The Petey Predicament

[Megaterio Llamas]

I'm optimistic about Petey. I think it's mostly in his head, and it seems he is getting at least closer to the player he used to be.

Do you think he'll be on the Olympic roster Per? I've been thinking about this lately.

I think so. Based on last season, he shouldn't be, but based on what we know he can do, he should.

And frankly, I hope the Olympics could be a game changer for him.
A change of environment, back to his roots. If that can nudge his mind back into the right focus, he can bring that back with him to Vancouver.
Get the monkey off his back.

Glory Days for Petey had, for the most part, Miller and Horvat joining him down the gut.

I don't see him accruing several 100 point seasons with the current state of the Canucks centre position, let alone forwards.

He is out against top top most nights.

I call BS on that one Per.

Sorry man...

Yeah, and if he repeats the 4 Nations experience where he ended up getting benched.....I don't want him bringing that back to Vancouver.

I think getting passed over will be a better kick in the ass for him.

Even if he doesn't score, he's got what you're looking for in a fourth-line center in a tournament like that: he's pretty good on the dot, checks like a demon, and throws himself in front of shots with reckless abandon.

And you have that katent scoring ability that, who knows, could emerge at some point.

Not sure if you are kidding or serious?

Why?

46% on face offs this year.

I'm seeing a much better effort from him in the dots the last few games. Seems to be getting better

[donlever]

Good....not to state the obvious but the team needs him in all facets.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing lately too. And again tonight.

Wasn't aware of the stats, but Donny has a point there.
