Like Cederholm, is he also not averse to fisticuffs when necessary, and if so any good at it? Yep, those are 45s. So that makes it a 225lb x15 set. Not very far from pro linebacker status, and the kid isn't 21 yet. Now...can he play? If so, and he apparently isn't adverse to playing a "heavy" game, he's could be one of those D-men that keeps little bitty forwards hyper aware of where he is, and maybe just a little distracted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very far from pro linebacker status, and the kid isn't 21 yet. Yeah, he just turned 20 this year. And he's lifting around 110% of his body weight. NHL Combine bench press is 70-80% body weight (and 15 reps at that weight would be a top-5 result). And while Gunnarsson is a 1997, the Combine had a few 1998s (including the guy who placed 1st this year). Apparently Gunnarsson is just a fitness freak. According to one HFBoards poster, he already owns some of Frölunda's all-time strength and conditioning records (most of which he apparently broke while still a teenager).

I wonder because there are clearly more than 2 plates per side, but they look thinner than regular 45s. Seen Subban's videos and he uses big plates but they aren't full 45s like most gyms use. And hard to believe he's only 205lbs, when he's clearly bigger in the pic than Gadjovich who's listed at 209. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like 3 plates per side to me. If they are 45's, that's 315. If they're Ikea plates, and 35, that's 255. Either way, the kid is a horse.

Missed that before, mostly because I watched it on my little phone screen. Whatever the actual plates are, you can tell from his teammates' reactions and comments that he's pressing some significant weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podz92 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 3 45s per side would be 270 would it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a more mobile Ulf Samuelson. Either way. I'd take a guy that can play physical without putting himself out of position any day of the week!

Honey-Badger-Hansen Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Was really impressed with how effectively Gunnarsson uses his body. Really keeps players out of the dangerous spots and makes it hard to come down the boards on him. Crushing body checks are great, but one thing I really admired watching the playoffs this year was the Ducks use of physicality to separate players from pucks. Here's hoping Gunnarsson can provide some of that effective physicality for us in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you are referring to bumper plates. They are extra wide plates all different weights. Used mostly for olympic lifts and in crossfit workouts. From https://bumperplates.com/bumper-plates-faq/: "Bumper plates are necessary when doing "Olympic-style" training movements such as snatches, clean and jerks or variations of these lifts. Using bumper plates as opposed to conventional steel plates reduces stress to the barbell, the floor and lifting platform as well as reduces the likelihood of personal injury by being able to just drop the barbell from the overhead position instead of trying to catch the load of the descending barbell." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cedarholm can step up his development over here? Oh boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fanfor42 Posted July 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) This guy is going to surprise people. Most physical guy on the ice by FAR in the prospects game. Big hits hard skates well. Very underrated so far. Same age as brisebois but way more jam. Watch for him. Played on Sweden's 2017 world junior team. Teammates were Petersson Dahlen and Dahlin. Drafted 135 which is ahead of both Hutton 147 and Bieksa 151 in their respective draft years. Great pick.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ryan Biech (Canucks Army) with some observations on Gunnarsson's play in Champions League action earlier today: He had a couple good rushes throughout his game today. He doesn’t just toss the puck away, which is encouraging. Gunnarsson also directed quite a few shots towards the net with 5 shots directed towards the goal with 2 being blocked, 2 going wide and 1 hitting the net. It’s even more impressive since he only had 6:18 of ice time. Frolunda won in overtime 5-4 over ZSC (Swiss). https://canucksarmy.com/2017/08/24/champions-hockey-league-canucks-prospects-on-day-1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Gunnarsson played 14:22 on the third pairing today for Frölunda. 3 shot attempts, 2 on goal, even, and a blocked shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
