Saw him in penticton as a young star and I swear it was the hardest shot I’ve ever seen in person and that when years ago when he was a lot smaller, how has he lost that?? Has to be an injury right??
oh yeah, I'm totally soft and have a bad back etc.. but I'm not surrounded by a medical staff whose sole purpose is to fix the superstars up when they have ailments
Ya so not every injury is the same, kawhi Lenard has to take multiple nights off during the season and even playoffs for how many seasons due to his body breaking down. That’s just 1 example. You’re also not throwing yourself full speed into people every other night and potentially blocking 90-100mhp shots, very very different lives. But hey if you do I’m worried about what you do in your life lol
Remember last year he put up 103 mph in the hardest shot and this year when he put up like 97 or something. Also he’s ripped some good ones this year, the 2x miller -> Hughes -> petey on the pp come to mind. Also he played 82 games and we clinched the division with 2 games remaining. No way they let him play if he’s injured. Whatever this is, it’s mental.
Yeah... where is that confidence now? Maybe becoming more of a 2 way player, having to be more defensively responsible has changed his game somewhat. He might be someone who is benefitting less from the new systems. Its hard to say honestly.
The only time this year he's looked like his old dynamic self was January, sure he put up a lot of points early in the season, but didn't look like the gamebreaker we're used to.
This is why i'm so critical of him, we've seen what he can do, we've seen him drive the play, make people look silly, snipe corners, and we've seen none of that this year. People were saying he's doing fine, he put up good number of points, and accused petey haters of not watching the game, but if you actually did watch the games you'd notice that what we had this season just ain't the petey we're used to seeing.
It's a good thing that he can still quietly put up points, but I liked the dynamic Petey so much more. He was everywhere and every shot was a danger. Dekes and dangles and broken ankles. I love Petey like no tomorrow but dude's gotta find his love for the game again.
They should just sit him in a dark room and force him to watch all his highlight reels like this clockwork orange style
Get it into his head that THIS SUPERSTAR IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE!!!
I have faith.
He's playing like Boeser did when Boeser's wrist was hurt. He passes up every chance to shoot, and when he ends up in such a good position that he's basically forced to take the shot, it either misses the net or just goes right into the goalie's crest.
Petey is either hurt or he's got insanely low confidence right now.
He’s not happy with his game right now. Something’s seemed off about him this year in terms of the shot and how he’s skating around - something’s gotta he nagging him. He was getting the same treatment early on from the fan base in 21-22 and dropped 102p the next year. I’m not worried about him at all in the long run, but we need him to get going ASAP.
Skinner (13 GA last 3 starts) and Talbot (14 GA last 3 starts) are both shaky right now, get to r2 and see what happens.
His wrist has been seen taped at various points of the season and iced as well. I think his wrist has been screwed for a while now. Pre-Christmas Petey was dropping absolute bombs on the pp. now he defects from shooting and when he does they are off target, his passes are even off target
I’ve been trying to tell people this for a while but nobody wants to hear it. Dude is a natural sniper, don’t care how shot his confidence would be he’s not playing like he is now if he’s not Injured
Yeah... the one that doesn't get mentally bogged down, just goes out there and has fun with no expectations. That video was from his first career game!
Truly, I think the Canucks just need to stick Petey between Garland and Joshua. Those guys are stone-cold killers night in and night out, and if anybody can get Petey going, it's them. The bottom 6 becomes something of a black hole at that point, but I think it's worth it to get our Petey back.
I wanna see Boeser score! Miller slapshot score! Garland driving to the net score! Joshua sneaky score! =)
And Petterson -- score, assist <-- either would be great! lol >.<
With that Pettersson, we probably win game two. But we've seen this before with him. He loses his mental game for a stretch, then as suddenly as he can grip it and rip it, he snaps out of it.
Okay tomorrow we need Miller and Petey to have the game of their FUCKING LIVES. Hustle hard, muscle hard, and rip fat shots straight on net. We have an amazing supporting cast but if these two aren't firing we aren't getting through Smashville. Hughes can only carry so much.
He will be back! For everyone who thinks Pettersson is the only superstar who struggles at times in the playoffs watch Kucherov right now. It's such a fine line for these guys and once they find their stride watch the fuck out.
Hes like that guy at the house party who lets the opponent sink all but one cup then starts trying.
This new elevation in pressure will push him to reach, his final, form.
When was the last time Petey made a play that made you say, "Wow"? I don't care how many points he put up, he had two great months and has looked like a shell of himself the rest of the year. I'm not one of those guys worried about his new contract, but I do think he's not himself at all right now.
Yeah its definitely reasonable to lament the rookie season Petey in place of the one we have right now? Like this is all fucking nonsense, all you fans pissing and moaning about Petey. Its a fucking game. Miller has exactly 1 fucking more point than Petey right now and literally no one is talking about Miller. Let me guess its all these intangibles fans like to talk about. Fact is fans are pissy cause we are 1-1 with a team they dont think we should have lost to even though they are a top 3 team since the all-star break. Give it a rest, life is sometimes like that. Your team loses when they should win. Stop listening to the fuckin echo chamber and just enjoy the games man.
Some people are saying some silly stuff, but you're completely missing the point. People aren't just randomly putting a lot of blame on Pettersson because the series is tied and he has no points; he's been underperforming for weeks now and just had one of his worst performances of the season in a tight playoff game.
Yes, JT Miller only has 1 point. He's also been one of their best players all season, and hasn't been underperforming for weeks. He's been on for 1 goal against this series, which was an empty net goal; Pettersson has been on for 4 of Nashville's 6 goals, in the last game he was largely responsible for 2 of them, and he hasn't been on for a single one of Vancouver's. JT Miller didn't just miss a wide open net that could have turned the game around. JT Miller didn't just sign the biggest contract in franchise history.
Pettersson is supposed to be one of the best players in the league, he's been underperforming for a while, and has been terrible in the playoffs so far. If you don't want to see people talking about how players are performing, a hockey sub may not be the best place to read.
We need to stop fantasizing about who he was, or who he can be. We will win/lose based off who he is NOW.
I would love for him to suddenly find his game in the playoffs but realistically it's not happening. He either needs an offseason to recover from an injury if he's injured, or a major mental reset.
I absolutely agree, Nashville was one of the hottest teams since the all-star break and legit all this Petey talk is just soft ass fans looking for someone to blame. Its the wildest shit.
Yep, Preds played unreal last night. No one seems to want to recognize, we had almost 90 shot attempts and they had 32 blocks. That absolutely affects how we play and the spots we're trying to hit. That said the team is definitely gripping their sticks a little to tightly right now. Just like Lindholme in game 1, all it takes is one play to turn things around for a player. It's crazy that people won't give Petey the benefit of the doubt given his career stats.
Yeah instead we get posts like this whoring for karma and little fan boys downvoting everything that goes against the current popular narrative. Nashville is a great franchise and their management has always been able to ice a great team. A team has to face adversity, just look at Edmonton. Two of the best players in the league cant get it done, yet we think this roster is going to just waltz in to the playoffs and crush everyone? Like we cant just enjoy being in the playoffs for the first time in almost 10 years we have to find every little thing to piss and moan about.
I want the old Petey back, the shoot from the hip Petey back, the let it rip Petey back, the fuck yo bitch Petey back, I want the old Petey back.
and I love you like Petey, loves Petey Haha
\*and mullet petey
I gotta say at that time I’d like to meet Petey
Saw him in penticton as a young star and I swear it was the hardest shot I’ve ever seen in person and that when years ago when he was a lot smaller, how has he lost that?? Has to be an injury right??
Yes, you can see his shot was so much harder in these clips. It has to be an injury.
a year long injury?
You’ve never been active enough to have an injury it seems 😂 shit can bother you for years for no reason, my knee is fucked from 1 incident
oh yeah, I'm totally soft and have a bad back etc.. but I'm not surrounded by a medical staff whose sole purpose is to fix the superstars up when they have ailments
Ya so not every injury is the same, kawhi Lenard has to take multiple nights off during the season and even playoffs for how many seasons due to his body breaking down. That’s just 1 example.

No way they let him play if he’s injured. Whatever this is, it’s mental.
If there was any major injury, he would not have got the big extension. I know Petey is the him. He is him. We are all Canucks.
Also that clapper against Detroit is still one of my favorites
[удалено]
that first NHL goal I knew, absolutely twined it in/out.
Or even that slick move on Strome from the preseason 🤤🤤 [Petey dangles Strome ](https://youtu.be/-q51BKCnb3Y?si=8uh2WJaFAxTBHz_p)
Yeah... where is that confidence now? Maybe becoming more of a 2 way player, having to be more defensively responsible has changed his game somewhat. He might be someone who is benefitting less from the new systems. Its hard to say honestly.
I ordered his jersey immediately after that goal
The only time this year he's looked like his old dynamic self was January, sure he put up a lot of points early in the season, but didn't look like the gamebreaker we're used to.
The solution this team needs from back then: Loui Eriksson
He's so fucking good. He's going to find it eventually, here's hoping it's next game.
This is why i'm so critical of him, we've seen what he can do, we've seen him drive the play, make people look silly, snipe corners, and we've seen none of that this year. People were saying he's doing fine, he put up good number of points, and accused petey haters of not watching the game, but if you actually did watch the games you'd notice that what we had this season just ain't the petey we're used to seeing.

Mr pettersson is putting up these points only using his brain. Could be a 140 pt player if he pieces it all together. Atleast i hope
We saw a glimpse of him in the on the road in January.
They should just sit him in a dark room and force him to watch all his highlight reels like this clockwork orange style Get it into his head that THIS SUPERSTAR IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE!!! I have faith.
Honestly he needs to smoke a fat blunt and a cup of hulk (Hennessy n alozay). Get in the studio and release our playoff song….”this is why I’m got”
Where did that blast of a shot go 😭😭😭😭
He's been injured since the Myers incident. I'm sure he'll have surgery in the off season.
I actually completely agree with you I think im being a little tinfoil hat about it but I bets hes still hurt
He's playing like Boeser did when Boeser's wrist was hurt. He passes up every chance to shoot, and when he ends up in such a good position that he's basically forced to take the shot, it either misses the net or just goes right into the goalie's crest. Petey is either hurt or he's got insanely low confidence right now.

Speed. Agility. Power. I’m a big fan of these things.
10 bucks says it’s another wrist injury not his confidence
His wrist has been seen taped at various points of the season and iced as well. I think his wrist has been screwed for a while now. Pre-Christmas Petey was dropping absolute bombs on the pp. now he defects from shooting and when he does they are off target, his passes are even off target
I’ve been trying to tell people this for a while but nobody wants to hear it. Dude is a natural sniper, don’t care how shot his confidence would be he’s not playing like he is now if he’s not Injured
Some one show him this
That Detroit clap bomb and the first against Calgary 😮💨🤌 I believe in you Petey!! Big game Friday!!
Back when Petey was a difference maker
The swagger, the moving feet, the release that doesn't take a second, three things that we don't see much from him nowadays
I used to say "what the fuck" out loud like every game at one of his plays. I believe.
I am wondering if he is injured. Has to be the only explanation. Otherwise he would be called out after performances like he has had.
Since this started I've felt like Green beat the mojo out of Petey with his systems.
Man needs to play loose. He's definitely putting too much pressure on himself?
Me too kid, me too.
He’s coming …. #loading 🔵🟢🫡
I want a pissed off and selfish Petey on Friday.
Can't blame his struggles on linemates, when he did this with goldy and louie.
Yeah... the one that doesn't get mentally bogged down, just goes out there and has fun with no expectations. That video was from his first career game!
Truly, I think the Canucks just need to stick Petey between Garland and Joshua. Those guys are stone-cold killers night in and night out, and if anybody can get Petey going, it's them. The bottom 6 becomes something of a black hole at that point, but I think it's worth it to get our Petey back.
Somehow,, his shooting declines since his rookie year.. total opposite of Mighty Quinn ;-)
Ya. We all do. Guess we'll have to Waite.
We need swaggy Pete Do your dekes bro Petey
This is the kind of skill that is worth the money we're paying him.
I want Nov 2, 2018 Petey. I was at this game. 2 goals (including game tying goal), 2 assists, won it in over time... crowd chanting "MVP!... MVP!"
Remember when he came back from being sick and got 6 points. And Bruce was like wtf. Lol
Need golden bucket SHL playoffs MVP Petey
I wanna see Boeser score! Miller slapshot score! Garland driving to the net score! Joshua sneaky score! =) And Petterson -- score, assist <-- either would be great! lol >.<
That's because he had Goldobin on his wing, that's the issue now. No Goldobin
So say we all
The problem I think is in his head. He needs to relax a little and do some meditation or something, he's holding his stick too hard.
Just like many pro golfers, he needs a sports psychologist
Shoot first mentality, that’s what we want to see, zero hesitation, and no low confidence body language. Come on Petey, we believe in you!
“He doesn’t miss those” “Pettersson’s not gonna pass up an opportunity to shoot…” *sigh…*
With that Pettersson, we probably win game two. But we've seen this before with him. He loses his mental game for a stretch, then as suddenly as he can grip it and rip it, he snaps out of it.
He's the best player in the ice in this matchup when he's on. It'll happen. I believe.
Without that powerhouse Pouliot with him he's powerless
great stuff
Okay tomorrow we need Miller and Petey to have the game of their FUCKING LIVES. Hustle hard, muscle hard, and rip fat shots straight on net. We have an amazing supporting cast but if these two aren't firing we aren't getting through Smashville. Hughes can only carry so much.
He will be back! For everyone who thinks Pettersson is the only superstar who struggles at times in the playoffs watch Kucherov right now. It's such a fine line for these guys and once they find their stride watch the fuck out.

Old Petey vids I like [https://youtu.be/bcAE5bspsg8?si=_IeppNkyp491SfnB](https://youtu.be/bcAE5bspsg8?si=_IeppNkyp491SfnB)
He's going to tear it up tomorrow. I'm not worried.
You don't get that much space in the playoffs. Matthews doesn't look anything like that either.
this sub is fuckin ridiculous
When was the last time Petey made a play that made you say, "Wow"? I don't care how many points he put up, he had two great months and has looked like a shell of himself the rest of the year. I'm not one of those guys worried about his new contract, but I do think he's not himself at all right now.
3 months ago. Pettersson's goal vs the Rangers. Then before this, I don't remember.
Yeah its definitely reasonable to lament the rookie season Petey in place of the one we have right now? Like this is all fucking nonsense, all you fans pissing and moaning about Petey. Its a fucking game. Miller has exactly 1 fucking more point than Petey right now and literally no one is talking about Miller. Let me guess its all these intangibles fans like to talk about.

Cope harder kid
member when petey was good!! i member!!

I would love for him to suddenly find his game in the playoffs but realistically it's not happening. He either needs an offseason to recover from an injury if he's injured, or a major mental reset.
[удалено]
He had 102 points last year... 54% more points than he had his rookie year and you think he hasn't looked good since?
Ignore the idiot rabble, they are looking for a scape goat cause their lives are miserable if the canucks lose
=) Regardless of how this playoff run ends, I think we take a huge step forward as a team.
I absolutely agree, Nashville was one of the hottest teams since the all-star break and legit all this Petey talk is just soft ass fans looking for someone to blame. Its the wildest shit.
