This iteration of Pettersson vs the bubble playoff Pettersson is night and day. Elias now is like a player that's afraid, whereas the 2020 one was focused and stoic, more than willing to take a hit and to dish it out too.
On another note, Brett Festerling has gotten way better as the colour guy as the season went along. Early season, I was like "who the heck is this guy.... tongue-tied, somewhat incoherent...." Now he's easier to listen to.... still not quite to the standard Canucks fans are used to (Larscheid, Garrett, and even Tomlison), but improving.
Because the bubble had games where most players didn't want to be there. It wasn't real playoffs. Literally both Pettersson and Tocchet said they don't think that is comprable to real playoffs.
@ThatBigCactus
I wonder if the winners of the Stanley Cup in the bubble feel the same way - that it wasn't real playoffs.
@@FancouverCanucks yeah sure go survey the group with the biggest conflict on interest out of anyone lmfao. It wasn’t the same level as playoff hockey, tons of players and coaches have said that, and anyone with half a brain knows it wasn’t the same intensity/level of competition. The fucking Canadiens made the finals then finished literally dead last in the NHL the next year.
HIS WRIST!!
He didnt even seem mad when he(Petey) was at the bench after the preds goal. Thats a great point. I wanna see him mad too. Sat at the bench looking like a kid that didnt get his ice cream
He was embarrassed. Like a kid that gets bullied at school who pretends he doesn't
Look at how he joins the celebration pile after Boeser's tying goal. Garland, Zadorov, and Miller all dog pile Boeser, Petterson kinda drifts in, and puts is hand on Zadorov's back so the pile doesn't knock him(petey) off balance. He's just such a frail and timid guy. This narrative that he's injured is BS tho, he was running around throwing hits in game 1, and he didnt sit game 82 when Miller & Boeser did...he's always been extremely off balance, he's always been a leaf in the wind, and he's always been an anti-social personality. The playoffs are just exacerbating his flaws during a shooting slump. He's not anymore hurt than the average player, just mentally & physically weak
@@ThatBigCactus I did notice in the celebration for the OT winner that all the players immediately left the bench and either went to Lindholm or Silovs, while Petey stayed on the bench for a few seconds and fist bumped the trainers first to include them in the celebration before leaving the bench and joining the others. He's just a different personality than the others.
It's sad that this is our fan base, You have know idea what he's probably going through..Be behind the guy and it will come..If he's hurt we wouldn't know about it cause that's how the playoffs work, if he's not then stop knocking a man when he's down..Also I'm sure he didn't sign that contract if it wasn't for management pressure..The guy wanted to prove himself.
@@BikJTube It's not about getting behind him is about getting the narrative right on what we have as a player. Nothing personal to him, we just want to win a Stanley cup, and if youre not that guy, then we dont want deluded fans "getting behind" you and wasting years of contention, like the Leafs core just did.
Okay, who the heck was the Canuck player who hack checked on the Sissons empty net post shot. The one, you know, who was boxing Sissons out and forced him to shoot the puck on his backhand and at a bad angle?
Because apparently that wasn’t Peterson despite wearing #40, because apparently EP40 isn’t backchecking.
But I’m just some schlub watching the game.
But the utter lack of acknowledgment of EP40’s play there, WHICH LITERALLY SAVED THE GAME is starting to get embarrassing.
Now that Lindholm scored the overtime winner, all those who asked for his head shortly after the trade now are all piling on Pettersson.
No confidence. Fragile. Hunted versus hunter mentality.
If they have a sports psychologist they need to be fired / replaced.
My main issues I’ve commented prior on here that his body language when things don’t go his way wastes 1-2 crucial seconds of back checking. That’s effort and needs to change asap.
