“Where do people get the “Pettersson is soft “ narrative from??

He’s 6th on the team in hits (only 1 behind JT), 4th on the team in blocks, and first on the team in takeaways.” #Canucks 


Must be those Bambi legs?

Someone literally told me yesterday that Petey doesn't hit, block shots or kill penalties. They watch all the Canucks games...


The usual expert critics.

Most is from a poster that used to get banned all the time but has now changed his ways and is a nicer, kinder, sensitive person 🤮😂, he just hates Pettersson and makes up BS to get a point across.

And then the other is Reuby, good guy hates Pettersson.

No he would not fit here. He sucks and has a terrible contract. He would have been traded if any team wanted him. He would however be the flames top player

He sucks less than Julsen or Deharnaiss or Forbert

My issue with Pouty is not his physicality. It’s his offence. Not hard to understand. Highest paid player on the team and fans/ the org should demand more

You sir have called Pettersson soft on many many occasions, good thing everyone else who’s opinions really matter like him. Including me,

You have incredibly low standards mate. Aim higher. And he is soft. A hit from Sherwood is not the same as a hit from Bambi

Not the ideal start. Let’s Go!

The way they try to PK against edm drives me mental. It’s like a constant 2 on almost zero or maybe a half player down low. I know they don’t want to get burned on the draisaitl side of the net one-timer thing, but they just respect it way too much. You give anyone that much time down low to walk in from the side eventually they’re gonna bank one in somewhere. They just shoot for the pads and hope for a bounce and it works.

That’s a great breakdown of exactly what’s happening. Bang on.

Pouty!!!

All heart by garland that 2nd goal. Gets decked twice earlier in the shift and still bee lines straight into the d-man to force the turnover. Don’t mess with the angry elf!

Is it better if he scores in a loss against Edmonton?

It was a great tip!

Looks like Lankinen is human after all. Injury bug is really taking its toll. Get out out the blender RT, top line looks brutal with no Boeser.

Juulsen looks like thr human pylon out there tonight, sadly he's not alone. Team needs to figure out their crap on home ice, multiple lackluster efforts to start the year.

It was a brutal game plan with the 11 & 7 line up. They started on their heals and stayed there.

Baffling moves by management sending Sprong away with depleted line up for this game.

Yes, one player doesn’t make such a difference. However, it’s the domino effect on the whole line up. NHL is a punishing league not much difference from 1st to last. One thing off and your team goes down.

I think the Sprong move was to pave the way for Lekkermaki to eventually make his debut. Sprong playing 4th line minutes wasn't the best use of his offensive chops, but with Boes going down it didn't make sense to cut him loose with top 6 minutes available

Yeah just questioning the timing. They could have done it later.

It obviously was not good for this game. Giving your division rivals a confidence boost isn’t good either. Pathetic 3rd period.

Oh well. poop happens. Moving on to the Calgary game.

Yup. They just didn't have it tonight. Flat pretty much the entire game. It happens.

Bad game, not much to say = short and new blog: https://www.hockeybuzz.co...nucks-Lose-Big/308/126771
