What I am impress with EP is that even if he is "struggling" and having a bit of a "slump," he is still an a point a game player as of now.

And he’s playing really good off the puck as a number one centre.  He’s one heck of a player.

He is a #1 line center who can produce a lot of points and also very responsible defensively. Toughest piece of the puzzle of a cup winning team to find is a that dominant scoring center who is responsible defensively as well. Give him another year or two, he will become a top 5 player in the league.

7 points in 6 games is a good start wouldnt u say?:emot-parrot:and hes got the extra attention from the oposition...

That's it! 8 points in 8 games. If he can score like this until the end of the season.. hell 82 points in his 2nd year, with much more attention from the opponents.

 

Wait until EP40 and Brock find their ways back to the net, damn, this line will demolish some teams.

Petty is just playing fine

Look... hes on pace for over 80 points!!

Hes first one the team in points followed by.jt and brock his line mates.

That's a hell of a player.

At this point.. his role has changed a bit playing with JT... watch him

Hes using his skill to be a playmaker instead of a sniper...

Playmakers get more assists...just the way it is.

If he gets 20g 60a.

Im Ok with that.... we still are scoring

 

I think everyone needs to stop thinkin of petty as only a goal scoring machine

 

This shift in role will help us as we move forward

No ones saying he cant be a sniper again.. but for the moment this is working

 

 

Cheers

I'm serious Vilardi will be the best player from the draft. Glass would have been better as well. Benning sucks.

Glass comparison:  Schieffle and Linden

Vilardi Comparison:  Getzlaf and Tavares

 

Petterson, you're going to be at minimum a 4 year project and you're going to be weighed against them for the next 2 decades.

 

Good luck, welcome to Vancouver

Too bad Benning will be long gone before Petterson makes the team.

What I’m seeing,.  And it’s coming to the surface in the Rangers game this afternoon,. Is another level or evolution in EP40’S game.

He is going shoulder to shoulder and being just as physical with opposing D men.. he is standing his ground and creating more time and space because he is becoming harder to move.

Green knows what he’s doing,.  He is dealing with a very young highly talented player who is playing under the weight and strength that his 6’2-6’3 frame will mature into.

By Christmas,.  Much will balance out again.

Just imagine when EP does fill out and plays around 200-210 pounds. Given EP's competitiveness and skill level, I see a second coming of Peter Forsberg but hopefully less injury prone.

I'm really baffled at how many people think Petey is starting off slow.

 

He had 66 points in 71 games last year for a points-per-game of 0.930.

 

This year he has 10 points in 9 games so far for a points-per-game of 1.111.

 

I have to assume it's the 2 goals that are making people freak out, but I wouldn't look past his 8 assists.

I don't mind the Ron Francis stat line.

I was about to say... If this is Petey cold, I don't mind...

Points-wise he's doing fine. Considering he went pointless in his first 2 games, he's actually collected his team leading 10 points in just 7 games. By any standard that's an elite pace. 

 

The eye test does tell a slightly different story though. He's not dominating play like he was in the first half of last season, and his shot is off. Hell, he'd probably be the first person to acknowledge this as well. Luckily for us, he's talented enough and works hard enough to still put up fantastic numbers even when he's 'struggling'. 

 

Not that I've had the chance to see many of his SHL highlights from a couple years ago, but I imagine how he's playing now at least somewhat resembles how he started his 2017-2018 SHL season. Somewhat quietly putting up good numbers before he really found his game and took off.
