We Need To Talk About Pettersson

Nhl playoffs 2024 vancouver canucks vs nashville predators game 2 results in a split and even with the thatcher demko injury , elias pettersson has been a hot topic in vancouver since the contract extension but especially so far the stanley cup playoffs predators vs canucks first round series . There are some things we need to discuss including that open net miss, and we'll probably talk about jt miller quinn hughes casey desmith and others as this series will continue to be one of the nhl playoff highlights out of all.

Did you watch the game? The nucks outplayed nashville significantly. They lacked a bit of execution and I think demko as well. But Vancouver dominated every measurable stat except for block shots… Because Vancouver was taking WAY more shots.

[@erickpalacios8904]

Same thing I was thinking as I was listening. Canucks outhustled and outmuscled Nashville pretty much all game.

[@Statsy10]

Yes, us Canucks fans are saying this contract is a bust... as we did shortly after JT Miller got signed, and look how that turned out. We also wanted Boeser and Garland traded. Our track record on this stuff isn't that great. 😂. Petey will be fine and return to form. Hopefully sooner than later.

[@J-jizzy_]

But, you saying petey will be fine might lead to him not being fine, because like you said: our track record on this stuff isnt that great

[@ryanbencze]

Personally I never wanted boeser or garland traded. Garland is arguably top 3 on our team in just pure heart, determination and driving force for a line. You look at the combo of him and Joshua and you see that those two are dynamic together. Garland gets a lot of hate for his size and contract but imo is worth EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR of his contract. He’s one of those glue guys that you need in the playoffs. He can handle his own in scrums, can drive a line, can produce offence, is decent in defensive zone instances. Petey is a problem lately in all zones of the ice. Can’t hit the net or make the plays in the offense. Turns it over constantly in defense and neutral zone. And doesn’t know how to stay on his feet. Petey is a great player but if this is how he’s gonna play for the next 8 years the contract is going to age horribly.

Speak for yourself

[@guyforster8447]

Yeah, and people said Loui Eriksson would score 40 goals playing with the twins. Olli Juolevi was supposed to be a star. Kuzmenko was given a new contract and tanked. It goes both ways and, right now, he looks like a big overpayment. Next year, there will be 4 players earning more money : Matthews MacKinnon McDavid Panarin. Elias Pettersson is nowhere near that calibre of player. He isn't even the best player on his own team. Nobody said Miller was gling to be a bust. They said that 8 million should have been spent on Horvat instead. And, yes, you are right, it was better to sign Miller (and trade Bo, but he hardly sucked this year in New York). Pettersson will be making as much as Miller plus Joshua plus Hoglander plus Suter. All have been more valuable so far. He needsto be downright heroic in this year's playoffs and put up 110 points next year to justify his contract.

That third period was different. Canucks absolutely owned us on o zone time and shot attempts. Preds had me holding my breath the entire 20 minutes.

[@dwsnmadeit]

I really dont get the "Nashville were just hungrier" argument. Watching that game imo the Canucks out performed almost the entire game and gave up 3 goals due to stupid mistakes and a momentum shift. It really looked to me like Vancouver was the hungrier, faster, more intense team and the preds just got some cheeky goals taking advantage of some bad positioning on Desmith, and a shit pass by petterson.

[@SaveznaRepublikaJugoslavija]

Honestly I just hope Vancouver pulls through. I would love nothing more than an all-Canadian Edmonton Oilers-Vancouver Canucks matchup with a guarantee that one of them moves on to the Western Conference Finals. Let's just hope whoever it is also moves on to the Finals, and all will be well. I would of course love it to be my Oilers, but if it is the Canucks who go all the way, I will support them. Unfortunately, I do not see how realistic this is due to Thatcher Demko's injury. I hope that it does, though, it would make me, an Oilers fan in the States, and a lot of people in Canada very happy.

[@Southboundpachyderm]

[@dustinjames7572]

I completely disagree with the assessment that the preds wanted this more. Nashvilles own sport talk guys are saying it looked like an entire 3rd period PP for the canucks. Vancouver out-hit, out-shot, severely out-shot attempted, had longer puck possession and generally carried the majority of the play. Buuuuuuuut, they were mentally unprepared for the Demko news and if we are being honest were beaten by the Vancouver Canucks before they were beaten by the Nashville Predators.

Tocchet needs to stop messing up the lines. Get the lotto line together as your legitimate first line. He stumbled into a great second line to garland lindholm Joshua. Also get the Hughes minutes down a little. He’s just gassed and not as effective in the third. No way that can keep up if they make a run.

[@rubberduckie5518]

I don’t think he’s as good a coach as people think. Just PA gave him a good team to work with. He crushed Kuz’s confidence and now he’s grinding away at Petey’s confidence.

[@_Angry_Potato_]

I think Vancouver’s biggest weakness is their lack of experience. Every other Western team has core members who have gotten at least as far as the western conference finals. Even the Kings still have players from their cup wins. Not saying that they can’t win, even with Demko out, but I question their ability to recover from mistakes, which is why I picked the preds to win. The test for Pettersson as a playoff performer is how quickly he can mentally get over last game imo

This has been the case since the All Star Break, he just needs his confidence back, it’s not the playoffs for sure

[@aquiace]

Something is off in Peteyland and has been for a while. He's been flubbing a lot of plays for the past few weeks that he used to do magic with. It's all the little things, overskating the puck, mishandling even without pressure, overhandling the puck. He has the talent but it seems like he's living in his own head instead of feeling the game. He needs to snap out of it or he's going to be letting his teammates down when they need him the most.

[@mattlau]

He's trying to make the perfect shot and the perfect pass. Even on the net he missed, he was going bar in or bar down. Like you said, he hits those 99 times. Canuck fans know this guy can snipe, but he really needs to simplify his game and just shoot and one time his shots. He will eventually score.

[@jimbothy9852]

People saying Nashville isn’t good is stating the obvious, stop taking credit away from what they did though. 30 shots blocked is huge. They have 3 forwards and 2.5 defensemen worth anything at all and the rest of the skaters may as well be AHL callups

[@quakzl181]

all that potential that Petey has only for him to get in his own head if he figures it out that is scary

[@beneasler8868]

I had Vancouver going through in my bracket and it was reliant on Demko's goaltending. I'm not confident about Vancouver's chances without him

[@ponchopyro3314]

If Pettersson can figure it out I think they can do it if they get mediocre goaltending, but if Canucks continue to get the 0 points, -4 trigger shy and empty net missing Pettersson for the series without Demko the team is going to struggle for sure.

Nucks can’t get past the Preds. Preds were hot team after the All-Star break and Nucks were not. Without Demko they have no chance.

-------- Beast Mode - Former Canuck Ryan Kesler ------------ Kesler is widely viewed as instrumental in getting the Canucks past Nashville, their second-round opponent during the 2011 cup run. The two-way forward earned the nickname “Beast Mode” after racking up five goals and 11 points in the six games it took the team to down the Predators. “ We could beat you any way we wanted to. If you wanted to out-hit us we would out-hit you. If you wanted to skate us into the ground, we would skate you back. If you wanted to out-skill us, we are up for that, too ,” Kesler said of his 2011 teammates. ” ----------- “ It was a team that could win any way, and I feel like this team has a lot of similarities. “ -----------

Thing is he's had a very poor last couple months not just the start of the playoffs. A lot of us were hoping the playoffs would wake him up but it's just been more of the same. I haven't written him off yet but the frustration has been from a lot more than just the last two games.

[@bcscottj]

Hockey fans can be disappointing, particularly Canucks fans. This is Pettersson's first real look at the playoffs where the stage is a little bigger and the lights are a little brighter. He'll be fine, he's learning. This is NOT Vancouver's all-in year, this is Vancouver's first year of their contention window. Simple as that. What's more, anyone who watched that game should know that Vancouver was every bit in it from start to finish - they had something like 80+ shot attempts. Credit Nashville 100% for the solid game and insane shot blocking (and the Canucks wildly missing the net). This is looking like a great series, but it's not about who's hungrier. Also, Vancouver's PP has not looked dangerous, which can sink any team in a series.

[@williamwright4813]

It always feels so deflating when your starting goalie gets injured during the playoffs. Especially after we just got him back, too. DeSmith is still a good goaltender in his own right, but he just isn't Demko. If the Canucks play smart, they can still win this series, but I feel like it will be rockier. Hopefully Petterson can get going in game 3. Godspeed Canucks.

[@tylerdurden4006]

I've been wondering for months were pettersson is, ever since he stopped fighting for the scoring lead. Months ago...halfways through the season...

[@ewales13]

He has 9 points in 22 games against playoff teams (including these games against the Predators) since the All Star break. It’s one thing to be a ghost of a player in the playoffs but he was so horrendous on that third Nashville goal where he is actively harming the team because of his play.

[@malaka524]

Nashville wasnt hungry at all, the first goal was a fluke floater that went in and outside of the forsberg goal which was all world, the canucks were out hitting and putting 80+ shots towards the net with nashville blocking 35 of them was the biggest factor.

They paid Petey almost McDavid money and he ain’t anywhere near his level of performance. Not even Draisaitl. Even Pastrnak is paid less than Petey. What Canucks did was insane imo. They should have seriously considered preparation of moving him. Maybe get like 2-3 solid players back or something.

[@izumolee6714]

Disagree, the Canucks has been the better team 5 on 5 through most of the series so far. Special teams are really hurting the Canucks as their PP has been abysmal.
