What if he gets 50? And has like 12 to 14 game winning goals? I will say it now Elias heats up and has a better second half than first half! With 40 he doesn't win the hart but he will get some consideration! 50 he gets it! Only if the Canucks make the play-offs. And their may be others with better credentials but the NHL is about advertising and Elias is making headwinds across the board! What better than having the super rookie lead the canucks to the promised land score the winning goal on the first upset in the play-offs and not looking back until the third round when a unnamed Referee makes some Phantom calls. PS Elias has 5 game winning goals since DEC 5th! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Elias has 5 game winning goals since DEC 5th! Canucks finished at the bottom 4 of the last 5 years, and to have a rookie come aboard, break records, be a lock for the Calder by New Years lol and wills the Canucks to a playoff spot - that would be incredible, and I'm not sure there would be a better NHL story out there. There might be slightly better players in the league, but those are not rookies and they play on Cup contending teams. For a small Swedish kid to suddenly raise the Canucks from the ashes and get them into the playoffs during a rebuild would be insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little worried about wasting time this year watching the chase for hughes. But man I can't wait until they play! I have watched every rookie highlight package available on You tube and man, At half a season he has just as many top tier highlights as any Calder winner! The thing the NHL needs to consider is this -"If Elias does win the Hart this year who really has a shot when he is leading the league by a land slide in years to come?" In my mind this is the last year for a while where the Hart will be up for grabs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I found the NJ game very depressing. Super early start, team looked dazed, no goals from the Canucks, specifically no points for Pettersson. Am I getting spoiled? I've been very aware of Pettersson's points production and I sometimes shake my head in disbelief at his shot. I don't even see it once it leaves his stick,. He shoots a laser, the top corner of the net twinges, and then the goalie reacts to make a save, if he reacts at all - in that order lol I was also unsure how positive I would be this year or if I would be dreaming of drafting in the Top 3 again. Pettersson has made the Canucks an exciting team again. It feels like they could beat any team on any given night if he's playing. The media during the OTT game went on and on about how the Sens just don't give up. Well, the same could be said of the Canucks too. Just something about this year, Pettersson won't be denied. I believe the Canucks are going to make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If the Canucks somehow make the playoffs on Pettersson's back, he has to get at least a little bit of Hart consideration, even if he isn't in the top ten in scoring. "Played judged most valuable to his team" We're much worse off without Pettersson than most other teams are without their superstar player, with the possible exception of Edmonton.

48MPHSlapShot Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Seems as though the outrage over the lack of response to the takedown of Pettersson in October was justified, as people continue to take liberties. And, surprise surprise, no response yet again. Disgusted. Absolutely disgusted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where'd Luongo? Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Honestly this one is ridiculous, those of you calling for retribution just give your head a shake. It was a dirty play but what are you gonna send in guddy to drop a skinny 18 year old kid? All he deserved was a 2 minute penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Canucks Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I hate seeing Pettersson injured, but this was nothing like the Matheson incident. This time, Pettersson just went down awkwardly. I want to know if it was his knee or his ankle that was injured. Some people are saying knee, yet from one angle, it seems like it's his ankle that got the worst of it. I just hope it isn't as bad as it looked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what's going to happen next time as well, until somebody on our team actually grows a pair and sets the damn precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be running the opposition as restitution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosby played the first 2 years without an injury though. back to back 100 points. Pettersson got 2 injuries before a halfway mark of a season. Both Injuries happen to be with bad intentions.

Ahhh I remember him being injured for several consecutive seasons in a row in his early years. I think he was pretty much constantly dealing with injuries in his prime years because everyone made him a target... I hope that isn't the case for Petey but I am starting to understand what Pittsburgh had to go through and it really sucks... Get well soon Petey we miss you already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
