Call me insensitive, but between Brock’s mental fragility, Pettersson’s delicate demeanour and Demko’s knarly knee, this teams core has the strength of a newborn fawn. The lack of team toughness is one thing, but the mental ineptitude of these pathetic spoon-fed Gen Zers is downright embarrassing.

Bunch of pussies representing this team.

No franchise players. A paltry THREE fuckin’ Canadians, zero truculence, no entertainment value, modest prospective youth in the system, incompetent ownership and a superannuated senior staff.

Other than that, I really like the way things are shaping up.

MPetey hasn’t impressed this year. The AAV isn’t bad for a #4, but the NMC makes it an atrocious contract. It doesn’t help that he’s been playing like a #6.

when he was paired with Myers, everyone looks worse.

I submit that a middle pairing dman worthy of $6M does not look that much worse regardless of partner. The partner can lead to a poorer +/- and whatever fancy stats you want to employ, and he may be out of position a bit more often trying to cover for his partner. However, it doesn’t lead to being out battled, outsmarted, taking stupid penalties, and making bad passes, to the same level that we have seen. He has no shot to speak of, and he’s not rushing the puck or handling it with much efficiency.

One can argue he’s a reliable #4 on a team with Hughes, Hronek, and (for example) Tanev, behind a competent forward grouping. He has never shown being worthy of $6M + NMC.

Good thing he makes less than 6.

More like the plywood tanks the Canadian Army had in the 30's. Looked like a tank, but everyone knew better.
