Support the legend IZZY!!: https://x.com/izzycheung37 Why Elias Pettersson’s Ice Time is a Major Concern for the Canucks Despite being Vancouver’s cornerstone forward, Elias Pettersson has seen unexpectedly low minutes under Adam Foote — and it’s something the Canucks simply can’t afford.Here’s what we cover in this episode of Locked On Canucks: 🔍 The Ice-Time Disconnect According to recent analysis, Pettersson ranked 8th among Canucks forwards in 5-on-5 ice time through two periods of a recent game, logging just 7:39 — and even after special teams, he trailed many peers. In contrast, lesser-yielding lines and forwards saw higher usage, raising serious questions about line deployment and trust in the top guy.As noted in media commentary: “Coach Foote needs to play his No. 1 centre more.”  ⚠️ Why This Matters So Much Pettersson is on a massive contract and carries the team’s offensive ceiling. Under-utilizing him chips away at that leverage.Regular minutes build rhythm, chemistry and momentum. With limited deployment, Pettersson’s ability to drive line chemistry and carry the attack suffers.Ice-time disparity can affect confidence. Watching peers play more while you sit on the bench sends a message to the roster and to Pettersson himself.If Vancouver truly wants to contend, they need their best players fully engaged and trusted. Not just in name, but in role and minutes. 🎯 Questions for Foote & the Coaching Staff What criteria are being used to limit Pettersson’s minutes? Is this strategic load-management or a deeper trust issue?How is chemistry with his linemates being measured, and is Foote adjusting deployment accordingly?With the team lacking depth and relying on its star players, will Pettersson see a usage uptick — or will this trend continue and hamper their goals? Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

That Canucks got worked by the Penguins today like it was 2017. Speaking of which, did Joe Lebate's Line play more 5 on 5 minutes than Elias Pettersson's line throught 40 minutes... Yup. Mmm...I wonder why we lost. Not got enought,  Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

No one believed in the Toronto Blue Jays heading into the 2025 season. Most experts pegged them as a bubble playoff team, with a better chance of missing the postseason than making it. Now, they'll battle the Los Angeles Dodgers for the World Series. On today's episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan also discuss whether the Vancouver Canucks can pull off a similar feat. Ironically, they were listed in about the exact same spot as the Jays in preseason rankings, the narrative around both teams was eerily similar. The boys also get into their favourite stories about the Vancouver Canucks so far in this young season.  Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Best of luck to Filip Chytil on a recovery. Take your time. It's hockey. After getting rocked by Tom Wilson, once again, Chytil had a tough time getting up. And once again, the Canucks do nothing about it. Anyways, what was the score of this game between the Canucks and Capitals?    Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The Vancouver Canucks have proven that hangovers are curable. They've proven that it's okay to sleepwalk into a contest as if they've embarked on a Granville Street pub crawl. In another night where they went down by two goals, the Vancouver Canucks were saved by a birthday boy, a trio of minor leaguers, but mostly by a goalie who wants some love, too. Beggsy and Bhawan react to the game, dive into report cards, and your comments after the Canucks defeat the Blackhawks 3-2. Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

It's been seven months since the Vancouver Canucks playoff hopes died at Rogers Arena. Jason Dickinson killed the Canucks playoff hopes in 2025 when he smashed Filip Chytil's face into the glass, giving the centre his fifth career concussion. Now, Kiefer Sherwood's quote, "we'll get him next year," is coming back to the forefront. On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about the hockey code, whether the Canucks are tough enough, and what revenge looks like. They also talk about the debut of the Abbotsford Canucks line and whether the Vancouver Canucks may have some triplet magic in their organization.  Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

zThe Vancouver Canucks and Elias Pettersson beat the Dallas Stars and....Elias Pettersson's Demon. No, for real, the game started with an own goal from Mr.11.6 which lead to more momentum for the home team from Texas. Boom Bam, just like that it was 2-0 after 20 Minutes since Rantanen had to create havoc in my mind. But then, the Canucks exploded for four goals in the second and saw the return (sort-of) from Elias Pettersson. Let's talk about it. Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
