Player Discussion Elias Pettersson - Please, Be Civil

[supercanuck]

I don't disagree that J.T. could potentially be a locker room problem but I don't understand this post, not sure what is even true here and how it even correlates.

Chased out of NYR? Source? Was Ryan McDonagh chased out too? Is he a locker room problem too?

Tampa was in cap hell, he was seen as more of a luxury than a core piece there. Lots of good players have that happen to them.


What's his history though? I haven't read anything about him being a locker room problem in NY or TB .I have read from Miller himself that he was immature as a young player in NY and didn't play the right way, but how does that mean he was a locker room problem?

Wasn't the reporting that he didn't really fit in in either dressing rooms? Not E Kane level, but like Jared McCann level which kind of fits in with the immaturity idea.

In any case, even on the Canucks there have at least been several cases of him being a bit of a character.

I just find it weird how some can be so one-sided and absolute in their belief that EP's the issue.

We just have to accept that a portion of the fan base cant stand EP.

The rest makes sense after you look at it through that lense.

Well, we're not privy to enough information either way so?

I do find it interesting that some posters don't take Pettersson at his word with regards to his nagging knee injury. Fine. Yet, some of these same posters morphed his vocalized desire to win into a specific retool strategy. Believed and then disbelieved.

Pettersson’s word is that he had to train around it in the summer but he’s fine and feels great now. Anyone claiming he’s still injured are the ones reading between the lines, chief of whom liked your comment ironically.

And again, I don’t know whether he is injured or not and don’t care because I don’t find his performance acceptable regardless.

This is obviously not true.

I even gave you the entire quote.

Why do you keep spreading this lie?

I think our media is shit and drumming a lot of this up. But I'm surprised nobody has mentioned one of the libellous bombshells that Rachel Doerrie dropped in that weird podcast that she had scrubbed from the internet (to the best of her ability) and that I have it on good authority the Canucks were not aware of when they hired her.

Within it, she said some shit about the Hughes family being toxic. And something about Petey not liking Miller because he was an antimasker or something covid related like that. I'm not buying something wholesale from Doerrie, but we have seen a picture of J.T. Miller wearing a 'thin blue line' hat which, at the time, was sort of going hand in hand with wingnuts who denied various aspects of Covid.

I'm not saying there's anything to it, but I'm surprised I haven't seen it referenced at all throughout this drama.
