I saw it once during the Calgary game. Didn't notice against Edmonton, but it's hard to tell on the broadcast.

People are so fixated on Pettersson that they missed the entire point of this post. It has to do with the fact that 15 #Canucks had a xGF% below 50% at even strength which is far from ideal.

According to Natural Stat Trick, the only #Canucks who finished with an xGF% over 50% at even strength tonight were Quinn Hughes (65.71), Center Elias Pettersson (61.76) and Jake DeBrusk (52.00)

Kierszenstat of the Day: Quinn Hughes will turn 26 after the #Canucks play their next game. Unless he records six points, he will rank 11th all-time among defensemen in NHL history. He is currently at 410 points while Dave Babych sits in 10th place with 415

You just wrote that people from Alberta think they are the center of the universe, and you claim to be from Alberta. Maybe you should log off for the day.

Penalty kill has been great so far. Good to see that they are rotating. Ensures players are always ready to jump over the boards.

There has been some debate online about Arshdeep Bains but he is earning his spot in the lineup. According to Natural Stat Trick, through two games, he has played 3:07 on the penalty kill, with the #Canucks giving up just one shot and one high danger chance during his minutes.

You just burned yourself with this comment. Basically called yourself desperate for attention. Incredible work.

Quinn Hughes is now the #Canucks all time leader in points by a defenceman

Adam Kierszenblat @adamkblat.bsky.social · 1d

#Canucks have nine shots through two periods. They are on pace for 14 (13.5 but we will round up) shots tonight which would be tied for the 13th fewest in a regular season game in franchise history

Writing don't be a child is a very childish thing to write. Just saying.

Since so many people seem to disagree with this statement, here is an article from the National Post about cheering against the #Canucks in 2011

A good time to remind people that back in 2011, people in Toronto were actively cheering for the Bruins over the Canucks.

Before #Canucks practice started, center Elias Pettersson was skating and chatting with both Sedins.
