Canucks Curse Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 he looks bigger but he doesn't need to get much bigger his game is not about size and too much muscle might not be good for him, like Brock looked a little bulky to start last year and when he leaned down a bit the goals started to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think you may see Horvat play in that same situation. TG can always role Ferland Miller Pearson on the next shift and adjust back from there. With all the different quality variations available this could be interesting especially in game and on the fly. Having said that I am also hoping for some consistent line combinations that work. Exciting times. Thats going to be very fun to watch this year, I think we're going to see a lot of situational changes within games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he's gained weight around the mid-section as well as his lower-body, which is probably where he needed to add the most. Still gotta work on his arms though but he's definitely heavier now. He's about the same size as the Sedins. The left picture on the bottom is when he signed his ELC last year, so it's from over a year ago. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 13 hours ago, PunjabiCanucks said: I do see a drop, but maybe down 2% . 18% of his shots being goal is doable for someone of his stature. Now lets say 200 shots, that 36 goals. I agree, I think he will have some slippage in %, but not major. He was incredibly efficient in his shots last year, with most of them being prime scoring chances. I think the answer for him will be to shoot much more often. Also, very few of his goals were due to miss plays or bad positioning by the goalie, most were just absolute snipes that they had no chance on. I'll bet he comes in at about 15%, but with 60-80 more shots and a similar goal total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the bottom two pictures are Petey. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only use I would have for these clueless talking heads is to shove one of them under the tire of my truck when I get stuck in mud....but I doubt they would get much traction!

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Elias Pettersson: "I'm really motivated, I'm really happy to be back. I'm excited to see all the guys again and meet the new guys too." “This summer I knew what I was preparing for. I worked a lot on conditioning, so I could play a full 82-game season and hopefully playoffs.” On progressing next year: “I’m not expecting anything. I’ve been working out a lot. I want to get better every day” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
