D-Petey is growing before our eyes. Probably his best game of the season. He looks so calm and controlled, and he just blows people up along the wall.

Unless what we're seeing is a mirage, he's a legit top-four defensive prospect. For a third round draft pick--I'll take it.
 
Moves his feet, gets shots off, and finds open man. Did have a moment where he was admiring his pass and was hit close to the boards, albeit a late hit, and not a headshot, but its moments like that where I think, that’s why he’s got a concussion history.

Otherwise he’s doing a good job of pushing the pace.

At least twice this season he's also ran into one of our own players, and the first time after a collision with K'Andre Miller he missed about a week or two. He loves to carry the puck which is a blessing and a curse. He's great at it, but having the puck also means he's a target to be hit. I just hope he continues to keep his head up.
 
Based on today only, they should take out Forbort and keep the Pettersson-Soucy pair in tact.

That’s a mobile d group over there

I'd really like to see them give D-Petey some PK time. Probably won't happen unless the score is lopsided.

It was transformed over the course of like a day, too. Lmfao.

It is refreshing now in party because we have written off the season in our heads and are looking to next year. Management was way too slow in fixing the D.

They had junior Pete already. I'm disappointed they didn't play him more when the team needed help in December. It was clear the current D options were not working.

I am surprised at the reactions in the gdt to mpete though. Did people really not know what they were getting? He's a top notch defenseman, not flashy, just dependable. I figured people would twig to the tanev vibe sooner or later.

The other Pete (C) is a dilemma. Either he fixes his skating this offseason and we see PPG+ Pete or they have to move him. Only management knows enough to guess if his health with recover, the rest of us are just in the dark. If it doesn't they have to move on. We have to trust management on that.

Wouldn't mind seeing DOC ep40 Sherwood given a run. Those two should help with speed and pick recover is Peterson can't carry the puck as well as he used to.

Enjoying healthy Demko while it lasts
