so what did we learn from this "power outage"? that he can spiral when he doesnt feel it? that he was indeed hampered by an injury? or that social media f***s you up?

I want to give it another 2 weeks to make sure its not a mirage.
Still don’t think he’s recovered. Wrister still MIA, you don’t see him carry the puck with speed dekeing people, the wrap around is not back. I think he’s finding new ways to contribute which is go to the net to tip and jam which is good but this is not back to normal Petey.

For those who continue to argue Petey is not injured and management would not play him if he was, please refer to the current Miller situation.

Absolutely huge opportunity for Petey to step up and take the reins of this team here with JT out.
Run everything through him.

Top line. Best wingers. Make him the primary option on the PP. All of the offensive zone starts.

If there’s one thing we should try to accomplish during this period, it’s to get him back to being a 100 point player.

Reunite Petey with Boeser, when is Brock back? Still day to day?

DeBrusk-Pettersson-Boeser
Hoglander-Suter-Lekkerimaki
Joshua-Blueger-Garland
Heinen-Raty-Sherwood

Articles are getting written about Miller needing to take a break to "reset mentally" at least partially because of injuries and people still think EP's slump was 100% mental and 0% his documented chronic injury that coincided perfectly with the timeline of his slump and interfered with his offseason training...

it's kind of ironic, people who were trashing pettersson as mentally soft a month ago while celebrating miller is a warrior, only today to have pettersson grind his way out of the slump while their hero is taking leave for a reset.

this sort of rhetoric is reductive, of course, they're both fine hockey players and an 82 game season is a grind, not to mention some organizational clandestine element with injuries at play.
