Personally, I don't dislike Petey. In fact, I like him. I get what
@MS is saying, and as someone else mentioned, being "likable" is pretty subjective.
Personally, I don't really care about his body language, or his frustration, or that he doesn't suffer the foolish media we have. We don't know anything about his real personality, and we aren't entitled to either. So I'm all good with that.
But he's playing bad and he needs to stop playing bad at some point. Unfortunately, this is his second long stretch of bad play in the last few seasons which is concerning.
With that said, he absolutely hasn't been put in a position to succeed
at even strength and who knows if we would even be having this debate if he had better wingers. However, he's playing with out best players on the PP and he's still playing bad....
