Il mio ragazzo ha guardato questo video con me e ora pensa di poter diventare anche lui una star. Credo che abbiamo un nuovo hobby🍒
I'm at that age where my idea of a wild night involves taking a nap without setting an alarm🍭
Canucks drafted Jett Woo when they had the chance to draft Kirill Marchenko. 😭
I keep seeing Canucks fans say we chose the wrong player, but at the end of the day neither of them are the right player. EP40 needs a change of scenery and should have been dealt, but JT Miller didn’t want to be in Vancouver anymore. It’s just too bad we didn’t trade Petey when he still had value earlier.
Sorry, if you’re sitting on at 11 million a year salary, you have to show up.
He’s running out of excuses. And you can’t use the injury as an excuse anymore.
And frankly, Petterson isn’t a rookie anymore, and these aren’t difficult questions.
Canucks should just tank, but can’t because of Hughes.
Laine 2.0. The NHL pressure cooker isn't for everyone.
I generally like Steve's canucks takes and the canucks takes on your show for an outside Van/ mainstream Toronto (TSN/ Sportsnet) opinion.
Management did choose to keep the wrong player. Allvin has been coddling Pettersson and the very second the media found out they were trying to shop Miller, Miller had enough and wanted out. Who wouldn't! There are high expectations when you sign a big contract which is what Allvin himself stated to the media. For him to say that validates why Miller was riding Pettersson. Watch all the practice videos and you'll see Miller having fun with Hughes, Meyers and several other players. All I see is Pettersson alienating himself from everyone. Watch the goal celebrations and notice how every player ignores Pettersson. Pettersson wanted the added pressure and now blames the media which is pathetic. Not to mention his constant coughing like that is the reason to excuse his poor play. Rumor has it that the core wants him gone and Hughes has already approached management to move him as he's the one who was the cancer all along.
Elias Pettersson is the new Pierre-luc Dubois. albatross contract signed on projections and not reliable performance, underperforms, not a great teammate. even if he does bounce back somewhat can he live up to 11.7 million per year? Nope. Hes offically a bust until he proves otherwise. the canucks have this 11 day window to dump this player. get whatever you can in return, but it actually doesn't matter because the return is 11.7 million in cap space to retool with next year. Sign Rantenen this summer. it sucks but its gotta happen.
I think steve is overestimating petterssons goal scoring abilities. his best season he scored 39. not 50. that being said, he does need to be putting up more points
Petterson doesn't care because he has the big money contract now.
Quinn Hughes trade request incoming in 1…2…3…
How do you make this guy GO AWAY!!
I really just wish people just looked up his injury. Just 2 minutes of research. There is an incredible amount of data on it, and he is following the pattern to a T. Here I will spell some of it out.
Sitting out involves 12 months absence. Sitting out speeds up recovering by 4-8 weeks. Players who sit out gain 100% of their strength back and continue to gain more strength at a rate that they showed before the injury. Those who play through get about 90% strength back, and show slight regression in strength growth. But performance is around par when they were hurt.
The injury directly affects the strength in his leg. Limiting drills and most strength and conditioning, because it affects explosive movements. So as he is rounding the corner to that 13-14 month(march), he is far far far behind on where his strength should be, so he will be at a deficit even though labeled "healthy"
Since he and the team chose that he play through this, his health is going to progress slower. With set backs of course, as its not a flipped switch and he's back. And its not a linear goal to full health. But this isn't an injury that side lines you in IR and you can save some cap, and they are being patient with him.
It is unfortunate but he might not be the same ever again, but should still be elite. And he we really wont know what his top performance will be until he does some off season training and is given time to really focus on leg strength.
Edit: If the Canucks trade him at his lowest trade value, and he comes back to be 80% the player he was, it will haunt this franchise for years. And likely spells the end for Hughes here.
he doesn't want to be there anymore
If you put money on Petey, not to score. You would make more money than if you DID put my money on him getting points. For the last 25 games I will make this bet.
man pettersson used to be so fun to watch.
Vancouver canucks have a Pettersson problem.
Petterson should have never been paid that type of money , that's on management
I don't like Vancouver media.
Peterson for Rantanen?
I think a trade would be good. EP40 has a lot of greatness left in him. Something isn’t gelling for him with the Canucks. I notice he sets up a lot of plays, but it isn’t reciprocated. He’s a team player and doesn’t look happy on this team. Let him find his tribe somewhere else. Vancouver should cut their losses and go for another top centre forward and build from there. Just my thoughts. I really love Petey and want to see the best for him. Canucks fan here 💚💙💚💙
A few years ago the Canucks had 3 Solid Centers that they were banking on! Horvat. Miller and Petterson. WHO the hell had the foresight to see that on 2025 season they are all gone😂
Some hockey players have, " killer instinct", once my father actually gave me a compliment, he said I had killer instinct, and he was right, some players just don't have it, pettterrson doesn't, JT miller does, many guys in the NHL don't have it, it shows up in the playoffs, some aren't willing to lose some teeth or get cut going headfirst into the boards for a loose puck.
DeBrusk doesn’t get the tap in without a great play by Petey
The Canucks problem is not one player. The whole offence is suffering. The PP is garbage and player deployment is a joke. Coaching of this team is not good.
Jesse is smart. CLB is the best fit.
Might make a video on this soon but I checked out the Canucks game, Pettersson seems like he's still the best forward on the Canucks. The team can't generate any offense as a whole when Hughes is out of the lineup, they're 31st in the NHL in xGF/60 since November 15th via Harman Dayal from the Athletic.
Give him a year, the Canucks aren't doing anything this season anyways. They traded Miller, signed Lankinen, and have a great defensive core for the next 3 seasons… it's just how this season has to go.
