Player Discussion Elias Pettersson, Calder Trophy winner

[hcg]

Why are you even listening to people calling him a diver?

because it annoys me when our own "fans" start in on that crap. Whatever, guess it's decided. Diversson. What a poor sport. What a loser. What a coward. What a diver. Just terrible. We should trade this stain on the reputation of our team. Matter of fact, send him back to Sweden.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

It's not bs at all. I didnt see this petulant attitude coming from him last year. Boeser doesnt do it. Horvat doesnt do it. Past canuck superstars didnt do it. Pettersson needs to cut this stuff out or he isnt going to get any love from the referees.

The refs need to get their shit together.

Officiating in the NHL is a joke. How many ref teams did they have to send home last playoffs alone?

 

[Orr4Norris]

Need to be more selfish and shoot more
Too generous to his teammates right now

Yep. Seems to have lost his confidence with his shot. Early in the year he was taking shots but missing the corners. Now he seems to want to pass it off.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Holy crap I think you were right after all. The entire team has taken after Pettersson now?!

Here Marky and Demko BOTH complaining to the refs for not whistling down the play after Demko took a puck in the mask. Whiny bastards. Reputation ruined.

Horvat throwing his hands in the air like a drama queen after getting impeded by the Pred defender. What is wrong with this guy?

Leivo pleading and crying over a blown icing call!? Get a spine jabroni!

Boeser giving the ref an earfull after a weak call that put the Preds on the powerplay.
Suck it up Brock, or should I say Brooke?!

And last but not least... Elmer Whinersson:

EP has turned the high character team in to a bunch of whiners in just a dozen of games. Sad.

 

[a Fool]

When I see these wrist shot goals like tonight I visualize Naslund except with a composite stick.

 

[ZEBROA]

EP will show emotions and thats a good thing. Foppa was accused for being this way to. He wants to win realy bad. Dont hate on that. His attitude towards winning will make your team better.

Amen!

People are ridiculous man. Let's just ignore the fact that the entire league whine to the refs! Nobody but EP whines to the refs on the Canucks! f*** Pettersson!

 

[Krnuckfan]

Amen!

People are ridiculous man. Let's just ignore the fact that the entire league whine to the refs! Nobody but EP whines to the refs on the Canucks! **** Pettersson!

Quit being so sensitive. Every player whines to the refs once in a while. Elias whines the most on the team.

 

[LuckyBoeser]

This has nothing to do with being sensitive because I'm not. I find it hilarious that people are criticising Pettersson for whining. It nothing new when it comes to the entire league especially regarding star players.

If Petey weighed 205 he would already be getting crowned Forsberg 2.0.

Quit being so sensitive to Petey talking to the refs.

 

[Krnuckfan]

Quit being so sensitive to Petey talking to the refs.

Bitching constantly as pettersson does will lead to refs not giving him any calls.

 

[F A N]

Didn't Crosby have a reputation for whining to the refs? Petey will learn that it really doesn't do anything. For now, it's really not a big deal. Teams are going to pay attention to Petey and he's going to get a lot of noncalls and he's going to complain to the refs and most of the time nothing will come out of it except Petey grows more frustrated.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

My advice to all players:

Stop throwing your arms in the air and looking around for the referee when you think a call hasn't gone your way. Stop throwing one arm in the air as if you're a linesman when you think a play is offside. I see this stuff so often these days. Your job is to play, and the only thing that you're accomplishing is making yourself less ready, less engaged, less effective by doing this nonsense. Take up any beefs with the officials after the whistle is blown.

Sedins did this. For their whole career. Always turned the other cheek. Never complained to the refs.

It did them wonders. They got all the respect.

not from Chicago and Boston .....

Wow... we are nitpicking his behavior already in year 2??? Hes a diver and a whiner now?? He's a franchise star from day one that even the Sedins didn't accomplish, cut him some slack man. Thats why nuck fans can't have nice things, we do deserve Tallon over Perreault afterall..

Yeah. This is bullshit.

If the refs stop giving him calls the refs need to be fired.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Seriously.

Can you give me examples of players whining and as a result, not getting any calls?


I mean if refs operated with that logic, every time someone fell down and Rat Marchand was on the ice they would put him in the box.

 

[LiveeviL]

So he did beat Bäckström with one point, becoming second best in points among Swedish players before age 21 . PPG before age 21 he beats our Sundin too, correct?
