    Button’s criticism on Petey and Marner is bang on! When you are play 10-plus a year, effort alone is not enough. You don’t always score, but there are other ways you can help the team - Petey’s play so far in round one has been terrible. He has been outplayed even by Mikeyhev, who at this time, I come to expect nothing from…

    Pettersson in the bubble played with a ton of heart. He got knocked around, pushed over, and bullied on the outside. But he got up and went right back into the fight.
    I haven't seen Pettersson win a board battle in 2 years. It's not a 2 month problem, it's been years.
    He's become soft and floaty. Apprehensive to engage. Loses every single board battle. Gets pushed over with ease and then sulks and mopes about it.
    Hockey is hard and you need to fight though that. It needs to fire you up. And instead of firing Petey up, it makes him shy away and cower.
    Terrible signing. I wanted to trade him. He's not a player you win a cup with, he's a regular season plsyer who sells tickets and jerseys.
    Our owner is a doofus. We honestly could win a cup during this Miller window. But not with Petey making $11m, barring a radical change to his game.

      Bang on comments. He's become "Hot Potato Petey" that thinks getting rid of the puck asap is worth 11 mil a yr and picking up second assists on the PP. Money has made him soft IMO.

      Great numbers masked by streaky play. He gets bundles of points at a time but is vacant for also long streaks of time. Inconsistent at best.
      It hasn’t been long enough that we’ve forgotten he would split D and dangle in tough spots to take shots. Now he stands in prime scoring spots and clutches and passes. We pay him to shoot and score.

    Big Z is the difference and he should be signed as a first priority instead of Hronek on defense. Hronek is good but not as valuable when the tough stuff and hitting are needed in the regular season and especially in the playoffs. Joshua signing is the top priority on offence. 2 valuable heart and soul guys needed on the Canucks to supplement JT Miller, Garland, Boeser and co.

    I'm not expecting goal production specifically from Garland in the top 6. If it happens, awesome, but he's most valuable digging in the corners and his work behind the net. The issue becomes who can finish when he makes a great dish of the puck from below the goal line. We all saw the OT pass with Lindholm goal and that's what we need from him and his line.
    Hoglander has lots of flash moments and can move really well in the Ozone but Mikhayev and Pettersson need to add their value to that line. I'm honestly least concerned about Hoglander out of the 3 on that line. Mikayev needs to drop down the line up I think but we should also get Podz into a game to see what energy he can bring.

    Huge mistake signing Peckersson. I said months ago to trade his ass... this isn't the 1st time he's had a slump that goes months and months. Peckersson is the main reason the prior coach got canned.

    I totally agree on the Pettersson signing for the money he’s gonna be making next 8 years Omg! Looks like a horrible mistake. He needs to drive a line which he isn’t capable of. Besides the odd Damn JT and Boeser no one can score. If Peddersson had two goals this series that’s not asking much Nashville would be dusted and out.

    Petterson looked decent in game 5. He blocked a shot late and was hitting early. But its looking like a mistake to sign him to that contract. For 10 million you want a guy that can dominate in the playoffs. Not a guy who struggles from febuary to may.

    This guest usually has good takes but the more the season went along and the more success Canucks kept having, the more it seems he does not like the Canucks lol He loves Edmonton I think, which is fine. Petey was catching strays tho, while the topic was about Mitch Marner, after he already ripped Petey pretty good. Unnecessarily called him terrible lol Petey is many things but he was not terrible last night.
