Always love and learn so much when Ray speaks. A true underrated longtime really good NHLer and now well respect NHL analyst.

[@GreasyTroll-TV]

One of the best analysts in the league imo. When he's between the benches I absolutely love listening to his insight.

[@hklinker]

I was a radio sports reporter in Trail in the early 80s. Ray was a great ball player. Between junior seasons he played senior men’s ball for the Trail Orioles and was tournament MVP playing second base in the BC men’s Championship in I think it was 1983 (held in Trail). Former Philadelphia Flyers brothers Jim and Joe Watson from Smithers played in that tournament, plus a young Kevin Reimer from Enderby, who went on to play with the Texas Rangers.

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing, we'll talk about it on today's show (Friday, July 12)

[@SapperRJMorgan]

Elias made Kuzmenko a 39 goal scorer. A guy who’s realistically a 25 goal guy. He can definitely make a guy who’s been a 25 goal guy into a 35 goal guy. 🤞🏻

Let's see

[@highlightedcomment]

Pettersson is done with tendinitis

[@BeastmodeKes]

​@highlightedcomment you think it's something he can't heal from?

[@akivaabraham7739]

@@BeastmodeKes He could easily heal if he had a proper diet, which I can almost guarantee that he does not. After all; eating raw meat and drinking blood is way too unorthodox in today's modern society. He probably eats waffles and oatmeal.

[@wellyforpm]

Uhhhh, no, pettersson didn't make kuzy a 39 goal scorer. Kuzy, when unencumbered by a coach trying to turn him into something he isnt, did that on his own.

Amazing little league story. I know how special little league World Series is and how hard it is to make it there. Player for Kennedy Surrey in provincials and I hope to coach my son there one day. Would be epic for a 12 year old I would imagine. ❤

[@stephentang8536]

Ray has such good observation and an analytical mind to provide such tremendous insight on those new Canucks acquisitions.

[@francoisbouvier7861]

I'm really excited to see what DeBrusk will do with Petersson and Tochet directing the orchestra.

[@gregmoorhouse9610]

Beard on point Jeff 👌

[@mikepette4422]

For their signings to be a success Heinen and Sherwood need to score between 15-20 goals out of both on average then that would be a big benefit for the teams success next year. Teams NEED 15 goal scorers thats the steady guy that can score that surprising goals when nothing looks like nobody else had an answer that game. These kinds of guys can always get you 5 extra wins by scoring when nobody else can. I think of Mikael Samuelsson from the last great team we had as an example

[@wellyforpm]

You're not getting 15-20 out of sherwood, he's an energy guy

[@brandona7206]

Skip to 634 for Canuck talk.

[@marcgallant5270]

Debrusk paced for 32g and 34g before, but he usually misses 10-20 games per year due to injury. I can't see him surpassing 35g but if he's lucky to play a full 82 games he likely cracks 30g, otherwise its status quo for him.

[@chrisdranfield3828]

It pisses you off when people speak facts about Hyman. Joe Thornton was not even as good as mcdavid yet he made cheechoo a 56 goal scorer. Any other team he’s a 25 goal guy. Which isn’t bad, for his contract a 25 goal guy is underpaid.

[@VanMichael21]

I wish we signed Debrusk for 5 yrs Mr Ferraro but I'm afraid it's for 7 yrs lol. And that's coincidentally just 2 yrs too long for me, I wish we signed him for 5 instead of 7

[@thedingbatdingers4326]

It's a good contract, I don't know what you people are whining about. Do you realize the cap will keep going up in that timeframe? it's going to make this contract look like a bargain if he can just score more than Micheyev. Which he will.

[@VanMichael21]

@@thedingbatdingers4326 like I said, 5 yrs is perfect

The system stifles Petterson. Let him play loose.

[@thedingbatdingers4326]

The system had him scoring like 150 points in 1.5 seasons.

[@akivaabraham7739]

@@thedingbatdingers4326 You think so? I noticed the drop off came right at the allstar break, where the canucks shifted their entire play to become more defense oriented. That to me was when the full extent of the "system" was put into place. The system does not work for creative players - After all; Creativity is the antithesis of any system.

[@thedingbatdingers4326]

@@akivaabraham7739 Defense first bud, it's how the game is played, and it's how the game is won. That's why McDavid didnt win.

[@akivaabraham7739]

@@thedingbatdingers4326 How do you explain us having been #1 in the league prior to the defensive shift?

[@thedingbatdingers4326]

@@akivaabraham7739 We still played the same system all year long. What happened is we traded for an offensive dud in Lindholm and also Zadorov who can't actually play defense very well aside from big hits.

[@MSmith-cp1tz]

The addition of Lindlom made Petey fall off. They never worked together and Petey never had linemates to play with. Mikheyev scored 11 goals all year and Kuzy came to camp in bear league condition. Then he played with Lafferty, im sorry but Petey needs more than that to play with. My prediction is they will start the season with DeBrusk - Petey - Lekkerimaki.

30 lol... 60 is the goal on the tendinitis line.

[@mikekerr9508]

If Petterrson gets off to a rough start next year, it will become a real distraction because the patience has ran out. They gave him a pass with so many excuses already. No more in the hat because fans won't buy whatever they want to spin with his massive decline.

[@rakeanomander1]

I suppose DeBrusk can put the underachiever on his back and carry the oaf. Pettersson is way to delicate for the NHL. Maybe kind of okay during the season, but zero toughness when the playoffs come around.

[@Mcsweeney229]

Pettersson had an injury the whole playoffs, something with his knee I think

[@christhornycroft3686]

Apparently you didn't watch him in the bubble.He was great. Injuries happen to every player. If this is another anti-European comment, the world has moved forward and uses logic now and people are treated on an individual basis by the intelligent.

[@ogmastertroller]

@@Mcsweeney229 He was not injured, he was just being a little bitch and in his feelings.

[@DavidAllison-qs8wn]

We would need to see Pettersson in multiple years of play-offs to make a fair assessment. We'll see who he is post-season if he's ever given top line wingers and 50 playoff games over a few years. Then we'll know. He needs a Bertuzzi. Maybe DeBrusk can be a 3/4 size Bertuzzi? 😂 Petey was saddled in the first half season with Kuzzy and Mikheyev, neither could buy a goal. Then Hoggy who did okay but he'd be a 3rd liner on most teams. No wonder Pettersson had nothing left in the tank. But even with those slugs he had 89 points, +20.
