EP40 first game back helps the tank. -3 and sucking ass. Still falling down.
Looks like EP40 getting the hate now. No more JT Miller, Horvat, or Hughes to pad his stats.

Can’t seem to paste a tweet here but Pettersson has the most points over 500 games as a Canuck than any other player in franchise history.
Hate him or not, can’t argue with facts.

meh, kind of just facts of how a player at one point, potentially could have been the greatest Canuck player in franchise took, one of the biggest career dips people have seen in NHL.
From top 5C in the league to a 2nd Liner.

Yeah Petey looked like one of the best forwards in the league for a while. I was blown away
But for whatever reason he became a total dud

I think it's a motivation/drive thing. Even years back, there was a time it was said that he got really into fashion stuff, to the point it was a distraction. and then there was a time he was on social media too much? add in that one of the issues talked about during the JT feud was that JT wasn't happy with EP's off season prep. and then after the Hughes trade, people saying Hughes had issue with EP's work ethic. EP having just gotten married (to a social media influencer) before the season began, likely having been dating for the year before (throughout the drama), i can see how that may also have played into it.
EP might be one of those guys who just wants to live his life and enjoy it, while also being able to play hockey, as opposed to the guys who live and breathe hockey. There are players that are described as "hockey nuts/nerds' (like Hughes), but i've never heard EP described that way.
Once he proved he was a good player that belonged, his motivation/drive went elsewhere. In the best interest of every party, I think the guy needs a change in scenery. The stench from the drama still lingers.

Remember when he first came here and he was going over like 30 separate points of movement on his wrist shot or whatever, practicing shit over and over and over again… the fuck happened to that player and mindset?

Also his addiction to gaming to the wee hours in the morning knowing he has practice the next day. EP40 is the definition of talent but lazy. He thought he was king shit coming from SHL. Then he won the rookie award in the NHL. After that players would figure your game out and play you hard. And he wasn't ready for that.

Absolute cinema in the oilers jets game tonight. Pickard was visited by Domenik Hasek on Christmas or something. Nuge scrapped. Love it.

Wow, Canucks can't tank if they keep going into shootout.
Lankinen is 17/17 this season.
48/54 in his career.
Shootout specialist.
