Post-Game Talk: GM 52 | Wings def. Canucks | 3-2 (OT) (Suter, Chytil) | No Power Plays for You.

Here’s the problem with M.Pettersen, are you going to get the same M.Pettersen on his next bigger contract because last years contract year hronek isn’t the same as fat cheque hronek this year….players play to their full potential in contract years, then scale it back some now they got their money. Seen this movie over and over

Hronek was excellent this season until his shoulder injury. He's been off since returning but he's played a lot more good games this year than bad.

And it's not like Metey is having any sort of special contract year. He'll likely end up with a pretty average/standard 2nd pair D contract (5-6 years @ 5-6 mil).

He doesn't have the counting stats to demand much more than that.

There are no more acceptable "concepts".

That sounds pretty wild...

So you just willingly ignore most of the things that affect his play?

If he was injured he wouldn't be playing and the #1 issue "around him" has been dealt with.

This is not true.

I know you probably think it is, but its obviously not true to anyone who knows anything about athletic performance.

There is no excuse for him missing that chance in OT, a play he needs to regularly convert on if he's going to take up 10% of the cap. Full stop.

So why did he miss it?

I thought the Canucks played well. The refs blew it several times just like the previous game. I loved how the whole Canuck team looked tonight. DOC, MP, and EPD all look good. I can't disagree with the comments about Boesser. I would love to see him traded. I don't understand the whining about EP40. He was dragged down in front of the net on a scoring chance and it wasn't called. He missed a shot in OT. It happens. With a healthy Hughes I would say we are well above the playoff line. I stopped coming on here for several months because of the guys who always complain and whine. I think I am probably going to hide for a few more months.

I read a theory on another site that Pettersson has started taking finasteride, a testosterone blocking drug that stops hair loss because he doesn’t want to be bald like his dad and that has given him side effects such as brain fog, depression, low libido, etc. and this is the culprit behind his drop in performance. If true, it would be a good excuse. No one wants to be bald.

As a man not much older than Petey who is also on his journey to balding I completely understand, I rescind all my negative comments towards him, and I call for an insta-ban for anyone who questions him going forward.

I am very sorry Petey and hope you can renegotiate your contract to 15M instead to fund more finasteride.
