He looks like he doesn’t even belong in the league let alone in the top 6…. If it wasn’t for previous success and his draft position he’d be in Abbotsford right now he’s been that bad. Surely Hank and Daniel have had talks with him?Hes in a funk no doubt about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised if we lost both those games. the reality is that we could go 0-4 by Sunday afternoon. Would a 1-5 road trip kill any chance of making the playoffs? Depends on what the teams in front of us do, lately most of them have been winning Edited January 14 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disgruntler Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Centre-> Wing -> Bench -> Conditioning stint -> next team. Petey’s career trajectory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played good against TB, they just dont have any finishers unfortunately. I dont mind trading Boeser for Klington to shake things up. We need more offense from our D. Boeser has to go. If we can get a top 3 dman for him itll be a steam. He gets slower by the game. He has a decent shot and not much else. I cant recall another player that does so little in relation to the opportunity hes given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not strong enough or fast enough for this league right now. At least not at center that’s for sure.

N4ZZY Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 1 minute ago, Maniwaki Canuck said: We can hang with these top teams as far as the run of play goes, but we aren't finishing at their level. The problems with this team are on offense, not defense. Honestly, I think it’s both. Our defense isn’t great, and we don’t seem to be able to produce offense consistently enough. When the going gets tough, our top players seem to disappear offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Despite the loss, the team is still looking competitive; and the [cautious] Boudreau did state - that the playoffs, is secondary and it is more important, that the team is playing more competitive.

I want to see him have an off-season where he’s not recovering, and see where he’s at next season. This season for Petey, in my opinion, is a write off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs is secondary? Pretty sure that’s not what Francesco likes to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 If Petey is now a winger, who is going to be our future top center? Seems scary that we don’t have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to wait until next season to see if he’s back to his own self. If not, then yeah, we’re in $&!# territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season for Petey, in my opinion, is a write off. Completely agree. It almost seems he knows it as well. He couldn’t/didn’t do enough this last off-season to improve his game. Contract might have had something to do with it, as well as the wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not a center that’s for sure. Definitely more than a funk. He looks like a rookie call-up from the farm. He's just not in it right now and there are guys with a third of the sklll, that will play with 110% more heart that can fill his spot. It's lesson time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listen to Rutherfords' presser, on where he sees the Canucks in there competitive cycle; and we can perhaps, thank the game postponement, for ending there winning streak ? Let's see, who the GM hiring will be and what there offseason moves will be. I hope they will be selling, in the TDL cause the players they really need can only be acquired cheaply, in the draft.
