17 games left, 16 goals needed to hit 30. If he can pot 30, he's back. If not, I don't care if finishes with a 100 assists, he needs to keep shooting
right ?
Brisson Confirms that Ep40 Dealt with Injury which Prevented Him from Off Season Training
- Thread starter UrbanImpact
- Start date
right ?
He’s looked a bit better, but he still isn’t generating a ton, but it’s good that he’s been able to convert of late. Baby steps.
You can tell it’s still his skating that is holding him back.
I think confidence for sure crept in. While I didn’t expect him to score in this type of bunch, I knew once the damn broke he would score more.
This is the Petey we saw when miller was out. Where you can tell there is still lingering effects from before (imo from bad offseason). I think it’s the best we will see this year, and hopefully next year he will have his skating back.
That’s also a really good sign that this isn’t full Petey.
I’m more inclined to believe he’s still injured or has permanent effects from his injury than his play being poor from an off season that was six months ago.
That’s fair… I just think whenever he gets close, he has been hurt again, and I go back to when miller was out, and he looked good, then gets hurt for a few weeks… comes back and was terrible since.
Satiar Shaw said during the intermission that his NHL Edge numbers basically have returned to normal over the last twenty years. Can anyone verify?
It’s not exactly 20 games, but the Canucks Army article was after 49 games and he had 0 22+ mph bursts, 55 20-22 mph, and 346 18-20 mph.
In 12 games since then he’s had 1 22+, 8 20-22, and 91 18-20 mph. So over that period his pace has picked up in the 18-20 mph range but he’s still not hitting the higher numbers the way he used to.
I don't know if he's "back" but he's certainly trying to make plays that he wouldn't have earlier in the season. You wonder if we'll ever see the cockiness that seemed to drive his game when he was younger. Maybe he'll refine his skills into a more mature game and be the better player for it.
It's interesting to see him throw his body around a bit - he's not looking for big hits but using it to create separation from the puck along the boards.

Posted on Canucks IG earlier today, have a look at his left knee. Looks a bit like some kind of cyst. Anyone know what that could be a symptom of?
@PuckMunchkin if I recall correctly, you work with athletes? Any ideas?

I actually hate his hits.
Always goes in with his stick at hip level.
His best attribute as a forechecker is his ability to deflect/steal pucks. Take a line for body contact but keep your stick in position to steal the puck. Now he’s just a guy who throws weak hits and let’s every puck go past him.
We never win possession on the dumps when he’s F1.
If I didnt know he had knee issues I would say its a lipoma, a benignin tumor made of fat tissue.
Could be a meniscal cyst that can form when there is a tear within the meniscus cartilage... but it looks a bit high for that.
Maybe the lighting makes it look more dramatic than it is and its nothing.
Forget the lump & look at that ankle!!!!!!!
Not sure if it’s the lighting or photo shop but is he dealing with a staph infection ???
