I'm gonna guess that that might have something to do with him only playing 15 minutes a game by Game 4.
Pettersson is awful every time I watch him play. He's got a nice slap shot, but he's constantly out of position, never wins any battles for the puck, and gets turned around by players half his size.
I seriously do not see how Pettersson is good, and Sullivan must agree with me bc he was 6th in TOI for Pittsburgh's D last year and had worse points/game than either Dumoulin and Marino--both of whom got less PP time and a higher percentage of D-Zone starts.
Very hot take here, but I am convinced the only reason PensHF likes him so much is bc you all hyped up Sprong to something he wasn't, he crashed, you were mad, you got Pettersson in return, and then coped by pumping his tires. Simultaneously, as I said on the previous page, every single year you guys hype up a d-man as the next stud JR found in the rough. He was 2019-20's big t0-do.
No, Pettersson is a fine Defenceman.
Don't get me wrong, he has his awful games, but more often than not he's pretty solid for 60 of them.
Nice slap shot? we talking about the same guy? lol.
Seems like you're talking about Riikola.
