What's it gonna take for a Canucks player to stand up for a teammate?

[JRJMC]

The lack of response by the Canucks is the worst offense here.

[gerardguitarist]

Where's the teammate shitkicking that clown for the cheap shot on our star player?
WTF?

[Rationalthinker-en]

Maybe the refs should do their job and call an interference penalty. Oh but this is hockey where officiating standards are different every game. Worst officiated sport.

[ijoltster]

I just don’t see how anyone could possibly justify this hit

[chad_b]

You mean the refs let the Bruins get away with something dirty? Shocking!

[darrellwituik]

They need to respond. Not tough enough. Stand up for your future stars and each other. Brutal game for the nucks.

[DocSpratley]

Disgustingly late, and he clearly tries to drive him into the boards.

[TheIslandDivision]

Glad to see his team standing up for him.... oh wait they're the Canucks.

[marcschuler]

This is absolutely insane. No doubt should be a call

[martinadivinnn]

Wait but Matt grzelcyk #48 the one who slammed petey actually was concerned for him after the hit. Probably didn’t mean to hurt him

[chappiescollectables]

typical blind refs at the TD. nothing to see here.

[benmadden]

i don’t care what team you cheer for, you should be able to recognize a clear penalty.

[zztbsboilingzz]

0:10 dude either apologizing or told him he let up haha

[mrtitms]

I'm an Edmonton fan that hates the Canucks (all due to players who are no longer on the team haha) and I can acknowledge that was a dirty play. Shame no teammate stepped up for their superstar.

[kevinVersus]

0:48 Millers look of concern. You know they have a special teammate connection

[FarooqRasul]

This is good for him. He needs to get used to this. In the playoffs, he will be hacked, hammered, and face washed. I am glad he is ok. Playoff hockey is about taking the hits and keep pushing forward. However, for no one to stand up for him looks awful it's a regular-season game he's your star player. This passive behaviour needs to stop with the Canucks.

It’s alright elias cause the caps or bolts will rag doll them the same way, but even worse

[kw]

Same thing happen to leivo, he was hit when he wasn’t anywhere near the puck.. he’s out 2 months., motte got hit too and he’s out a month or two.. all these 3 plays no call..

Last thing Pettersson saw before death was that camera man
