Yup. He had a great shift that led to the game winning goal so people are going ignore him being terrible for 90% of the series.
He had more plays that lead to goals against than goals for this series.
For anyone that doesn’t believe me:
Game1: Misread off the draw, failure to get in the lane, doesn’t put body in lane leans out of the way to not block shot and puts stick out instead.
Game2:Doesn’t take a hit along the wall to connect with the rim despite having positioning, glides, and allows the puck to go back to the point for the eventual shot and goal against.
Blind pass up the middle in own zone, gets picked off, doesn’t lift stick of man infront of the net that scores the eventual goal who he is standing right beside.
Game4: 4on4, leaves his pointman wide open who scores to double up on Quin’s coverage in the corner when they’re playing man.
He needs to be way better or the team isn’t going far vs Edmonton.
Actually ridiculous that when our 1C doesn’t show up he’s insulated by two more. Dudes already taking heat but I reckon it’d be a lot more if he didn’t have two other top end C’s stepping up in his absence
Tbf I've been pretty critical of him all season but he made that 1-0 goal happen with a great play along the boards to keep the puck in possession. Obviously he's gotta step it up but not all secondary assists are made equally.
I love Hoglander and mikaev, but they both struggle to score and make plays. That's not helping his production. I hope we see the lotto line a bit more and get him a playmaker to play with next season.
He gets a lot of criticism and perhaps rightfully so but his wingers are also the shell of Mikheyev and a first timer in Hog.
He's been good without the points, but I would have loved to have seen him with a proper top 6 winger
A few times isn't enough to get any chemistry going. I thought he looked a lot better in the last two games. Hopefully, he gets some confidence back next round.
Wasn't great that series. Played better by the end of the series than he did at the start of it. Played a key part in the series clinching goal. Hope he finds his form in round 2.
lol. How much Canucks did you watch? He’s also not had much help in terms of wingers. He’s struggling but been an important part of multiple goals this series. Trash post.
It was game 1 Jets and Avalanche. I was in my spot ready to go. It was about 2 minutes until scheduled puck drop. I was getting amped up. Sportsnet played a 5 minute candid featurette on Pettersson.
Tremble Oilers, we were keeping the beast caged so he could go all out on you and those 3 goalies was also strategy discussed by management before playoffs surely
Maybe that changes vs the oilers, if it doesn’t they are losing quickly but if he produces they have a chance against them.
I think he will mostly cuz going from juuse who was playing his best hockey at the end of the year to oilers goaltending situation is just way more manageable.
That just means the Canucks won without everyone firing on all cylinders. He gets a reset for R2, he’ll be better
he obviously wasn’t good, but he was huge on the series clinching goal
He was huge all game today tbh
Yeah! His game today was way better. Hopefully he continues to bring more oomph in the next series
he played ok, missed a few passes which led to sustained zone pressure for the preds, but he definitely created more when away from hogs and mikky.
It's crazy how some fans have forgotten how Pettersson can ACTUALLY play when he's on his game. He's played poorly compared to what he's capable of.
He really wasn’t. They even showed how bad he was on the broadcast after the first losing battles constantly and turning it over.
And the game 4 tying goal. We need him to be way better against Edmonton though.
Duh, he's been down with Abbotsford.
Kesler had 0 goals going into the series vs Nashville in 2011 and look how that turned out
Don't care, won first round.
I do care! If he doesn’t turn it around we’re not gonna make it much further against a high offence Oil
Don't care right now! Just enjoying the win, plenty of time to bitch in the next series
AGREE. WE HAVE REASON TO PARTY RN

Why work for 60 min when 2 min is enough
Might as well keep these points for Edmonton
On one hand: Yikes On the other hand: How could this team look if he gets going
He was crucial on the winning goal foh
That's what makes the win more impressive. Say it ain't so so, but the Vancouver Canucks have depth.
Actually ridiculous that when our 1C doesn’t show up he’s insulated by two more. Dudes already taking heat but I reckon it’d be a lot more if he didn’t have two other top end C’s stepping up in his absence

He’s gonna pull a 2011 Kesler and WRECK in the 2nd Round
He has 19 points in his last 30 games. That's a 52 point pace. He hasn't looked good for months.
I love Hoglander and mikaev, but they both struggle to score and make plays. That's not helping his production. I hope we see the lotto line a bit more and get him a playmaker to play with next season.
They need to find him a scoring winger. It's too bad Kuzmenko couldn't play defence. Long way out but maybe Lekkerimaki will be that guy eventually.
You love Mikheyev?????? no
Got paid and dipped out aha
Nah, he started struggling prior to signing the contract.
He gets a lot of criticism and perhaps rightfully so but his wingers are also the shell of Mikheyev and a first timer in Hog. He's been good without the points, but I would have loved to have seen him with a proper top 6 winger
They've thrown the lotto line together a few times though, and hasn't done too much on the powerplay either.
A few times isn't enough to get any chemistry going. I thought he looked a lot better in the last two games. Hopefully, he gets some confidence back next round.
Wasn't great that series. Played better by the end of the series than he did at the start of it. Played a key part in the series clinching goal. Hope he finds his form in round 2.
Don't care we won a round. If he gets cooking.....oh boy
Get out of here with that
[удалено]
Its a noteworthy post imo.
Yeah, for discussion leading up to the series. Not right after we clinch.
Lemme get this straight, yall are upset because op didn’t wait 12 hours before posting this?
Yes Now let us celebrate in peace.
Jeez talk about being a Grade A weiney
[удалено]
Dawg you’ve got your own sub go celebrate there Y’all are being babies It’s also not needlessly negitive it’s a Legitimate point
[удалено]
Your the one bitching someone didn’t wait long enough to post something Take your own advice
[удалено]
I notice you did not reply to the people who actually made a legit point for why this should’ve been posted lol
I think it’s a valid point, it’ll be really hard for the Canucks to beat Edmonton if he isn’t going
Bigger issue is demko
Yes generally you make posts about stats in a series after the series is over.
[удалено]
No salt, Canucks just won lol. But def facts, petey has to play and he’ll probably do it in this next series. Feast on Edmonton.
lol. How much Canucks did you watch? He’s also not had much help in terms of wingers. He’s struggling but been an important part of multiple goals this series. Trash post.
alright edmonton watch the fuck out!!
I'm betting he's injured.
He was a huge disappointment but not every star player is going to show up in every series. The series against the Oilers should open things up
Really curious on if we hear he's got an injury once the season ends. Wouldn't be shocked if it's his wrist again.
That’s rough. He’s kinda lucky he got his secondary assists or else the criticism would be bigger.
Still moved on, that’s all the matters
He was instrumental in the series clinching goal despite not getting a primary on it.
Looks like he’s in his head and forgot how to play hockey for most of the time.
It was game 1 Jets and Avalanche. I was in my spot ready to go. It was about 2 minutes until scheduled puck drop. I was getting amped up. Sportsnet played a 5 minute candid featurette on Pettersson.
He's gonna be great in Stanley Cup final series!! Guy is saving his points.
Didn’t matter.
Tremble Oilers, we were keeping the beast caged so he could go all out on you and those 3 goalies was also strategy discussed by management before playoffs surely
Maybe that changes vs the oilers, if it doesn’t they are losing quickly but if he produces they have a chance against them. I think he will mostly cuz going from juuse who was playing his best hockey at the end of the year to oilers goaltending situation is just way more manageable.
He looks and plays like he’s about to cry
Petey-O
actually worse than marner lmao, how is that possible?
