We love you Petey, because we know what you have done and what you can do. You arent paid for potential, time to man up.

Pettersson at the 10-game mark is officially on pace for eight goals. If this is all they're going to get from their 'franchise player', they're basically doomed.

Never seen a star player just completely transform like this without a major hit causing a concussion or some sort.
It started in Feb, well before he had money in the bag, so it's not like he just signed and decided to pack it in.

can the team send him to abbotsford to "find his game". clearly this is the petey we will be seeing all year. he'll get his chances and score here and there. then disappear for stretches. maybe he needs to play with the "kids in abby to know how to have fun again'

It’s obvious it’s between the ears with petey, we’ve seen this before… he either figures it out or he doesn’t

I hope he completely cuts off social media and I hope no one on this board is a part of these idiots


Honestly, he should.

Cutting off all the noise and focus on himself.
Its best for both him and the clubs future.

At the end of the day, its a job and no one should be taking verbal abuse like that.

So sick and tired of watching him.

Just healthy scratch him
Dude sucks so bad right now, it takes pressure off him.

His pouting on the bench when they show him on camera is like some disease bringing down this team.

This is f***ing disgusting, some people are awful human beings. This is the kind of trash that is involved in the riots and keeps giving actual fans a bad name.

Hopefully Pettersson eliminates all contact with the outside world and finds himself again. His mental health is the most important thing right now.

His decline in play started before the avalanche of unhappy fans or posters.
That decline caused the increase in that type of comments.
Cause and effect.

He had more hits than shots, this should be a hint.
The coach "fixing" him.
EP's favourite player was Forsberg but he can't play like him, then Tocchet starts in with his type of player to reinforce EP's attempts to be "Forsberg 2.0"

That's one idea? Thought? Reason?

Maybe all the second contract stuff and too much "tough love" in pressuring him to sign a contract he may not of wanted forced him to see the game as a business and took the joy out of it.

There are some real dark possibilities too. Addiction for one.
Another, HE WANTS OUT.

Social media is against him, coach, fans and now team mates.

His time here is near the end. Unless he has a renaissance and is potting 4 or 5 points for several games in a row the heat isn't going to be turned down..

Based on the invective we're seeing I'm starting to think he needs to be traded.

I think he'll recover at some point but this market is going to be miserable for him to play in moving forward. Even if he is a superstar he's always going to have hate directed towards him like the Sedins did.

Sadly, between this and Demko's issues (which are just as substantial), I don't think there isn't much window left for the Canucks.

As soon as they give you hope, they smother it right out of you. Watching Quinn play is the only bright spot at this point.

Oh I agree that he deserves criticism without a doubt, but it's one thing to say "Oh he needs to play better" , than saying "Maybe he should jump off a bridge and kill himself". The problems started well before the criticism but we have no clue what is happening with this player. If it's mental issues it's best he stays away from the internet.

Something is definitely wrong you're right, but fans saying go kill yourself is a little harsh. Maybe a trade is necessary for all sides involved.
