Trade him to LA for Kempe 3:10
Lou Erickson 2.0
You can,t go say how good he is after the first game then dump on him after the second. The entire forward core was lacking that game he was one of the better ones defensively. Its two games my guys get it together he was bad one game
Just stop ffs. It's the second game….maybe if you guys would stop jumping on his nuts all the time it would help. I know you need content but he better.
I'm a newer Canucks (hockey) fan, and almost never seen EP40 is worth for 11.6M. And very much impressed how the team and some of fans including my frineds are super nice and patient about him.
Overreacting
I think we need to find someone skilled he has chemistry with. Other than that, I'm at a loss.
The problem is I blame Connor Garland. Because every time that Dude is on the ice hes noticeable. Pettersson is barely visible on some shifts, so if theres no production its glaring
It's management's fault for paying him that much based on one season, guys hello, base their salary off consistency. This is why the Canucks are going nowhere.
20 games lol.
Seriously? Its been 2 games. The first game he was hard matched. And the secind game, even Quinn wasn't great on the offensive side of the puck. Can we relax please? This team is just not clicking on offense yet, but the positive is that they are playing as a team.
P.S. It wasn't Petey who got JT traded. If you think that this , mgmt didn't ask Quinn for his thoughts on who should go then I don't know what to tell you. Quinn voted for Petey.
Lets wait to see after 5-8 games. I think that is a solid sample size (10% of the regular season). That said, he certainly has not stood out at all in the 2 games he has played.
EP40 is going through alot in their life. They have a new husband and Palestine is still not free. They have a lot on their mind and hockey isn’t important to them.
Peddy reminds me of the time Danial Sedin was out for a couple of months with a broken leg and Henrik was lost for the a couple of games then he ripped it up.
Demko was great, the PK was solid, there was some truculence shown, but the skaters couldn't make a pass to save their lives. I don't know why they could make a simple clean pass, but it's hard to get a lot of shots if everyone is reaching for pucks or every pass turns into a puck battle. In a few more games we'll have a sample size of Petey to gauge where our level of disappointment should be.
i don't care EP, but the team, especially i care at the end QH broke his stick to release his frustration … only in the 2nd game of the season, not a good sign
It’s about time the Canucks go into that rebuild ❤ petey is staying ! ❤🎉
We are all Canucks
He was slow before and he "bulked up " lol, so now he looks like hes wearing cement shoes out there. Just a wet noodle of a hockey player. Dude is a Cancer.
Canucks 2023/24 FO% 9th.
Canucks 2024/25 FO% 22nd.
Canucks so far 2025/26 FO% 27th.
Fairly obvious how important Miller was to the team. Elias at this point doesn't even look like a center, let lone a top-line one, as he cannot win draws. Last night 3 faceoff wins, 15 losses. So his revenge season might be put on hold until he figures that out. If his line can't get faceoff possession, then he might as well get different wingers, probably some grinders to dig the puck for him so he doesn't have to be the guy to do it and get hurt (again), because then your best sniper isn't being wasted. (This is why Boeser played with Miller.)
It's quite flabbergasting the the Canucks locked him up to that deal and then dumped Miller while knowing all this. Oh but don't worry, if people blame Tocchet enough, perhaps fans'll buy that excuse. Petey also might just score on the power play or something tomorrow and all will be right in the world.
Solid video bro. I enjoy your analysis of Canucks discussion from Vancouver media far more than videos commenting on trade rumors.
I think he is closet gay and got called out by miller. That damged his mental game
Ep40 just ain’t skating good enough . He’s so slow and not pushing the pace for 11 mil
he added 13 lbs over the summer as if that means something. ill take 170 lb rookie pettersson over whatever the hell this guys is. Canucks are in deep trouble and i fear were going to lose quinn
hahah you azzhats chose wrong…again
We still got no one to play with EP40. Management seems determined to put EP40 with players who are 0.5-0.7 PPG.
ideally , like to see Kane , score the Gordie Howe Hat Trick , while punching out , Petey
To start the long road trip
2 games i and people are already beating him up. He got a goal in game 1. He got his weight up to 190 soease up already. If I was an NHL player I would not play here in this fickle town. too many vultures
He was rammed into the board recently and had to get out … maybe he was affected by that.
OK, if he doesn't have at least 18 pts at the 20 game Mark,MOVE him. Bump Chytyl and move Cootes to C 2line. and call up Sassons
Trade him to the Rangers XD
A lot of Canuck fans were delusionally thinking Pettersson would be great again. He hasn't been a good player for about 19 months now and the only reason anyone would expect him to snap out of it is pure hope. They had a chance last year to get good assets for him, but decided keeping the comatose center would be their best option. Then the organization tries to do damage control on his image by setting up a fake marriage to kill the homosexuality rumours (not that there's anything wrong with that). The whole thing is a clown show and this team is now saddled with a very average, soft, player who makes almost 12 mill. Nice work.
