Player Discussion Elias Pettersson - Please, Be Civil

[Bobby9]

Might be a total co-incidence. But Pettersson had his best stretch of the season when Miller was on his leave of absence.

But of course that meant that Pettersson was forced into being 'the franchise guy' in terms of driving offense. The fact is that when Miller went out, Pettersson stepped up in a big time way.

Now he's almost back to what he was at the start of the season. With Pettersson it seems to be 'a confidence thing'. Either he has it, or he doesn't, and it seems to wax and wane.

What’s it called when a meek man sits by and watches another man dominate?

Says more about EP than Miller

 

[LemonSauceD]

what does that have to do with JT miller wearing it?

Boy I got some news for you.

you don't know shit.

Vax vs Anti Vax is not relevant. Smarten up people.

 

[rypper]

Nothing wrong with that.

Uh what?

One Canuck fan is racist so all canucks fans are racist.

Yup no problem there.

 

[sting101]

Nice

Character assassination and bigotry to try and shield another for not living up to their contract

How low can we go.

Rock is hard.

Ball is round.

Hughes and Tochett better get that Canucks locker room back together and on the same page again. JT and Pettersson turning on each other is making Canuck fans turn on each other.

Flat earthers in shambles.

 

[supercanuck]

Was I the only one thinking the talk about a "thin blue line" was just literally talking about our awful defense?

 

[rypper]

They should give EP the Hughes minutes for a bit. JT hasn't been doing shit with them and before he came back Pettersson was on a little heater.

 

[MikeK]

If a team is willing to take on Miller's contract I would move it in a heart beat. Between the two it's his that will age the worst.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Ignored.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

No - speculation that the relationship between JT and EP is so bad that it is irreparably fracturing the team.

That Boudreau quote in your post even has him saying that he hopes it was just coincidence - referring to them being split on the PP.

The facts aren't available to be accepted.

What? That quote from him had nothing to do with them being split on the pp .

Starting to seriously fear Petey is the new Huberdeau. Pray that isn’t the case cause this team is in for dark years ahead if so.

This thought went through my head the other day, it's like he's the new Huberdeau here.

The difference is Pettersson has shown he can elevate his subpar linemates and still put up 100 points while contributing mostly even strength.

It’s also worth noting he still leads the team in the defensive category among all forwards.

petey has 438 p in 439 gp as a canuck.
miller has 421 p in 386 gp as a canuck.

One has 438 points in 439gp in his career. Not many players are career PPG. One also just turned 26. The other turns 32.

Fundamentally, Pettersson and Huberdeau are completely different players.

 

[Quinntessential]

JT and Petey need to do what Willie and Kesler did, come to a game arm in arm for the cameras to put these media rumours to bed

Fundamentally yes they are different one is tough and strong on their skates and one is soft and weak on their skates.
