Former Canuck Brendan Morrison singles out Pettersson for his play
There's been lots of narrative around Thatcher Demko and his injury in the last few days. There's also been a number of talks regarding Elias Pettersson's most recent performances.
The former Canuck forward Brendan Morrisson was on Sekeres and Price and didn't hesitate to call out Elias Pettersson's behaviour in the Canucks' first two playoffs games. A veteran of 934 Regular Season NHL games, Morrisson had a message he meant to direct at Pettersson:
"Pettersson needs to get going...I didn't love his body language after he missed, head back & shrugging his shoulders...he's a driver, he just needs to keep shooting the puck." #Canucks
Everybody knows the Canucks will need Pettersson in order to make it past the Predators, especially with Thatcher Demko sidelines for the next little while. Since signing his massive extension, the Swede's play hasn't been at the level that led him to the NHL's starts of the month back in January.
Morrisson shared his views on what he'd like to see from the Power Play to get it going. Based off of what we've been seeing during the Canucks' practices, the Canucks could be going back to the strategy that worked so well earlier in the season:
"They really brought three guys high...look to manufacture some one-time shots...shooting pucks a little quicker." #Preds
