Hope the best results for Demmer. Impossible to dislike but been cursed with injury.
talk about a sad lookin crew….it starts tomorrow boys…..start working for next year NOW. All of you need to show up at camp in very good shape and work on those things that you need to be better at….every day. No more excuses Petey, no more moodiness, just put your head down and get to work.
The Body Language gurus say the crossed arms (Brock, Thatcher and Filip) is very telling about their willingness to open up? Credit to Petey for speaking up.
Pettey looks like he hit a Blinker before this interview
The ghosts have been transferred to Pettey
Farhan is an idiot, he should also get fired from the media
The biggest takeaway from this group is that the next team captain does not reside among these four. Thatcher is the only guy that I would consider among them, but as a goalie that's not happening.
It's a good thing if it comes from the youth, perhaps someone that's not here yet.
I think Managment forgot to tell brock they are in a rebuild
What a Gong Show franchise!
The ENTIRE management team should be fired!!
I can't stand even looking at Allvin, but he didn't create this huge mess by himself.
Rutherford was run out of Pittsburgh for good reason, and has never built a team himself.
Carolina was all luck, and caught lightning in a bottle when they won the cup.
Rutherford deserves ZERO credit for the championships in Pittsburgh, as the Penguins had Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and Fleury.
It's UNBELIEVABLE how incompetent this management has been from the top down, including the scouting staff, and the all of the rest of the front office.
Most of these Buffoons did not earn the position they have drastically failed at anyway.
These players are a bunch of freeloaders, with Pettersson and Boeser leading the way.
Why would EP40 want to leave Vancouver, he get's away with doing NOTHING that will improve his, or the team's performance!
He says Vancouver "feels" like home, but is on the first flight back to Sweden when his PATHETIC season is over.
What a joke, and it's hilarious that anyone would fall for that B.S.
Yeah EP40… Change up your traing regimen!!
How about "actually" training in the off season for ONCE! ?!
And the last thing this franchise needs, is EP40 "mentoring" anyone about ANYTHING!! 😂
Boeser seems to have taken B.S. lessons from the best in the game… EP40!! 😂
Pettersson loves it in Vancouver, because the only people who held him accountable were traded away.
Brock is challenging Elias for Conman of the year award!
Demko can do us all a favour and disappear please. How many years does it take for everyone to learn?
Making Hronek Captain would be yet another massive mistake. The man isn't capable of stringing more than 6 or 7 incoherent words together. Nobody would be able to tolerate it.
The thing about preparation and training/accountability: I have never e.v.e.r. met a European elite athlete that does not know how to prepare and w/o work ethic (and I have national team experience). Like never. They always train diligently and hard. The difference is the 16-19 year old NCAA walk-on American hockey players the never really received world class coaching. They can come unprepared. Kessel is obviously both an example and an exception.
Injuries happen. I never lost faith in demko. If however next season he has another injury, then that would be a sign of concern. Petey on the other hand I’m concerned with
Love how all these guys wanna be here. 2 years ago 3 of these guys were all stars. They could be chasing championships and playoffs instead. Huge respect, hopefully management keep them
keep (solid two-way), TRADE (flash in the pan), trade (get value now before he degrades – 64% return rate on this surgery for goalies over 30), TRADE (no commitment) — Boeser is already on a plane back to Minnesota
EP40 has no idea what to do. I think he needs to see a psycotherapist, he is clearly a sensitive guy and he is got some demons in there that need out.
This is total Canucks media BULLSHIT. The Number One question that needs to be asked is to Elias Petterson: "How can you possibly accept your enormous $11.5 million contract, when you have finished the season at #130 in the NHL with a totally unacceptable 15 goals and 36 assists? Aren't you embarrassed that you get paid almost as much as Connor McDavid, for doing about 90% less? Don't you have any pride in yourself as a hockey player, or any sense of being honest with the fans?" If you did, you'd cancel the contract and take a lot less. The truth is — Petey is NEVER going to get any better. He's just putting in the time making millions of $$ until he retires. Anyone who says otherwise is just kidding themselves. This is a huge problem for the future of this team.
been cursed since the coin flip.wheres the raminspd,boys??
For those of you who spent the majority of 2025-26 moaning about the Canucks having acquired Kane at a $5.1M cap hit for the final year of his contract, remember Demko’s cap hit increases to $8.5M AND a full NMC for the next 3 seasons.
Bring that same energy if you want to convince me the hyper-criticism and scrutiny towards Kane has been 100% hockey-related.
Hronek’s and Demmers body language when Petey is talking doesnt seem the greatest.
as long as peteys here the team culture wont be a good one. sure petey nice but we aint playing pokemon we playing hockey and when u go into a battle u dont want ep40 next to u.
Do they not let Media know what not to ask. I'm sure Petey doesn't wanna talk about the personal stuff right away. You'd think Canucks would say no to some topics
Demko sounds a lot like the end of last year.
even if Demko is doomed to a short playing career which i honestly dont think is likely, i dont see a world in which he doesnt stay with the team as a goalie coach or some sort of coaching role, so well spoken and passionate
I Don't Believe Demko Anymore Mr Injury Demko 🤦🥱✌️
These guys don’t want to be doing any of this ,The team chemistry
is the worst I’ve ever soon .
These guys make a S load of money and they have no joy at all .
10:53, we heard that, lol.
That last question for Brock is so ridiculous lol what advice would you give to Jim Rutherford regarding Adam Foote's future? What kind of question is that? Brock's facial expression says it all.
No emotion, no motivation, no energy with Petey – similar to his play since getting that nice contract of his. He needs to go. Everyone knows he’s the problem in the locker room.
Petersson 40 sucks! He's a soft Swede, a major wimp and a cocky punk to boot. What a total dud at $12M. Canucks traded Captain Bo Horvat, a proud Canadian away. What a freaking joke the Canucks are!
these guys are the core of the team > they're the leadership of this canucks franchise (& have been for quite some time), & moving forward they are the leaders
Some one mentioned to me about Boeser being the next Captain and I've been pondering it for a few days but this interview conviced me he'd be the right choice
Bunch of bums
And not a Canadian in sight…
Farhan ran out of questions at the end of
how is this core still here?
Damn Fil w the Amiri hat
And people want Hronek to be captain 😂 what a disaster that would be.
Hronek is buying what E.P.-Pouty is selling about as much as I invested in that Crypto Startup being launched by my neighbour! "Just leave, already, so the rest of us can get on with actually trying to get better; bye!"…
Get some rest. Comeback stronger. Go Canucks Go!
They look like guys sitting in the principals office .boeser snd hronik have nothing to be ashamed of . EP and Demko should pay their salaries to charity.
For those who are complain over the lack of energy and enthusiasm displayed by Canuck players at this year's end of season Media Session, put a sock in it! they finished dead last and have to face the scrutiny of the local media, Yes they are paid and expected to do that! But what kind of response did you really expect after one of worst seasons in franchise history?!?! All smiles, hugs and high fives!?!?! gimme a break! I am actually surprised that the ones still here with the team especially these 4 have not asked for a trade yet!
It's not his fault, and I feel bad for him, but Demko has no value to the Nucks anymore….he almost never plays. Pettersson also has very minimal value. That said, the best thing for the Canucks is to tank a couple more years, so I hope Demko and Pettersson stay around.
petie kept dozing off while demko was talking. imo, he is the reason the culture on this team is what it is….please get this guy out of here so we can all exhale.
