Brisson confirms that EP40 dealt with injury which prevented him from Off-season Training.

The Canucks organization is fully tied to Pettersson now so they have no choice but to move ahead with this player. They need high end skill and they won't get it back in a deal they make to move Pettersson so they need to help him figure it out.

The way the Canucks dressing room as a whole deals with the media is pretty pathetic I have to say and it's a big turn off as fan. The players come across as entitled, petulant and immature. They actually have it pretty easy compared to other sports, or even compared to what hockey media was a decade ago. It's not just Pettersson. Demko does it too, and it's cringey. I can't relate to it at all.

In the end the team needs more mature leaders to set the tone for this immature core.

I've been defending him a lot for his poor performance (injuries, etc), but after this quote this morning I'm out. It's gotten more and more difficult to feel sympathy for this guy and this is enough for me.

Didn’t Rutherford basically say he didn’t understand how hard things would get with the new contract but they had talks and he now understands?

I think this quote shows he’s gone back to not understanding…

I don’t envy the Canuck’s management team. It’s an impossible lose/lose situation.

 

[Icebreakers]

Petterssons attitude is pretty pathetic lol. Hes actually getting off lightly. He wouldnt be able to survive in Toronto or Montreal.

He's gotta go imo. He's not a player you go to battle with. Not a guy you want to stick up for.

when talking about the media in this market, I run into people that ask the athletes to grow up and face the music. I just did in an earlier post.
....and others that make excuses for them. but it is insatiable here, and a horrible fish bowl, I ALSO understand why the athletes hate it when the spotlight is on and its the same question non stop for weeks and months. IMHO, This comes down to the millenials not used to being accountable to their faces. I have children, and lots of teachers as friends, this is the reality, this thin-skinned attitude will be more and more prevalent in sports, you cant compare to the days when Neil McCrae and skeletor/Russell berate you in print/air and ask for an interview the next day. You can see with JR though, he still doesnt quite understand how our media works yet, even his preemptive interview with Mason to prepare us for getting shafted was done awkwardly. Our lack of a comparable local sports team will turn a lot of UFA's away. Im surprised Hronek signed, Im just as surprised EP did, Kudos to Allvin.

Anyone who thinks that PD is going to stop being an introvert doesn’t understand introversion. I know a number of people who are introverts and it’s not like it’s a choice. Yes, he’s getting paid a fortune but saying he should just buck up means you have no understanding what’s going on. We all are holding that he will revert to the player. He was a year and a half ago. I am assuming that he has a nagging injury that is holding him back. Hopefully we will see him get past it but stop blaming him for being the person he is.

I think that the dressing room culture is aplifying Pettersson's bad attitude towards the media. There's a bunch of guys that seem to resent the media and act like it's a pack of snakes that are out to nail them. Demko clearly hates the Vancouver media and passive aggressively aludes to that in interviews. Hronek can barely restrain himself from blowing up at the media. Myers seems like one of the only players that can hold it together in an interview. The team just lacks mature pros. They really miss guys like Cole, Schenn, and even Zadorov.

It’s like these guys don’t realize that media relations come with their inflated contracts. As a group, they come across as incredibly entitled

Doesn't Pettersson have a "super agent" or something like that? You would think that guy would understand that being pissy with the media isn't a good look for his young client.

 

[iFan]

It’s been said Pettersson is very immature and we’re definitely seeing that. If management knew all this about Pettersson why did they commit to him.

 

[logan5]

Lone Wolf Pettersson does not have a good relationship with the Sedins, according to Halford and Brough. They assumed everybody was aware of that, but that's the first time I'd heard that. Quite surprising to hear.

I always found this really weird, the lack of either mentioning the other. Who does this guy get along with? Only person I've heard is Daniel Sprong... which isn't the best sign.

Does this mean he has something like Asperger's or Autism disorder?

Why not?

Wow. Twins confirmed part of the conspiracy to destroy pettersson

 

[December5th]

twins dont like petey because petey is balding and they expected more from his hair

 

[arttk]

The amount of shit people project onto Petey is f***ing ridiculous.

Fact is he’s playing through an injury that is bad enough that it’s taking his speed from 95th percentile down to below 50%.
He’s never complained about playing though that injury at any point in time and yet the media and some of the fans here has been projecting what they think at his lack of performance.

And now he says one thing or something gets reported and you folks are just lining up to say he’s immature. You know what’s immature? Making conclusion on other human beings when you haven’t even spoken to them once. Is he immature? I don’t f***ing know but I definitely know a 10secound or sound bite 100% won’t inform that.

Also people chiming at how bad it is he is not talking more with the twins. Dude wtf is wrong with you guys? Just because he's Swedish he needs to be BFF with ex Swedish players? As an immigrant, that shit tells me all I need to know about all of you. The assumption that because someone came from the same country as you = you guys must be f***ing best friends is like the most low key racist/xenophoic shit. That's not how mentorship and friendship f***ing works in the real world. People don't naturally get along with other people just because they are from the same country and speak the same language.

 

[Grub]

Trade him.

 

[arttk]

Trade him.

dumb idea

 

[BWW71]

When I woke up this morning I didn't have the Sedins and the medical staff in the pool for whom is to blame. Then again tomorrow I might add the stick boy and the icemaker.

i am sure next week we'll find out EP40 has not talked with Ohlund and Edler.

 

[PavelBure10]

If Pettersson is hurt, I would much rather shut him down for the year to focus on getting better. This season is looking like a writeoff anyways, why risk it with the star player. End the rumors and the behind the scenes bullshit and shut the injured Swede down for the season.

This season sucks. It went from a incredible season last year to a complete disaster.

dude is literally wearing a knee brace on the right knee after 4 nations. It's like at some point, people need to recognize, hockey players don't typically wear a knee brace for one f***ing knee, not two, one, if said player is actually healthy.

Didn’t the person on Twitter acknowledge he was wrong and withdraw their claim?

 

[Sedinery]

Has he been injured in EVERY off season?

Because that would would be the only reason to justify him coming back from every post season the same weakling wimp that has never stepped into a gym

Falls over like a baby deer when someone breathes on him during a game.

Now he is too good to listen to the Sedins?

Go away EP

Nobody likes you, you are a complete waste of money. A 3 million a contract would be an overpayment. Can’t pass, can’t score, does not shoot, blames everyone other than himself, too weak to check.

 

[Quinning]

That comment in the media was disgraceful.

My guy, you make $11.6 million per year to play a sport and live in arguably the most desirable city in the world. You already won. Just have a positive attitude for f***'s sake.

Maybe that's the problem - he already won. Got the bag without winning and now he doesn't give a f***.

 

[Cogburn]

Hi, introvert here.

Pettersson reaction to a softball question has nothing to do with introversion, he's clearly just fed up.

As someone with tendonitis, yeah, it sucks, but you don't get to completely stop moving.

If I'm on some kind of modified duties at work due to a flare up, and when I'm asked why I can't do something, or why I'm not able to, or how ever you want to frame it, I don't get to give a response like that.

Guys just an asshole.
