Franks take on this is bad. I would take this stance from a former player or a medical professional. Ray Ferraro had a much better take. Hard to take from a guy without that knowledge or experience. I have tendonites (different tendon), it 100% explains his skating and maybe his shooting. Not much sense in taking time of. You could give him 2 months off and there is no guarantee it heals. He probably wasnt the most injured but he was probably injured the longest. If he says nothing it makes his linemates look worse. He had no good option.
Pettersson's a douchebag who got paid and now doesn't care. We've seen it with Loui Eriksson and now we're seeing it again, but at a much higher price point. If he doesn't show some pride and play well next year, more people on this chat will turn on him, and VERY fast.
This dude is uptight... I have no idea why they keep having him on-- I'm just gonna keep scrolling when I see he is on. Hopefully the views go down enough that it's not worth it for them to bring him on.
@@JasonLorraine-f4y he has terrible hockey takes, his only value is being an insider and with how immature and emotional he is, I bet he's going to burn some bridges as an insider and become irrelevant as an insider as he pisses people off, very similar to Dreger.
The last time I will watch anything with this man on it! Has he not spent anytime in Edmonton? As soon as the snow melts there are more Lamborghini's & Porsche's out than I've ever seen in Van. Maybe not so much now that the oil dried up? It's been a few years..
I have no issue with his take on Pete or whatever. But since you made your opinion clear about the city of Vancouver and its people, I don't assume you'd object to me saying that Philadelphia is the 2nd worst city I've experienced, do you now, Franky boy?
I’ve got no problem with Seravalli per se. Just the noise level around the Canucks - especially Pettersson - went way up during the playoffs, and Seravalli was part of it, and happy to be part of it. That’s media these days though. The practitioners are happy to fan the flames of whatever is going. The hotter it gets, the better they like it.
I know this is an underrated opinion, but as a person who lives in Vancouver, I think Frank has a lot of solid points he just needs to improve on delivering his points
I wonder if Frank acts this way when HE'S in the scrum? If so, then great; love his integrity, and calling black black. But I have a feeling he's a lot more congenial around the players, when he's trying to get a story. ?? Maybe not? I don't know... Anyone have that experience watching him directly interact with players who refuse to cooperate in simple Q & A sessions? "They don't owe you anything"? Well, I bet in their contracts (worth MILLIONS of dollars) that there ARE clauses that say, "Yes, you must participate in press availability X number of times per season", or how ever it's worded. Isn't there? The teams MUST make a certain number of players available for the press following games, etc. Isn't that the case? If so, then YES, Hronek DOES IN FACT "owe" US SOMETHING. Or he can go be a bricklayer, like Frank's dad.
I think he just needs to learn how to play through injury better in the playoffs, there's nothing left field about him encountering such a learning curve in his first normal playoff run. There's probably a big mentally preparation component to that which he'll need to grasp
Frank is just trolling Canucks fans at this point. Hey, fair play. People watch his interviews, even if it’s hate watching. I don’t have to watch someone I agree with on everything to get something out of their interview. I think it’s hilarious. I’m a Canucks fan, but not a blind fan. Matt’s introduction cracked me up. They’re just leaning into it. If fans want to take the words of commentators, writers and journalists personally, that’s on them. “😢 wahh they don’t like us!” Okay then. I don’t need people to hold my hand and tell me everything will be all right. These all must be kids, because I grew up with CBC and TSN regularly dumping on or ignoring Vancouver. CBC used to make us watch the end of Leaf games in the 90s so that we’d miss the first 5-10 minutes of a Canucks game. That doesn’t happen anymore, and these kiddos still aren’t happy. Well, next time Frank is on, he can make us all a cup of hot cocoa and read us a bedtime story. Story Time With Frank Seravalli. There’s a good name for his segments. It can open with music from Mr Roger’s Neighourhood. As a Canucks fan, sometimes other fans embarrass me. We can’t take criticism. And we have no Cups.
The reason Pettersson gets more of a pass is because we all need to believe he was hurt for him to be as terrible as he was in the second half of the season and playoffs. Tocchet and Allvin didn't think the injury was that bad.
They can't trade Petey now cause we would have to pick up half his contact for anyone to even look at him. We should've traded him before to dead line. We could've got a lot more for him back then then now.
The whole team dropped off after the all star game. Scoring went down team wise. The grind one out slogan was the slogan around that point. Tale of two teams.
I would trade Hronek sooner cause he thinks his worth is a lot more than it is. Yes he played not bad with Quinn but he couldn't make any other demands look better playing with him. I put him at a 5 million player at best.
Does Frank realize the average income in alberta is higher than BC? That most trucks literally cost more than a basic tesla? Why don’t people in alberta “drive nice cars” etc. Well they do- it’s just the ground is covered with snow 6 months of the year… they leave them parked. And yea, if you think vancouver is Flashy, please visit toronto? New york? LA? Dallas? Not to mention if you’re actually around vancouver you know everyone has been hard on Pettersson and hardly say anything about Hronek. guy needs to get over himself- he’s so out of touch with reality.
@@gordonsands you mean like the Alberta oil and agriculture execs? and you’re speaking about a specific group of people, not the generalized population lol aka “the people”
Seravalli is SPOT ON . He wants to know, like we all do, why Pettersson gets protection for a clear lie, and Hronek is raked for telling the truth and being honest.
I really like Frank Seravelli because he's not afraid to speak his mind. His Petterson questions are perfectly appropriate as far as I'm concerned. I'm a long-time Canucks fan who is also unhappy about the Petterson "injury" BS that Canucks management is feeding the fans. Just recently that arrogant, incredibly egotistical A--hole Kevin Bieksa attacked the Edmonton media and called them "dead meat" for asking questions about Darnel Nurse. Was that also Frank Seravelli, or one of his Edmonton colleagues? I'll take Frank Seravelli over Bieksa and that lame, repetitive, boring, baby pablum, totally vanilla, politically correct, non-controversial Ron McLean/Elliot Friedman hockey commentary that is now supposed to be the standard. Don't spoon-feed BS to the fans because they're not stupid and they really care, the truth is far better.
Frank thinks hes right about everything and it comes off so arrogant. Its like he thinks his opinion is fact. Hes never open to learn or consider anything outside of hus tiny little world. Hes so condescending. Cant stand this guy. I dont disagree with him completely, just his approach
Albertans are the same-- they just do it differently. in a Blue Collar way- with 2-3 brand new, king 70k pick ups, a 40' camper/ toy hauler, 4 ATVs' a boat, a cabin at the lake, a 4 bedroom house on an acreage for 2 people... same illness, just the symptoms look at bit different...
@@kevinnegoro1118 I travel back and fourth between Calgary and Vancouver. Teslas are everywhere in van cuz of the bc rebate lol. You think all the new pickup trucks driving around in Alberta are cheaper than a model 3 after the $9K rebate? Not even close, I wish they were because I own a pickup
Hahaha this is great. Franks 100% right and I'm a canucks fan. Were definitely intouble as Elias isn't a superstar and can't change games in an instance like the other top 10 superstars in the league.
Came back a day later for the comments. Not disappointed.
The craziest thing is Frank is 36 years old he looks 50!

He probably wasnt the most injured but he was probably injured the longest. If he says nothing it makes his linemates look worse. He had no good option.
How does Pettersson saying he played bad make his linemates look worse ? He is meant to be the driving force of his own line, not them
Pettersson's a douchebag who got paid and now doesn't care. We've seen it with Loui Eriksson and now we're seeing it again, but at a much higher price point. If he doesn't show some pride and play well next year, more people on this chat will turn on him, and VERY fast.
gonna take the players word over some commentator
No free dinners for Frank while he was in Vancouver for a month. That's why.
He does it for views. He makes Patrick Johnson look like a saint.
Unfortunate this guy still gets any air time. "Soft", "D-bag"...this guy is the king of projection
This dude is uptight... I have no idea why they keep having him on-- I'm just gonna keep scrolling when I see he is on. Hopefully the views go down enough that it's not worth it for them to bring him on.
Because he’s there boss.
Makes sense now... Thx
Agree totally. Waste of time.
But yet you commented… way to not give him attention.
I was half expecting Matt to get up and leave in a rage mid interview. Thought we might have a "poker is a sport" moment
I didn’t realize this guy sounded like he was 15
He is an ass would never watch any of his work 😳you guys are awesome 👍
Seravelli is very sharp. Don't be such a homer.
@@JasonLorraine-f4ythe dude goes back and forth on what he says on a regular basis, what are you talking about 😂😂😂

If he’s ever had tendinitis he’d get it. That he played with it is extraordinary
"I don't really know but..." goes on to start speaking theory with confidence lmao.
This guy belongs on an American news network
I have no issue with his take on Pete or whatever. But since you made your opinion clear about the city of Vancouver and its people, I don't assume you'd object to me saying that Philadelphia is the 2nd worst city I've experienced, do you now, Franky boy?

He flip flops more than a flounder 😂

No. Tools are useful.

Came to the comments to complain about this clown and am thankful to see that there are tons of people that feel the same as me
Frank is a goof.
Scandinavian says something direct that another culture takes the wrong way. This is common.
Just straight up trying to suck up to whatever market he’s on. Lost all credibility.
Frank has no credibility to lose
Couldnt finish the video. Frank definitely knows a thing or two about being a douche
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Well said
its adorable frank thinks he could do manual labor 🤣🤣🤣
Half of the wealth in this city comes from construction.
I agree with Frank. Pettersen needs to toughen up mentally for playoff hockey. Big target to sign is Hronek. Everyone else goodbye. 😊
I think he just needs to learn how to play through injury better in the playoffs, there's nothing left field about him encountering such a learning curve in his first normal playoff run. There's probably a big mentally preparation component to that which he'll need to grasp

Yah but frank isn’t right about anything he’s saying no real fan would think he is
But usually trolls with staying power have charisma, Frank should've stuck to rumours.
Time for 36 year old armchair Frankie to retire.
Alberta's jacked up dodge rams beg to differ....

That's my issue. We all know Hronek WAS hurt
I honestly think s&P both were trying to spark a reaction out of frank especially the way the videos started
They can't trade Petey now cause we would have to pick up half his contact for anyone to even look at him. We should've traded him before to dead line. We could've got a lot more for him back then then now.
Does everyone here know that Frank is 36? wtf
The whole team dropped off after the all star game. Scoring went down team wise. The grind one out slogan was the slogan around that point. Tale of two teams.
Frank is 100% about Van
Frank sucks
I agree with frank petey needs to take lessons from Peter Forsberg on how to play in the Playoffs if not ship him out😮
I agree with Seravalli 100%.
I would trade Hronek sooner cause he thinks his worth is a lot more than it is. Yes he played not bad with Quinn but he couldn't make any other demands look better playing with him. I put him at a 5 million player at best.
Oh boy this guy is Fkberta encapsuled
I drive a Ferrari... in another dimension

I don't know if Frank enjoyed that segment.
Just think what this team could do if they had that 11 plus million they threw away on Petey.
Yep, Frank's 100% spot on. Gotta get that soft, entitled, 11.6 Diva outta here.
Well, as stated in another comment in another chat, if you don’t want him in Vancouver gather your trolls and chase him out
Frank is right the Vancouver media is softer than Pettersson haha
Frank himself is an emotional mess, makes me appreciate Friedman.
Seems like Pettersson used the knee injury as an excuse for his bad play
Canucks need a big physical centre in all the years of this franchise the Canucks have never had one.
Yes they have, they just haven’t been any good.
As much as I'd like to agree, JT Miller and Ryan Kesler certainly qualify.
Frank is not an honest broker.
Seravalli is SPOT ON . He wants to know, like we all do, why Pettersson gets protection for a clear lie, and Hronek is raked for telling the truth and being honest.
Agreed.
Cause he works for Alan Walsh 😂
I hardly saw comments regarding Hronek and saw more than enough Pettersson hate. I always said 11.6m is an overpay.
Frank is just l dont understand a say in hockey nice gig but he oozing oil so good bye its like listening too Freeland
I'd be on the phone with Mike Grier asking if Petey and Hronek are enough for there 1st pick and some lesser pieces.

I hate spell check
Frank Seravalli is aging terribly, maybe he should consider a salad and a walk.
Will never be subscribing to Face Off Hockey or whatever shit site represents
