The worst news of the day was that Cole and Mikheyev were perfectly healthy.

[@wuhaninstituteofvirology]

their only excuses to 'why do you suck so much?' were: "oh, because we're not actually very good"

[@philt77]

Ian Cole scored more than anyone on the nuks

[@danielpatterson5189]

Him continuing to play since January with a bad knee is idiotic. They'd done well enough in the standings they could have afforded to rest him. Him not being healthy enough to produce in the off-season doomed our season. Even if we dropped all the way down to wild card a healthy Petterssen would have given us a much much better chance.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

You gotta admit it's also kind of impressive that on a flat tire, AND dragging the dead weight of Ilya Makeyev around all season (except his January stint on the Lotto Line), he could still be a legit top line forward and produce 25 points in 30-odd games. Very gutsy performance, even if, in the long run, it would have been more advantageous to sit out some time. But maybe they knew it would take the rest of the season to heal up anyways, and if he sat, they'd have to admit why and that would make his knees a target for the rest of the season.

[@jarikuusila6336]

She IS a cry baby

[@danielpatterson5189]

​@@Seriously_Unserious they wouldn't admit anything. All they ever say is lower body and upper body. But yeah I don't blame Pettersson. As an elite athlete he'll want to play. Up to the coach and medical staff to tell him to sit.

[@jerrylee3887]

The all in mentality of the organization and media and fans had them seeing dollar signs... It's just short sighted and pathetic. Nothing has changed with this organization.

[@jerrylee3887]

​@@Seriously_UnseriousThe organization signed him and he had more chances in the playoffs than any other Canuck. The difference is that his shot is poor and has nothing in his tool box to beat a NHL goalie 1v1

[@2Jim2u]

My dog ate my homework .... no, no, the homework that was due in January!! Now you got to pay him 11.6 mil. ; )

[@joshuawoo1630]

He could have went on LTIR in Jan and I don't think the Canucks would have fell out of a playoff spot

[@sucraf1]

He didn't do much and for sure didn't win any games for the Canucks, so yes, could of rested him until the playoffs.

[@rone7982]

Should have gone on LTIR, then signed a big free agent, and then come back for the playoffs. Vegas would never have let an opportunity like that go!

[@SecretAgentMan.]

Yes a bad knee would affect your shot. And if he wasn’t confident in his shot, it explains all the strange passes.

[@sucraf1]

And falling down more and not skating more.

[@bentencho]

And why did he play for that 4 months? He could have easily went on LTIR and thus freeing up cap space to bring in more impact players for the post-season. The Canucks wouldn't have been forced to send away Kuzmenko to Calgary, a player they might have been able to somewhat use in the playoffs and could have easily traded away as an expiring contract next season.

[@jerrylee3887]

Blame management... Clearly they do not know how to handle multiple things at once. Petty on LTIR would allow them to keep Kuzzy. They could have used his scoring touch in the playoffs against The Oilers... I blame Tockett for that garbage 🗑️

[@BaoNguyen-bh2rk]

The summer will do a whole bunch of players a lot of good.

[@shaylelarue787]

This is a big fumble

[@wuhaninstituteofvirology]

i dont think you can put him on LTIR just to free up cap space, sign a big name UFA, reactivate expensive petey in the playoffs again, & have all those high paid players playing @ the same time - that takes some fancy accounting tricks, i don't think you can mathematically/legally do it

[@robertjurcina]

Vegas did it with Mark Stone, Tampa did it in’21 with Kucherov and went on to win the cup

[@Hiddensquid49]

Vegas has done it with Mark Stone 3 seasons in a row.😂

[@briangogolin2255]

FUMBLE LEGOROCKS GO CANUCKS GO YEA BABY

[@roffew.1065]

Should've waited with his contract til the end of the season. Probably Rutherfords call

[@zestplays]

He’s going to be fine long term he didn’t say it because he wanted the 💰

[@Smokes_40]

Did you forget all the talk in Vancouver about it? Elias signed that contract just to shut everyone up

[@Gandaulf1961]

damage control to ensure asses in seats for next season

[@TheBlazersfan22]

Like . Man if he said so sooner. We wouldnt be as harsh on the dude.

[@emperoralvis6559]

Might just be a cover story.

[@debuthunter5389]

You don't say so whilst the season is going...

[@darkruller]

i think petty has tendonitis throught his body had wrist issues that was causing him issues now knee

[@Statsy10]

I'm not usually one to deal in conspiracy theories, but this whole thing seems suspect to me. Petey even played in that final regular season game in Winnipeg where they rested other guys. 🤔

[@Tribuneoftheplebs]

Exactly Petey is lying or Tocchet is a lunatic. It's the first one..

[@jsnagra1able]

They better find Petey a too 6 winger.

[@alessandroalafriz8162]

They probably thought his knee would heal up in a few months. After it didnt heal during those months, it was probably too late and the playoffs were around the corner. Also, I wonder how sitting him out would have affected contract negotiations.

[@sucraf1]

By keep on playing him on the bad knee? This makes no sense.

[@aaron-604]

EP40 the kawhi leonard of nhl

[@ht5587]

It could be a fumble but its also possible the league never allowed pettersson to go on LTIR

[@quakzl]

I’m guessing it’s a bone bruise I currently have on and it’s not enough to stop you from moving but does slow you down quite a bit bone bruise can take up to a year to fully heal so no point keeping him out of the lineup

[@danielpatterson5189]

Great let's hope not. Don't need a crappy Pettersson next year too.

[@philt77]

Bad knee of course it is causes bad shot

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

would giving a break have made knee worse?

[@Stefan-rk6vl]

pettersson is lying

[@Random-yb5di]

He’s not

[@nadaduo1765]

pettersson is just making excuses because he's soft, everyone is hurting in one way or another in the playoffs, can't be that serious if it doesn't even need surgery, guy is just a soft ghost lol

[@kaylanclintc.s2051]

Thats the excuse bad knee 😂

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Spoken like someone who's never had a bad knee before. I've dealt with a semi chronic knee condition that forced me out of my first job in labour, and I've played some ball hockey, and on a bad knee, you can't move like you used to, you can't get the speed you used to, and you can't shoot a puck (or ball) like you want to. It hurts and your knee will just buckle randomly, casing you to lose balance or fall and have no control over that.

[@kaylanclintc.s2051]

@@Seriously_Unserious ball hockey i miss those days to I too once was in a league in Calgary inside a hockey rink without ice exhausted running fun games ball hockey leagues and beer leagues are really good having fun good meeting good ppl teammates

[@Seriously_Unserious]

@@kaylanclintc.s2051 I started to get into Ball Hockey in my late grades of high school, until a case of bronchitis put me out of action for the better part of a year. Was fun while it lasted, was on a team from a local community centre. One thing I did pick up while I was there is how much your legs and hips are involved in a good slap shot. and how much having a bum knee screws you up for things like shooting in hockey, swinging a baseball bat, etc. Without that good balance and source of power from the legs, you lose power and accuracy like crazy.

[@SportsMuppets]

What an excuse ..He should of got his knee fixed ..The team could of put a healthy player on the ice ..

[@Monster-o1q]

Your big money guy is going to have a great summer, then return next year to immediately have knee surgery and miss the remainder of next season whilst being paid 11 million dollars. Good luck to you, Vancouver.

[@R.R.chandar]

To me, this is excuse little kids would use

[@Nickh4929]

Yea they give clown petey 11.6 million just for him to act like a baby. I wouldve rather this guy just sit the whole season...

[@wuhaninstituteofvirology]

89 points in 82 games costs $11.6 mill - that's the cost of a point /per game+ production

[@RandyBobandy-w6r]

Quit crying what a stupid flip move
