Were your eyes open?Not impressed with Petan at all tonight. He looked like he had trouble keeping up to the game.

It's so easy to dislike him and Dano considering how much they are hyped on this discussion board you would think they would have accomplished a lot more. If he does work out, however, and even if he is just good trade bait it's still good for the team.Not sure what issue people had with Petan tonight, other than not liking him and being unobjective.
The penalties were unfortunate but one of them was in the defensive zone and neither were nearly as bad as Wheeler's dumb ass holding call. Otherwise he played very sound positionally , was around the puck a lot, created and drove his line. His battle level was clearly higher along the walls, as was his ability to hang onto the puck.
He might not find a spot yet when everyone is healthy, although that doesn't mean he shouldn't. It's one game, not making that determination yet. He was far better than Lemieux, I'll say that for sure.
Personally I don't care how much someone is hyped, I remain objective and base my opinion on his play, not what others think. Tonight he was fine, did not look out of place, nothing more to it.It's so easy to dislike him and Dano considering how much they are hyped on this discussion board you would think they would have accomplished a lot more.

Dove?Lmao he dove at a players legs and tripped him...way dumber than Blake's penalty. That being said i agree he did not look out of place out there and played a very decent game last night.

Wheeler's penalty came in the offensive zone on a pretty much nothing play, all he needed to do was try to separate his man from the puck. At least Petan's second penalty came in the defensive zone trying to prevent the puck carrier from getting between him and the net, and he didn't dive at his legs, c'mon.Lmao he dove at a players legs and tripped him...way dumber than Blake's penalty.

Dove?
He stumbled and inadvertently tripped up the Yote player with his head.
Are people actually trying to state he dove head first, at the feet of the opposing player on purpose?
Seriously?
Nic had a very good game last night, noticeable improvement from the last time I watched him play. Next step for Nic is to follow it up with another good game, consistency.
Lol they only showed the replay about 4 times. His feet didn't trip up, he didn'tslip. He dove in front of the player, he had no other way of getting to the puck. It is what it is... a penalty.
Great game though otherwise by petan. That boy had some jets on last night.
1 goal and over 80% Corsi = very good
2 PIMs = not so good
I don't expect the PIMs to continue. That's not his style of game.
I don't expect 80% Corsi or 1 goal per game pace to continue either. That's unnatural.
What I did see though was good skating, upping the pace, strong defensive play, great breakouts, and some amazing set ups in the offensive zone. That is something that I can see persisting and making Petan one of the Jets' better bottom-six players.
So, can we now start saying that good players will be good players on all lines, including the fourth?
Nic has a game that should make players around him better, not a game that needs better players to make him better. The Yotes game was the first time I seen Nic improve the play of players on his line.
Thats a decent step, compared to the past when his poor play was being blamed on those around him.
Agree (though it was 4 PIMs). I thought he was very effective.1 goal and over 80% Corsi = very good
2 PIMs = not so good

There is reason for some optimism there. Would like to see him get a longer look though. I doubt he becomes a fixture this season but next season is do or die time come training camp if he's not dealt by then.
Beginning of the season I was hoping for a 3rd line of Connor/Petan/Roslovic.
I could see this line happening over the next couple of months.
