I wonder if he has a wrist injury. Would explain the lack of one timers.

So would a knee injury. If he is avoiding putting power through his pivot knee that would definitely account for the very low numbers, which are pretty shocking actually.

I have no idea what's going on with Petey. It's honestly a bit confusing. The worst case of yipes in NHL history? Is he a 26 year old Huberdeau!!!!

If he's injured to this degree. Why is he playing?

Plain and simple. This is beyond stupid.

He was pathetic playing for team Sweden. He could have taken the rest, if he's actually injured.
Don't tell me an injury is not significant enough to warrant resting if a top 10 caliber C plays like a 3/4C on a team that is already mediocre.

The kid's been a cocky little shit since he entered the league, despite having just one full elite season to his name. Save the Michael Jordan routine until you've proven yourself. He could use a little humility and accountability. It's worked for Gretzky, Orr, Crosby, Howe, Beliveau, Harvey, Bourque, etc. His attitude is a big part of why people are so hard on him.

Sorry but screw you. He has not been a “cocky little shit. “ since he entered the league, he is an introvert. Do you not understand what that means?

Yes, he has been under performing for a year now. And I am sure that he is extremely frustrated with the situation. I suspect that he would love to be performing at the top of the league. Obviously. He is not but neither you nor anyone on this board Knows the whole story.

Last year pretty much everything went right except during the playoffs.

This year pretty much everything has gone wrong. That’s pretty much the history of the Canucks.

So whats your reasoning?

Every factor to consider = excuse.

So what is left?

So what is left? Maybe if you guys would actually listen to what people are saying, you wouldn't be so confused. I already explained my reasoning last week in this or that other dumb EP40 thread. Others have already covered it pretty intensively. You'll understand once EP40 isn't on the team anymore and you can start to see him without your fandom goggles.

you mean once we see another team rest him let him recover and he starts being a 100 pt center again and we'll be asking, so why did we not do that and ran him out of town instead?
