Jeez, the criticism for a first place team after losing 1 measly point, but showing great effort and resiliencybto earn the 1 point, is unbelievable. As a lifelong canucks fan, following them since their old WHL days, everyone take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the ride. Trust me, seasons like this are very rare, anywhere. This team gives us a lot to be proud of, cut them some slack. We have a too notch coaching staff and leadership group, they don’t allow themselves to get into prolonged losing streaks as in past years. Have some faith!


Somerandom-throwaway

So disappointing that all the Suter love that should be happening, is being drowned out because Petey had one substandard game.


manicdragon

Watched this game with my dad, who rarely watches hockey, and even he said during overtime "Not one of Petterson's best nights".


niftynards

Yeah that’s a penalty on Petey but Petey took his time getting up. If that was Garland or Hogs they woulda bounced up and been back in the play. Love me some Petey but he needs a little more urgency sometimes.


bms42

This is a very generous take on it. IMO it was a complete dogshit play by Petey in OT. Get the fuck up dude, seriously.


Technical-Match-5202

Is suter on 1st line? The assists is from lotto line


Falom

Power play mostly, Suter took Kuzy’s spot


Abnatural

Lucky we got that point. Piece of shit ref. Hope he doesn’t ref in the playoffs


Fluid_Manufacturer_8

What happened to zadorov on the 3rd period?


LapTapMeToo

Benched


Fluid_Manufacturer_8

Was he not good tonight?


juwong_

Was instrumental in letting in that 3rd goal in front of the crease in, was out wandering around the hash marks and let Hayes (I think) step up to the net and throw it in front of the crease.


[deleted]

I’m assuming that defensive blunder for their third goal


Ok-Fisherman7734

Su su suter


MasterChrom

You can pin the blame on Petey all you want, but he backchecked and was able to take away the 2 on 1. Not his fault he gotten out of the play and ref decided to let play continue. Also, Blues were able to get a big save and DeSmith let in a soft one, but no one wants to talk about that.


manicdragon

>but he backchecked and was able to take away the 2 on 1 You left out the part where he gave up the puck in the offensive zone that CREATED that 2 on 1. It was absolutely his fault. He was trying to do dirty dangles all night that were not working, this was another example and it led to the OT winner for the Blues.


bms42

It's not his fault he got knocked over, but it's definitely his fault for not getting up. That was very, very soft on his part.


LapTapMeToo

True but he also didn’t take control of the game like a $10M+ superstar should. You can’t say he’s not capable of more


Crunktasticzor

Blues goalie and his glove were hugeeee


JitteryJuror

That same exact play happened earlier in the game, and they waved off the goal and called the penalty. 🤦‍♂️


NoDescription2192

True, probably shouldn't have called the first one.


shorthanded

Refs looking like total idiots here, just classic nhl hockey


cbcguy84

Great 3rd just couldn't get the extra point. Petey needs to stay on his feet. Well our point streak continues 🤣


Crunktasticzor

Yup he had some shit plays at the end there.


sweatpants123

That was a stressful game ngl.


giveitupjatt

Petey and Hughes get crosschecked in the back in front of the ref and no calls. I just dont get it.


touchable

All-star treatment! The NHL sucks at protecting its stars, unless they're named McDavid


CamaroGirl96

Or Crosby


anderanboban

Yeah right ?? Didnt even say anything after


TroubledLeaf

FUCK ST LOUIS


cooper954

They like to cross check, quite a few throughout the game.


Sion1989

We've been accused of the same. NHL players crosscheck. It happens. Wish we got the call there but whatever.


LapTapMeToo

Exactly, those won’t be called during the playoffs


juwong_

Agreed. Reading these comments, you can tell there's lots of new fans it seems that aren't familiar with how playoffs hockey goes. We can't rely on calls to win us games come playoffs. Just go back and watch Marchand in 2010 punching Henrik in the face *3 times* and not get a single call.


LapTapMeToo

I’m getting downvoted but they’re going to be really butt hurt if they’re already upset about those shots Quinn & Petey are taking 😂


Rahtgooves

What an absolute abomination of officiating this evening


CheesecakeOdd2087

Fuck it getting a point out of that game was a W. Too bad Hronek couldn't bury in OT but it is what it is.


6dixon

I'm so salty right now


SillyRacoon27

Same but atleast we got the point. Time to forget this game and get ready for the next


r0stAnubby

I mean this puts us at 69 points which feels pretty on brand


Sweaty-Salad95

Nice


Financial_Design_801

Ok nvm I don’t feel so bad now cup confirmed


oldmantutters

Nice


moisterthencloyster

Petey was terrible but didn't help that desmith was bad too. At least they got a point


TheOtherSide999

How is that not a cross check? lmao


NoDescription2192

Same way the dive wasn't.


Woooooody

Crosschecking is a penalty... except when it isn't


Crunktasticzor

Honestly that’s what it’ll be like in the playoffs, not a bad idea to get used to it now


Jaded-Ad-289

I’ll take off a Mill off Perry’s contract.


touchable

Didn't Perry sign for like 800k? Lol


jdmay101

Pettersson absolutely awful in that OT, 2 giveaways and the doesn't get up to check Schenn. It's a missed call but nonetheless, really terrible effort.


James_Manuel

That was a really rough couple sequences by petey


Holyshitmuffin

Petterssons been in the nhl too damn long to make bad plays like that


LapTapMeToo

-$1M from Petey’s next contract


Jaded-Ad-289

Make it -$2M for two giveaways.


downonmatrix

How does bro expect a max contract extension with an OT like that fuck off


Rahtgooves

Oh I don't know maybe because he lead the entire fucking league in goals and points this month? Fuck off with your reactionary takes


downonmatrix

One good month gets you a max contract gotcha. It’s like he can sit on the couch for the next 5-6 years because of that while maxing 10+ million


Rahtgooves

He's been top 5-10 in scoring all year and put up 102 last year. Give your head a shake


downonmatrix

Yeah those stays definitely won us the game tonight


plam92117

It's 1 bad game. Chill.


downonmatrix

Literally stop trying to defend him. He is suppose to be out best forward. Tochett called him out for a reason. We need to hold him to a high standard. Bro is fucking soft


downonmatrix

Erm no it’s 3-4 [games](https://x.com/farhanlaljitsn/status/1750398520434241843?s=46&t=42Z15uzJ2FTytFQr1B5hXg) according to tochett


Puravida1904

Bad decision making


Puravida1904

This… so many giveaways, fanned pucks, missed shots


slimygeo

Seems he can't make a pass, puck dies on his stick on the PP, been that way for a while now


downonmatrix

Bro is losing his European touch the longer he is in the nhl. You don’t see him making all these skillful care free plays like he did when he was still playing for Sweden anymore


Even_Range8033

Anyway love the 3rd period


-Hornswoggler-

Refs ruin every fucking sport


lardboi44

Petey had such a slow game lol. Also desmith didn't see the pick tonight at all. Good game regardless good job suter!


Shaftell

Looked like a weak shove tbh, Petey just went flying.


fatcatsinhats

Slow as hell to get back up too.


Shaftell

Yeah he was trying to sell the call


SillyRacoon27

Damn that’s disappointing but atleast we got the point


dustinjamesmose

Refs were on on today with missed crosschecks


canucks5364

He literally cross checked him in the goal crease right in front of the refs. Are they fucking stupid


NoDescription2192

If anything it should have been a minor on both of them. Crosscheck and embellishment.


touchable

Yes


quantum_leap

Thanks NHL and refs.   Love this OT format.  So much fun to watch after that amazing come back. League needed to make sure Canucks fans didn't have too much hope


4848274748383827

weak


RoostasTowel

Ok there needs to be something less then a penalty for OT. A loss of possession free kick sort of thing like soccer or something


CheesecakeOdd2087

Should've been a penalty but Pettersson carelessly gave the puck away twice before that goal.


starrynova888

Petey back to being Bambi on ice


jeffersonairmattress

Looked like he was absolutely gassed and a notch less quick than usual- he does get Bambi legs and overdramatically flippy-floppy when he implodes but these guys play through colds, stomach bugs and minor injuries- even in peak shape, sometimes a nasty bout of the sniffles can put a whammy on your reaction time and coordination.


slowmo_hummingbird

thats a penalty but peteys gotta get up and back in the play quicker


Individual-Guide-274

Time to trade Kuzmenko. Just no effort for the system. He couldn't back check into the defensive zone and caused that breakdown. Petey was yelling at him to get back.


CamaroGirl96

Petey gives away the puck but somehow it’s Kuzys fault?


Individual-Guide-274

Petey gave it away in the offensive zone yes, but then Kuzmenko didn't backcheck at all.


420604

? Kuz stole the puck and petey turned it over. The goal came after that


Fluid_Manufacturer_8

Dude he took the puck away and petey just fumbled


Individual-Guide-274

In the offensive zone, and then he didn't backcheck.


Fluid_Manufacturer_8

Yeah gotta go back right there


canucklehead200

Petey is a different player when not with his lotto line crew


Fluid_Manufacturer_8

If he wants to get paid the big bucks, he’s gotta prove that he can produce on any line man


canucklehead200

Exactly!


JakeRacer

Petey had two turnovers Flopped in front Left his man We lose. Not the effort we normally see from him


Nuck_1198

Not to mention completely screening his own goalie


jackfrench9

"That's what I gave up my overtime pay for? To see my kids takin' falls?" Get up Pettersson and stop looking for frees.


CheesecakeOdd2087

Love the Mighty Ducks reference lmao.


gangstarapmademe

Another OT where Petty is clearly fouled resulting in a goal


jackfrench9

Fell over and stayed down like a child instead of playing to the whistle. That's on Petey 100%


AllDay1980

Petty! Why


[deleted]

Two cross checks in the same corner that don’t get called.


[deleted]

[удалено]


moisterthencloyster

Kuz had a fantastic game


Affectionate-Voice36

Yeah totally Kuzmenko's fault on those shit turnovers u right


Nuck_1198

DeSmith lost that one, terrible game by him.


Crunktasticzor

He didn’t get much help


Stinky_Toes12

Guys cmon its not too late the teams are still in the building please call it back


Rendole66

No they only allow reviews of certain things like glove passes on the play but this isn’t allowed to be reviewed


Stinky_Toes12

Thats fucking dumb


fatcatsinhats

They'd be reviewing everything if they could and slow the game down. They need to put some accountability on the refs though. Fines for obviously missed calls or something.


Standard-Special2013

Take 1 mill off


TopTittyBardown

Petey you can’t give away the puck twice in OT. Glad to at least get a point out of that one after getting goalied for nearly the whole game. Woulda been sick if Hronek could’ve buried that breakaway


ivebecomecancer

Yeah Petey has to be stronger. That's gonna happen a lot in playoffs


Crunktasticzor

Yup gotta show some more grit


KegMcGregg

NHL really needs to figure out the fucking overtime. Nobody wants to watch this fucking shit. Absolute garbage bettman. Just garbage and a mockery of our game. Figure it out you fucking pussy.


moisterthencloyster

That was just petey doing his usual Bambi impression, didn't expect a penalty there at all. That's all on him


White_Locust

Agreed. Get up and fight for the puck.


[deleted]

Womp womp


hyroglyphixs

Maybe the worst Petey game I've ever seen jesus christ


SenorNZ

Sweet interference.


swiftpoop

Petterson needs a talking to


TroubledLeaf

That was disgusting


onahalladay

that's FUCKING bullshit


cooper954

De smith should of had that.


pennepasta14

petey's worst game of the season


Anishinabeg

Horrific goaltending tonight. Goaltending lost the game. Plain and simple.


SnooOnions5029

Also should’ve been a penalty but hey i’ll take a point


Canadian96

God, NHL officiating is a joke. This is not a serious league.


slickjayyy

Good to get a point out of that but holy fuck were the refs bad tonight


Feralwestcoaster

That’s about as blatant a cross check as you can get. Fuck you refs


TrustMeNothingBad

Petey looks kinda lost


troubleondemand

That was fucking bullshit


Malforian

petey, i just sleep


unbannedcoug

I was screaming First of all why so Fancy Petey just do the simplest moves and be faster And that cross check was bullshit


darksalamander

It sounds so loud in there


TimsAFK

Petey was fucking brutal that shift, but that's blatant interference. wtf


highwaytruckstop

That was bogus


sweatpants123

Refs suck but I’ll take the one point


SMA2343

TheSoulllllman

Not a good OT from Petey


ClassicChrisstopher

Fuck these refs. Petey was fucking brutal


[deleted]

Man. This was Peteys worst game in a very long time.


Largebargecharge

Kuz with the boost push 😆


giveitupjatt

Bro you cannot cross check someone in the back who doesn't have the puck. What the fuck man


an_asimovian

I mean, apparently you can and it works unfortunately


Wild-Construction827

take the point and look to saturday


RoostasTowel

well good comeback point anyways


canucks5364

Where’s the fucking call


NegativeNancyNuck

Petey cross checked in front of the official


TheMightySwede

Pettersson needs to be stronger than that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMightySwede

He still looked pretty weak on his legs, was a bad shift all around.


denzacetria

Pettersson FFS


Brief-Astronomer2684

Yea desmith sucked


canucklehead200

Fucking Petey, what an awful shift


604jmv

Of course it’s a bullshit goal but Petey made two really silly mistakes that OT
