Hopefully Petey switching back to his old stick does the trick.

New thread = new Petey.

Yes saw that today even if it's psychological hopefully he gets going.

His puck handling should be improved with a shorter stick

 

[Hoglander]

But will it make him stop passing up shooting opportunities?

[David71]

going back to his old stick. shooting more making plays. like his old self

 

[Grub]

New Stick, new Alien hopefully.

 

[F A N]

It's nice to see Petey score a goal. His hustle was noticeable out there.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

That was the real first sighting of the alien this season.

 

[Ainec]

Goal per game

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Feels like EP40 has turned a corner here.

Hope he builds on this and gets his confidence back.

 

[lawrence]

New Stick, new Alien hopefully.

It’s actually his old stick. The new longer stiffer stick , “tricked” him.

 

[2011 still hurts]

 

[LordBacon]

People focus on his offensive side but Im pretty sure Petey has improved his defensive side of the game since Brucey got in town.

So much for TG being a defense-first coach.
Glad that joke of a head coach is gone,
literally everyone improved once hes canned,
Even Myers looked decent

Happy to see him doing better!
But what’s the Alien reference?

Doing out of worldly things....(and the shape of his head..apparently)

He got that nickname by his teammate Dennis Rasmussen while playing in Vaxjo, Sweden...

I get that some people just have body types that don't put on muscle easily, but surely Pettersson can work to improve his lower body strength + strength conditioning + power skating a bit more in the offseasons? He legs look skinnier than those of most regular joes who do zero exercise.

Hopefully his struggles this season motivates him a bit. To be one of the greats he needs to train harder than everyone else.

The Sedins should just get him to join them in their exercise regiment next offseason. That might do more to help the Canucks' next year than anything else they could do as management trainees.

 

[Gstank]

IDK guys he is still avoiding using the middle of the ice and is defaulting to the boards and he is still really weak on the puck

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Im really left speechless at this point.

The enthusiasm that Bruce has the rest of the team playing with has utterly evaded EP.

I have no clue what is going on with him. Maybe he wants out of Van?

This is so so true. There is no way those legs can keep him upright. Look at McDavids legs over the years. Look at Crosby's legs now.
