GDT: WCQF GM04 | Vancouver Canucks @ Nashville Predators | Sun. Apr 28th | 2:00PM PST | SNP/CBC | Don’t Panic

[Nomobo]

High praise for JT from Bieksa.

 

[MS]

We have every right to blame petey. imagine if mackinnon or mcdavid did nothing. you guys kidding me ???

Yup. Yup get an $11 million contract, one of the things that come with that is that you had better be prepared to take some criticism if you no-show and no-compete in the playoffs.

 

[Flik]

And then they absolutely eviscerated SJ.

Got that was so sexy wasn't it

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Just a one goal game with a period to go. We are still in this - come on, boys, pedal to the medal and get the shots on f***ing net.

 

[Nuck Bonino]

tbf last powerplay looked better in that petey was trying the one-timers again, just need more of that

 

[arttk]

I've wondered before if it's bipolar/mental illness. But I'm not going to assume that, and the fact that he was able to basically just flick a switch when Benning/Green got fired wouldn't indicate that that was the case.

Yeah that’s what happens when depression goes away, you don’t just wake up like jeez I am no longer depressed. If you see anyone spacing out looking like the soul is not there, that’s not giving up, there is something wrong.
Been there done that, it f***ing sucks. I

 

[Bobby9]

There you go, look at how people still think about our Swedish players

Maybe you’re a poor evaluator of talent?

 

[Slapshot_11]

EP needs to show some jam and make a difference in 3rd here

He has no jam only peanut butter

 

[PavelBure10]

Were not down and out just yet. If the stellar play of Silovs doesn't get this team going then nothing will.

Allvin royally f***ed up at the trade deadline.

 

[Grub]

How are we getting so few shots.

 

[Rick Rocket]

Want to draw penalties? Just put EP in front of the net

 

[kanucks25]

Tocchet all year made questionable decisions but got a pass because we were winning

The guy is all talk

He isn't perfect but if you think he hasn't had a mostly positive impact, you're kidding yourself.

Culture and accountability is night and day compared to WD or Green, regardless of roster quality.

 

[arttk]

How are we getting so few shots.

Coaching not making right adjustments

 

[Canucks LB]

High praise for JT from Bieksa.

Tough guys like tough guys, makes sense.
Well-deserved

 

[Canucks LB]

He has no jam only peanut butter

Peanut butter without jam is still pretty good

 

[mossey3535]

For example, they are playing well in the neutral zone on defence. On breakouts, they could drop one or both wingers below their own blueline to help clean the exit. They might trap some of the forecheckers behind the play. Then they might have speed going in which would actually create rush offence, of which they have none. That might help Petey and the whole line, which is basically getting stuck on the boards when the play is in the o-zone.

This is a learning experience for the whole team including the coaches.

 

[mathonwy]

Henrik had more points in a single game against Nashville than Pettersson's has in three.

The Sedins weren't bad against the Prefs. They just weren't as dynamic. Pettersson has been anemic offensively for two months now.

Henrik was also 30. Settle down.

The Canucks have not been a serious playoff team with a serious playoff culture until this season.

Serious playoffs team are serious in the weight room.

Whatever happens, both Quinn and Petey are gonna learn and adapt.

 

[Rick Rocket]

He has no jam only peanut butter

 

[BWJM]

He has no jam only peanut butter

Chunky peanut butter too... defiantly not smooth

 

[Canucker]

PDG makes minimum wage, is a good PKer and gives his best withhis skillset

No argument there, totally agree…but fans will tear him up when he whiffs on a scoring chance.

 

[Peen]

Hughes and Hronek the low men in ice time. And it’s deserved.

 

[Bobby9]

I've wondered before if it's bipolar/mental illness. But I'm not going to assume that, and the fact that he was able to basically just flick a switch when Benning/Green got fired wouldn't indicate that that was the case.

Why is it so difficult to understand? He’s heartless. He has no desire to win. Zero determination. He’s soft, physically and mentally.

 

[bbud]

Coaching not making right adjustments

Maybe players aren't going hard enough to make adjustments count

 

[LemonSauceD]

It’s one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen from one of our top players. He literally refuses to shoot. He has a world class shot, has one of, if not, the hardest shot in the league, and he refuses to f***ing shoot.

It doesn’t help he’s playing with a trash can that is Mikheyev but Pettersson has been worse.

He’s performed in the playoffs before. Whatever the f*** happened after February 4th, he needs to figure it out. Like you can’t be that mentally fragile that you can’t even gather yourself to AT LEAST make a damn effort. That pathetic backcheck was utterly embarrassing.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I mean... What year? Henrik had like, 5 years of being in the playoffs by the time he was Petterssons age, and didn't really break out in terms of production until 2008-09 when he was 28.

2011, the only time we played Nashville? Henrik also was a late bloomer who wasn't being paid huge amounts of money. I don't expect as much from say Garland as I do the near 12M man.
