GDT: [GM75] Canucks @ Golden Knights | Tue. Apr 2nd, 7:00pm | SNP | On the Road Again

[EpochLink]

Miller and Garland have been playing like it’s the playoffs for a while. Petey nowhere to be seen.

He'll show up come playoff time!

 

[PavelBure10]

Pettersson has easily been the most frustrating Canuck this year. The most confusing superstar in the league.

 

[Canucker]

Do they teach our players to grab jersey’s? We seem to take more of these dumb penalties than any other team.

 

[Soups On]

You need more copium hopium, he's saving himself for the playoffs

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

wtf Blueger?

 

[Nucker101]

Seeing some Travis Green habits this game which is alarming. Giving up the blueline with ease.

 

[bbud]

why blueger

Why not a few on vegas before because can't sell in USA without fake help from buttman and his bought stripes

 

[Ace of Hades]

More than his game, I really hate EP's body language.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Pettersson has 2 points in his last 6 games.

That's a 27 point pace.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I gotta say, Pious Suter has been abysmal.

 

[Kryten]

Pettersson has 2 points in his last 6 games.

That's a 27 point pace.

Now do Crosby

 

[wonton15]

Myers playing solid in games where we have no chance is so Tyler Myers

 

[SillyRabbit]

Holy shit those PK'ers were GASSED

 

[Canucker]

Myers on the PK showing his stuff…so bad.

 

[SiZ]

EP has got to be nursing something. When he's injured, he loses effectiveness very obviously. Or timbers 5x more.

I think it's a mental thing with him. He's just really streaky.

 

[Nucker101]

More than his game, I really hate EP's body language.

Yeah, he really needs to work on that. Really makes you appreciate the Sedins

 

[PavelBure10]

The Matheson hit stole Pettersson's star powers. All of a sudden Matheson is a 52 point defenseman lol.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Now do Crosby

15 points in his last 6 games, 205 point pace.

 

[EpochLink]

Well, we got the third period coming up!

 

[Nucker101]

The Matheson hit stole Pettersson's star powers. All of a sudden Matheson is a 52 point defenseman lol.

52 point playing a shit load of minutes and pp1 time, play him 2nd pairing and pp2 and he's right back to 35-ish.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Myers on the PK showing his stuff…so bad.

He was on the ice for nearly a full two minutes. The guy was dying. Give him a break.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

All things considered, an impressive second period from the Canucks. They didn’t quit and go quietly into the night.

Interested to see if they can narrow the gap here on Vegas and the refs.

 

[wonton15]

I’ve found myself posting the exact same thing multiple times over this season: this team is completely different when Petey is going. Which has not been very consistent or often.

 

[Regal]

Let's use PPG since that metric is favorable to players who miss a lot of games.

Since joining the Canucks, Miller is 14th in PPG, league wide.

Eichel is 30th during that same time period.

(In raw numbers, Miller is 10th in actual scoring during that time period, while Eichel is 92nd).

Eichel's best finish was 10th in league scoring, while Miller's best finish was 9th. Miller is also 9th in scoring again this season.

What Eichel did last season in the playoffs was great. He also did it on a team that was significantly over the Cap. And he was outplayed by Marchessault, who won the Conn Smythe. That doesn't put him above Miller's superior body of work in my eyes.

I say that knowing the numbers. My point about injuries is not just that he’s missed games it’s that he’s played a lot while not fully healthy. And Ive never thought Pettersson and Miller are quite as good as their production suggests. It’s clear watching all three that he can play on their level imo.
