I'm putting on some vinyl and making Shepherd's Pie. Plus trying to bait Booner. No pickle ball yet. I'm still rehabbing my shoulder. It's not ready for the sheer intensity of that sport.

Gotcha the 1st 2nd 3rd time etc
Now get off your ass & say who you would go after. Not some more vagueness. Will it be a big deal to toss out ideas?

Have to say we've given Petey the benefit of the doubt for awhile now. This crap in his play may be permanent but man it's still baffling. Hopefully Nighty can explain in 20 posts with single paragraphs.
- LordHumungous

Well I being repetitive or not you dance a lot & say nothing. Hopefully you can grow a pair & start some banter going it is a hockey blog. ‘may be permanent’ ‘baffling’ all very astute observations aka DUH. What would your course of action be or total non action til when?

Ovechkin is a terrible example, when he had that off year, he still scored around 40 goals.
- Reubenkincade

Let alone he is a beast & hits like a truck when he feels like it. Lastly he shoots time after time.

I think there would be less crying about him being traded than there would about him not being traded. Now, whatever they get back for him could see a lot of crying, but him actually being traded...

Fast forward from late November 2023 & stating 10m max 10.5m then it was me outright dumping on EP the majority in here fought back against me & or others. No foresight plenty of bs & the same ppl moving onto to their next narrative this season with more excuses. Emotionally attached stat lovers are dreamers.

I believe you are missing the point, this kid is being paid as a top 5 player in the league, which is supposed to be top tier, yet he isn't even top 5 on Sweden, hence why he was consider the #12 forward on that team in Swedens final game and was used as the 9th forward in the other games.
This kid appeared to get benched yesterday, shortly after a minor scrum, in which he looked at the scrum, then turned the other way.
Not a type of player I would think you would be advocating to have on one of your favourite teams.

you are so perceptive, I have too provide a urine sample weekly as well, this is too ensure I have enough alcohol and drugs in my system to deal with insanity of this place.

🤣🤣👍🏻

They've already rolled the dice by giving him the contact. If this is how he repays the show of faith by the organization, they need to move him. If he's actually hurt, he needs to sit to protect the investment long term. It's not looking good though. Nobody in their right mind is gonna want to pay 11.6 mil per on the cap for the next 7 years.

Also, the kid cashed a 12 mil signing bonus this season and is due another 10 mil bonus next year. Who's gonna want to pay that with the way he's performing? It's an absolute fucking mess that's only getting worse as we progress toward his NMC kicking in.

What if the team made up some bs excuse & sat him for a few weeks to get his head straightened out?

Would the team skip a beat without his D play & never shoots or much of anything else? I doubt it

Honestly, the time to trade EP would have been last TDL, before he was signed, you would have gotten a huge boatload for him and been better off. Now you're stuck with him because even if you manage to trade him you'd be getting pennies on the dollar for him and even if he never gets back to what he was you're worse off and if he does get to be what he was somewhere else then it's worse than the Cam Neely trade.

Hindsight is always nice no offence intended. Fans loved quoting stats & were all agog over EP when the team had achieved nothing. He was a PO passenger no show against the Oilers. Then of course same ppl go on about selling high not sell low. Followed by BS like trading the best player in a deal always loses. Now here we are today same ppl doing damage control.

"Of course, there’s pressure. I’m very happy with the contract I got, but with it comes expectations and performance pressure. I don’t think I’ve fully lived up to it, but what I’ve done up until now is done. I’m just trying to look ahead, and I know what kind of hockey I have in me. That’s what I’m focusing on," Pettersson said. (from interview before 4 Nations)

Sounds like he's not content.
- NewYorkNuck

Talk is cheap bs I oughta know lol
He’s paid big to perform. He isn’t..Period

I work for wages. Work is not guaranteed like his contract.

Idgaf what he says he’s not paid to talk he’s paid to do his talking on the ice. I see no urgency in his play no shooting no play driving. Summary shut up & play.

Not liking him is one thing, but to go on, and on, and on, about it incessantly, like Reuby, is comical. Truthfully, I kind of enjoy Reuby's misery, it makes me happy in a strange sort of way to see him so unhappy all the time.
- Pacificgem

EP sucking has gone on & on & on so it’s highly warranted. Just like your on & on & on his stats as if they are relevant today. Nope

I don't go on and on.
I post quite rarely, and only on Petey after there are posts on the board and after issues of his struggles present themselves, (IE 4 Nation Thingy no show and demotion.)
- carsonagenic

Truth

It’s my role to be the On & On guy so don’t steal my thunder 🤣

These were so old they all still had cords attached to them. I sold them all before I left Victoria for the motherland, the United States of America. (just so you know, that's a trigger post for suckers, don't fall for it)

I just buy Ryobi now, you can get a bag full of those down here at Lowes for $199 dollars, if something breaks just go buy another one, they're so cheap.
- Pacificgem

Lebensraum you are fan of say hi to Elon

As I said before he signed that contract, he was worth 9-9.5
, but they overpaid him, so like many players before him, that were signed for overpayment, that you would continually complain about, I took it upon myself to emulate you and several others.
I once said, every overpay, reduces the quality of player you can sign/trade for when you are ready to contend.
Enough of this for today from me, I am busy studying the top 10 picks this year, to see who I hope the Canucks select.
- Reubenkincade

Overpaying is one thing but superstar money is entirely a bigger issue. I too am looking at top 10-12 draftees 🤞

No, everything is not alright ffs. The homeless are stealing my free parking!!!

Saw Blind Melon Pearl Jam Neil Young at GM place in ‘94 I think it was. Great concert.

The Vancouver Canucks will be without their starting goaltender when the NHL schedule resumes this weekend.

The team announced that Thatcher Demko will not travel on an upcoming five-game road trip due to a lower-body injury.

As soon as RT said "it was not the knee again"... or "anything serious"... and the word "precaution"... I was worried. This has become a comical routine with Demko. The down play... followed by the bomb.
