GDT: WCQF GM02 | Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators | Tue. Apr 23rd | 7:00PM PST | SNP/CBC | Great State of Dakota

Pettersson is a totally broken player. I don't know what to say after watching that period.

$11 million players have simply gotta take those chances.

Very concerning. In the past he buries those every time without breaking a sweat.

People are actually blaming DeSmith for that goal?

It's not really DeSmith's "fault"...but it's just...the absolute worst possible start he could've had, having to step in to Demko's big shoes.


Fortunately...they only gave up like 3 other shots. So...there's that.

 

[bbud]

Pettersson just needs that one goal off his back.

Also, I'm waiting for JT MIller and Brock Boeser to get on the score sheet too.. If we are gonna slag Pettersson for lack of goals, those two need to buy one.

Get mean and into net get a dirty one

 

[Petey O]

I’m not even panicked. We decimated them that period. We win if we keep playing g this way.

Yeah, the Canucks are a significantly better team than Nashville. Just need to start burying chances.

 

[DimitriL07]

Just feels weird. Ik were dominating but anytime they gain the zone im way to nervous. It’s like they literally can’t let any shots on net or they’re just gunna go in.

 

[Flik]

Nerves are a thing y'all, we're playing damn well overall

 

[Peen]

We played great that period.

It's just absurd at this point. It's clearly just a mental thing and he can't seem to shake it. $11M players aren't supposed to be "mercurial" and have bouts where they can't get their own focus straight in the biggest moments of big games.

Start the game 0-1 again

Quit cute perimeter game take pucks to net make it hard work preds are nowhere near dominating this game

 

[alternate]

Guess we can root for WPG next round.

2022-2023 Pettersson would actually have 4 goals in this series by now. At least 3 if he was unlucky. The importance of him finding his game again cannot be overstated. The Canucks have a strong chance of making it out of the west if he figures things out. Unironically.

For anyone who was too young to remember the 03 Wild-Canucks series...This is exactly how these games went.

 

[arttk]

I think we need to just shoot the puck on net instead of waiting so everyone get a sense where the f***ing net is

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

Lots of hot takes and panic. We are a good team. We have good structure. We just limited the Predators to like 1 real scoring chance in the whole period. We carried play for huge stretches.

No Demko, no problem. If we get even baseline competent goal-tending from DeSmith or Silovs we can win this series. Enough with the doomerism

 

[biturbo19]

I don't even really know what to say about that period other than...they should be up at least a couple goals already. Dominated play for the most part and controlled the game. They're just...not getting there.

Quite different, that series was just Cloutier giving up goals from weak shots

 

[mossey3535]

I believe they actually infused the brining solution in the cooling plant with whaleshit.

So I was thinking that Hughes would be even deadlier if we had good ice but I looked up his splits and he has 10 more points at home vs the road. I guess that home cooking makes up for it.

Also, Rogers ice does suck. I was lucky enough to play a game at maple leaf gardens before they turned it into a Loblaws and it was much much better.

Right, and if we keep this up, more often than not we'll come out on top, can't really ask for more (except a better PP lol)

 

[Regal]

My biggest criticism of Pettersson is still on his weak play on the puck on the halfway that led to the goal against. If you can’t score, at least don't make plays like that

 

[PG Canuck]

Guess we can root for WPG next round.

Hope they lose since you posted this here

 

[eviohh26]

Take shots. Hit the f'n net. Lets go!

 

[Kryten]

Pettersson needs clen this summer

Tren hard

That's how I felt during the playoffs with Clouts.
