PunjabiCanucks Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Not sure if this has been shared on the Canucks forum today. Dahlin was interviewed today about the 2018 draft and his views of Pettersson. He thinks Pettersson is an unreal player and he is fun to watch him play. He thinks it would be awesome to play with him, and says if you give Pettersson the puck you will get an assist. https://www.sportsnet.ca/650/canucks-central-at-noon/rasmus-dahlin-nhl-draft-aspiration-play-bigger/ rasmus-dahlin-with-shah-and-auld-cc-20180314-Interview.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It's like dangling food just out of a starving man's reach. There's probably a term for this based on someone's poetic justice torment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably a term for this based on someone's poetic justice torment. The word is "tantalizing" from the Greek myth of Tantalus, who was punished by the gods by having food and drink being held just out of his reach for eternity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalus Quote Tantalus's punishment for his act, now a proverbial term for temptation without satisfaction (the source of the English word tantalise[19]), was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches. Whenever he reached for the fruit, the branches raised his intended meal from his grasp. Whenever he bent down to get a drink, the water receded before he could get any.

The possibility is still a neat thought though. Ill be elated with any of Svechnikov, Zadina, Boqvist, Bouchard. Wahlstrom, Tkachuk, Veleno, Hughes, Dobson. the top ten is chock full of good players.

You see them as great, gifted, talented players. You know what? I see them as that too. But I also see them as the nect member that will be on a team that will get shutout for 4 of 5 games in some part of a season in the future.

He says he doesn't really know anything about Vancouver as a city or a team... It's a polite introduction. Plus, I liked hearing what he said about Pettersson...

I would say we're overdue no? Would it not be fitting for our fate to change with the emergence of the next top 2 Swedish prospects? I'm sick to death already of the sulking Canucks fans.

He can let teams know he will hold out from any team except the Canucks. Let him fall into our laps wherever we land in the draft. https://www.foxsports.com/nhl/story/how-jaromir-jagr-may-have-manipulated-the-1990-nhl-draft-in-his-favor-090116?amp=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
