Craig Button sur la défaite des Canucks lors du cinquième match, le jeu d’Elias Pettersson et de Mitch Marner et plus
Le directeur du dépistage de TSN, Craig Button, s’est joint aux gars et a récapitulé la défaite des Canucks contre les Preds hier soir ainsi que le jeu d’Elias Pettersson et de Mitch Marner.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Two month problem? I haven't seen the real Petterson in a couple years. He used to be dynamic and fearless going to the tough areas while taking his lumps… now he is just a pussy who floats around the outside and looks at the referee every time he falls down.
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.

If they lose in Nashville, the Predators will take the series.
Oh my god… you can't use your stick to push a goalies leg across but you're allowed to crash feet first into a goalie and that's a good goal?
Was Petey playing last night? Never noticed him.

I think Rick should’ve challenged it just on the fact that they were up 3-1 in the series you could’ve taken the risk

Was the first goal on the powerplay? If so and they challenge is that a two man adv if they lose?
I made the same mistake… forgot that the with goal standing, the 1st penalty would be over
Given our ability to penalty kill this series, I would have loved to see the challenge on the goal.

I usually agree with Craig's takes. But….. Have you not seen Makar dominate the regular season and playoffs ? No comparison.
