The decline in Pettersson's shot reminds me of Naslund's shot after the Moore hit.

The velocity is completely gone. Rookie year Pettersson's shot was an absolute rocket that rivaled anything prime-Ovechkin could release. I don't think his shot is even top 5 on this team anymore.

The thing is, that shot wasn’t just right in the crest, it looked weak. And he had all day to let it fly. Something is physically wrong with Petey’s shot.

I think he only shot that puck once he looked around, checked at the bench for a passing option, cooked dinner, did his taxes, and decided there was no other option than to unload a 5mph blooper right at the crest.

What in the actual f*** has happened to this guy? Did the Monstars steal his talent? Is it too late to get a refund?

Same old...same old. Some shaky defensive play and a total moribund PP. I see they tried a Brannstrom-Myers pairing. It didn't fare much better than Myers-Soucy.

Afraid reupping Myers to a three year deal, isn't a contract that's going to age well. Two years I could see. But that third year is almost a guaranteed buy-out.

I really, really disliked Tomlinson already but him awkwardly trying to dance around not calling Myers horrendous pinch on the goal against takes it to another level. Call what you and everybody else f***ing sees.

Soucy - Myers are a problem for us right now.

Powerplay looks like they have no idea what they're trying to accomplish.
dude its crazy, 650 will literally never criticize myers lol

I'm sure there's plenty of people who want to defend Petey but I'm even more sure that's a harder task with each passing game.

Myers has always been inconsistent and this has been his worst game so far. But in his slight defence we need an intervention with Soucy. Has been one of the worst D in the league and has gotten caved in against every team so far.

Can't believe a PP with Miller, EP, Hughes, and Boeser can be so bad. Missing the days with Bo in the slot as free money.

was listening to the radio today and drance (Who's - to his credit - finally stopped pretending like pettersson's performance isn't god awful) and he brought up the list of 100 point centers in the past decade and the worst one by a long shot is RNH. like you'd never trade any of the other guys on that list

just something to consider here. signing him was never the wrong decision nor was there any realistic alternative. him having this monstars stolen talent thing is unprecedented.
