I'm more concerned about the skinny guy that gets knocked down all the time. He seems discouraged.
Doesn't matter if he's making $750.000 or 3 mil. If he's not really qualified to be on the team's power play, why is he?

… your calling our leading PP scorer ‘not qualified’?

The only reason he was kept on the team is BECAUSE he is 750k AND qualified for PP!! His only skill set is in front of the net.

You're not qualified to say he's not qualified. :D

I still say Pettersson is playing tentative. He does not want to physically engage. He needs to push through that and I think he will. If he doesn't then aren't we smart only locking him up for three years. Still own his rights and trade his ass.

Meanwhile Gomer is wrestling with himself trying to determine whether Petey has lost his confidence

... or if Petey has lost his confidence.

Keep us posted #postcount! :lol:

Well, if he fights thru adversity like Micky does, he will be right as rain. It's probably Mick's greatest strength.

Petey hasn't lost his confidence, any more than Micky has.

He's just a little discouraged is all, it's not like he's demoralized or anything ;)

Taking the guy with the most power play goals off of the power play though. That might just discombobulate the opposition.

Ol' Micky might just be onto something here after all ;)

Wow. Lots of love for Chiasson in this thread. Didn’t see that coming for a guy who had one goal bounce off his foot as he flailed on his stomach, and another goal when Petey hit his stick. Suddenly he’s a regular Thomas Hornqvist. When Chiasson is the leading PP scorer, it says more about how much the PP sucks than anything else. Well guys enjoy those Chiasson jerseys you must be buying, I guess.
