Let's keep it civil. Be respectful for each other. Don't make me do any actual moderation work.

Based solely on his last game, he's now on pace to score an even strength goal every game going forward. This *IS* sustainable!

Good for Pettersson to get off the Schneid. Happy he doesn't have to think about it.

The criticism was deserved though. Even Draisaitl is getting the gears right now for playing poorly. (I'll get back to him).

Hurt or not (and he may still be), the line gets drawn when the skates hit the ice. When you play, you perform. And if you can't perform, stay away like Demko has done.

Pettersson's contract antics and personality type lost him the majority of his good will with this city. When you have franchise level talents like Draisaitl reaffirm the timing template and not drag things into season, it hits the point home further: Franchise players will create drama when they against the traditional expectations of the fans/media/management. And that's the cloud over things right now.

I'm not a fan of this latest report of Tocchet leaving it to the team to motivate him. I hope he breaks out quick because that is not a controlled and streamlined environment for Pettersson specifically.

4 points away from being in the top 10 all time for the canucks

Still my favorite player.

5 hours in and this hasn't gone off the rails yet, very disappointing
