He was supposed to be it.

He was it until the team didn't believe in his knee injury. Tocchet's & Imac's comments are the smoking gun. The Team's injury history over the last few years is all the proof anyone needs. And now Demko playing the last 2 years with 0 rotation in hip... can't make this up.

Honestly I think he should go back to being scrawny, he relied pretty heavily on those janky dekes to get around guys

Agree 100%

That slapper against Detroit haunts me. Where is that man...

this was Petey 4 months ago. He still has it in him but right now I sense he's broken hearted. He puts the blame on himself for what happened and is feeling sorry for himself a bit.

He used to do something special multiple times a game, not once every 5 months lol

Has to be one of the worst falls from grace ever. I don't even believe these clips happened anymore.

Man, actually got sad watching this

Doesn’t even look like the same guy anymore

He was until the knee injury

Too many coaching changes different style of play made regress probably

It’s still in there..

so good at his job……… yet hates the work

@nucks_talk @knopp_brady

Grow his hair out too.

His confidence with his hands has mostly returned. His shot…comes and goes. #1 thing holding him back is his mentality when receiving a pass. 99/100 his first reaction is to put on a delay and look for someone else who’s moving their feet. Vintage Petey would wheel it

Just left the club and now I’m crying, what happened to him 😭😭😭

You just don’t lose this skill and ability to play If he came back to form. Every Canucks fan would be fired up It’s between the ears more than anything now Life’s definitely hit him But with his paycheque. He needs to prepare be better than he ever has been regardless of circumstances. He needs to go to next level in his preparation this summer and come back better then ever

There’s no way this player is completely gone.. I refuse to believe it

His rapid decline is just bizarre. He should be getting better at his age.

Spoiler....

He could still be...at least he didn't quit and he still wants to be a Canuck...and that fire is still in him.

It’s actually sad man

Maybe next year?

He was and then he got wifed upped. Everyone knows a guy who gets with the wrong lady and their entire life turns into shambles.

Elias, we’re going to have you play with 91 and 74 all season - do the best you can.

He used to dominate playing with guys like Goldobin and Eriksson lol

You can still see glimpses of it but its probably all mental at this point

Rookie Petey. He was an absolute beauty!

I want Petey to get back to his ideal weight. He could fly. I want his speed back.

Tocchet and Foote robbed us from that Petey. Praying he gets it back 🙏 fire Foote ASAP!

there's still time

Yeah he needs to shoot the puck. That is his primary issue. The coach needs to tell him to either shoot, or sit in the press box.
