I believe he'll be back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give him to the TDL to prove that he's worth at least a fraction of his nearly $8 million. Barring that, he's pretty much useless to us at this point. While I think he is a frozen turd out there this year, trading him would be silly. Especially just for a shot at the playoffs this year. We aren’t a contender. At this point, we aren’t a playoff team. Wait until next season and see if he pulls it together. It looks as if he has written off this season already, but I have hopes he will come back next year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 That was a hell of a game played. Great support defensively and offensively, great forecheck, great hustle (aside from Petey, who has taken to giving up on plays lately). Pearson and Hoglander are THRIVING under Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant expect him to undo all the damage Green did in such a short time. He’s dealt with stars like Petey before. He knows what makes them tick. I say be patient until he comes around and starts going on a tear and then make a move. Don't repeat past mistakes based on emotion. Sell high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the difference? Yeah, there were 4000 people reported the other day. ICU only went up by like 6 and hospitalized are still under 200 people. They aren’t using common sense or taking into account all the information at hand. More scared bull’ish from the wishy washy Bonny Horgan duo, backed by our bobble head PM.

Demko, Vezina-like. Are we paying petey to be defensively responsible? Aka LE 2.0 playing on 3rd line... I sure hope not... hope he is saving his legs for the playoffs! And start to explode there.

In terms of points prior to the pause we were 9th in the division due to Nashville taking the tiebreaker and on the outside looking in. Marky/Boeser got hurt and we were losing games. It wasn't looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
