GDT: GM07 | Vancouver Canucks vs Pittsburgh Penguins | Sat. Oct 26th | 7pm PST | HNIC | Kevin Corsby

[Kryten]

Petey was a mile offside at the end of the period so any goal wouldve been called back. He needs to find some confidence

 

[Nuckles]

EP is so f***ing mediocre what a disaster of a contract

 

[Breakers]

Pettersson is soooooo bad guys

He made 3 passes on the PP
LITERALLY every pass hit a Pittsburgh players stick throwing off the PP

He can’t even make a god damn saucer pass

That’s where we are at with him.

 

[mossey3535]

I don't know wtf this whole EP right in front of the net stuff is all about. Just a dinosaur era PP. Going through Miller but JT is playing very passive, no threat of a shot from him or Hughes. Not even a threat of a onetimer to EP, at least that was a decoy in the past.

 

[Paulinbc]

So we're getting f***ing goalied.

We need to be throwing more shots at him to be goalied, no?

 

[nucks88]

Sooo what do you do exactly on the PP Petey?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Pettersson looks brutal on the PP

I will die on the hill that they need to reconstruct their PP and use him as the trigger man more

The current set up is by design

 

[Orca Smash]

At some point JR and Patrick need to have a tough conversation with Rick about this Powerplay thats been awful since the all star break last year, no excuse with this talent.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

why would he take face offs then? jt is not taking face offs because he has wrist injury.

Someone has to take them. But I don't even remember the last time they've set him up for a one timer. He just exists to move the puck off the wall to Hughes for a point shot. There is zero threat for him to put pucks on goal.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Intermission. Pens chill out.

Nucks are pissed off and come out in the 2nd ready for bear.

 

[brock hughes007]

What a brutal powerplay..that will kill you come playoffs..

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Can we play Hoglander and Garland with a decent center now?

Put EP with Bains and Sprong. They can all play bad D together.

 

[cc]

EP seems easier to knock off the puck than before

 

[logan5]

Anyways, that was the Pens coming out with all they had after being humiliated in Edmonton. The tide could start ti turn in the 2nd, plus we got a lot of grade a chances, but couldn't convert

 

[wonton15]

They’re doing the thing where they swap Miller/Boeser on the PP half walls and are just freestyling it, mostly on the outside. It arguably looks even worse than just keeping Miller on the left and setting it up through a predictable Miller/Hughes play

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

EP is so f***ing mediocre what a disaster of a contract

Here we are again

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

Petey since the start of 2024 is barely an 8M player, much less 11.6M.

This contract could age quite poorly for us.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Petey is dogshit and we're going to a new dark age because of him

Here we are again

Gulp gulp

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Very unlucky not to have scored that period tbh

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Petey since the start of 2024 is barely an 8M player, much less 11.6M.

This contract could age quite poorly for us.

nah, he will be fine

Fans in this market always so quick to overreact

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Why not put Sprong on the powerplay, he will not hesitate to shoot it.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Petey since the start of 2024 is barely an 8M player, much less 11.6M.

This contract could age quite poorly for us.

He isn't even close to 8 mill. He's at like 1 million tops right now. Aman looks better.

 

[moiderer]

PP has the same problems with hesitation and over playing. But overall, the Pens basically haven't generated anything alarming 5v5 besides a deflection goal from one of the streakiest guys in the league.

Should be an interesting 2nd period if we can maintain the pressure.

 

[logan5]

What, no Jennifer tonight? Was looking forward to seeing her.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Juice just about cursed lmao
