Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Pettersson had that speed and I have a suspicion this injury hes nursing is responsible. He was everywhere on pucks then poof...now hes caught standing still? Na, that has to be something health related

After blowing the 2 goal lead did she swallow the loss or spit the blame on The Cock?

I am a gentleman.

He avoided all the facials in the scrums.

So have I, and I was only born in 1979

Lol I was born in 1936 . Went to watch Canucks ( PCL ) about 1950 . Saw my first
NHL game in Montreal in 1954 and became a Habs fan.
In 1967 Vancouver applied for one of the first expansion franchises. Toronto blocked them
And we had to wait until 1970 to get into the NHL.
I been hating the damned leaves ever since.

Ok Tiger, we all knew you old... but geez!

So.... were you a leaves fan until '67? or a Habs fan? (don't worry, we won't hold it against you - although Doc will archive it for later use)

If you let reef out of the trunk he'll hold it against you

Stayed a Habs fan for many years. Always bet Montreal with Toronto fans and made beer money . Only Leaf I ever cheered for was Henderson in the Canada Russia series .

I thought he was older.

Was hoping for stories of him and Micky battling on the shores of Iwo Jima.

If I recall correctly, Henderson took a wild stab at it and fell down.

Is that Tiger with his arm around you in the front?

Pettersson seems to be passing more. There are times, when earlier in the season he would shoot, now he’s passing. Is it confidence? Doubt it, he’s a confident kid. Is it strategy to move the puck because he’s being so closely checked? Maybe. Is it confusion about what to do? Doubt it he’s got pretty good instincts. Is it an boo boo? Could be, he left the ice one game after getting slashed shaking his arm/wrist.

Something is a little off and coupled with the increased on ice attention he’s getting you can see his frustration growing. This is a good thing. He’s got to learn to battle through this. All, well most, slight, skilled players go through it.

The biggest thing the team can do is upgrade the top six. Man I’m feeling sick about trading Dahlen before we gave him a chance to ride shotgun with Pettersson. A prospect and I’m having a hard time letting it go.
