Player Discussion Elias Pettersson - A Forward Who Scores

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

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.

I would bet that these are fans of rival teams putting gas on the fire and not actual Canucks fans.

Still makes them a waste of skin.
I wouldnt go tell Messier that he is of no worth and he should kill himself just because I dislike him.

I swear to god, society as a whole has declined significantly.

Someone get this man Nathan MacKinnon's sport psychologist's number. Seriously, this is getting out of hand.

Totally forgot about that, Mack’s psychologist did a phenomenal job on him bouncing back and becoming the dominant player he is today.

Canucks fans need to relax, coaches change, team play style changes, linemates change, star players almost always bounce back.

Those comments are disgusting. As hard as it was for the Sedins (especially since it was the media who was making the stupid comments half the time), if you can't shut off the noise in this perpetually online world it's even worse now.

For as much as it seems like the sky is falling with this start, they're still on pace for 99 points with Petey being no better than Teddy Blueger. Resolving this situation unlocks the path to contention, so here's hoping he can pull off whatever he did in the 2021/22 season and fix it.

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..

Holy shit guys, come on. I come to HF Boards for more analytical based takes on the team, not to read this trash. Stick to Reddit please if you’re some conspiracy theory wing nut.

It's a post-COVID thing. I'm thoroughly convinced it f***ed with everyone's brain chemistry, and the social isolation didn't help. Add that to the fact that cost of living spiraled completely out of control, and it's no wonder things are going off the rails.

I think it's been around longer than that. I can't share the image due to profanity, but I always think back to "Unreal Tournament 2004 lends incontrovertible proof to John Gabriel's Greater Internet f***wad Theory".

Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Total f***wad.

I would wager most are Canucks fans. They wanted to run Naslund out of town. The Sedins. Luongo. Whoever.

Unfortunately as the Trump era has dragged on (and even worse, appears set to drag on even longer), people think it's become more acceptable to just be outwardly vile.

People have always been jerks and there's less moderation on social media channels for whatever reason these days. You also see a ton of bots post controversial messages to draw reactions or attention to specific channels or profiles.

Edit: I clicked on one profile and they follow 680 profiles and have 2 people following them.

Social media + bifurcating society (have's and have not's) is leading to some pretty weird/extreme tribalism. Covid was just a massive shared moment affecting the web enabled world. people took sides and became obsessed, reasonableness went out the window as nearly everyone went down the rabbit hole to some degree Some never came back out. Negative effects still linger as people seem to look for ways to vent outrage.

Tyson summed it up perfectly

 

[kanucks25]

I don’t understand how can anyone let sports affect you this much. It’s entertainment ffs.

It's because they're mentally ill. If I was a public figure and read that kind of stuff, I would try to remind myself that these people are actual nut jobs and I shouldn't take anything they say seriously. Although I imagine that's easier for some than others based on individual mental makeup, but also probably tougher on younger people with how "online" their lives are.

People being shitheads like this online started long, long before covid.

Absent a public request from Pettersson, I really doubt management trades him. It's the kind of move that will blow up in your face and get you fired.

That said, I wonder how much of this Pettersson can endure before he asks for an out.

I hope you don’t really mean this. This type of language is akin to victim blaming and justifying the actions of online bullies. Petey didn’t “cause” these type of disgusting comments.

On the other side: Committing 90 M USD to a 40 point player who cannot be traded also gets you fired.

Allvin cannot feel comfortable right now.
