How much pressure is Elias Pettersson facing this season?



How much pressure is Elias Pettersson facing after the way last season ended? What are the overall expectations for the Canucks this season? Farhan Lalji joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

  1. Frederik Elias Pettersson will have 110pts and will be a top-5 player. We all know he has it in him and he can do it. His knee concerns will be fine, tendonitis is pretty common and preventable oncek nown.

    Farhan is such a doomer. Calm down bro.

  2. Lalji makes 0 comment of how Petey was injured for the 2nd half of the season and that obviously factored into his 2nd half performance. Nah, just talks about his contract.

    And how does Blueger and Joshua being out open up a spot for Lekkerimaki to play with Petey? Blueger and Joshua were bottom 6 guys. Lekkerimaki was already going to get an opportunity in a top 6 role during training camp, Blueger and Joshua injuries don't open up that opportunity.

  3. Vancouver media hates Pettersson, they want to run every great player the Canucks have out of town. First it was Miller, now it’s Pettersson and Demko. Media is trying to push that Demko is injury prone now – lol. I’m sure Hughes is going to get the same treatment once his contract is going to expire.

  4. To be fair, if his line mates wernt lafferty and mikheyev, he would have had 100 points easy

  5. He was injured and coach staff didn’t want to sit him. Look at nfl player just recently is taking 5 games off due to tendinitis in his legs. The canucks never sat him once and he had to play through it.
    The media always so negative, I know the canucks medical staff has a bad history with the players. Not once did they mention how he was playing injured.

  6. Petey has major upgrades flanking him this time. DeBrusk > Mikheyev + Lafferty. Kuzy was not the same player under Tocchet. He's going to be fine.

  7. Hes fine when challenged he comes theough. The media is a farce. They are all clueless. He can step up when he needs to. When je signed meant nothing
