Ya but I feel like I can count on one hand the times someone has actually nailed Johnny, meanwhile Petey’s been destroyed so many times in his rookie year.
The only hit i remember Petey legitimately getting caught is by Paquette, the other 3 of him getting "nailed" are dirty plays such as the WWE chokeslam, MMA reverse roundhouse elbow to head, Kotk's "ooops i skated into Petey and grabbed him down away from the puck" play. which no player can really protect themselves from cos u just don't expect it. He's gaining respect around the league tho cuz he hasn't bitched about it, like crosby did early in his career. Also, Gaudreau and Petey plays a different style of game, Petey plays on a team with 1-2 legit NHL D, so he back-checks all day, dives w/ his stick to make defensive plays which makes u think he's playing defense instead of centre, fearlessly blocks shots to go on breakaways (alrdy has 40+ blks in his 1st season vs Gaudreau's 80blks in his entire career). If Petey had a better team and can afford to slack and float like goldie, im sure he'd be better off avoiding a lot of hits too lol.
