I get that Petey is having a quiet game. But we have such an emotional fan base.

Part of it I understand. People were/are attached to J.T. and upset by their perception that he did nothing wrong and they think Petey is 'soft' or whatever.

But this is chess, not checkers. Petey has shown himself to be a top ten center in this league.

He's struggling, and his shot and skating pace have plummeted because he's struggling through injury and not handling it well.

All of this points to injury. This isn't Space Jam. He didn't suddenly, permanently, lose his skills.

But I don't think he's going to look like himself until next year. I think he'll figure it out like he did when Miller was out for 10 games and be productive but not dynamic until next year.

If you need him to dominate every shift or else you need to scream to the heavens about how bad he is and how cooked our team is then it's going to be a long and exhausting year for you.

It’s not one game. It’s 12 months of terrible play.

He’s not hurt.

Even if he was hurt, this level of play is unacceptable. Compare to what Quinn Hughes has done in the last month playing hurt. Being able to play hurt and contribute is the minimum expectation in this league and if you can’t do it you’re soft.
 
Who else is left from Benning?

Hughes, Pettersson, Boeser, Demko, Hoglander, Garland?

I’m ok with them all gone except Hughes and Garland
