  1. Andersson impressive this tournament. That's great. I think he will be better than Nolan Patrick. Philly doesn't deserve a stud with our second overall pick because of sheer luck.
  2. Way to get back EP. Saved a goal. That's the centreman I see in him.
  3. Seems to me every Swedish forward combo has one player dragging the line down. Like that one guy in beer leugue who whenever he gets the puck, the play dies with him.
  4. Go ahead. Call him a centre. I see him more of a centre than a winger. Once he's stronger.
  5. 100 percent. EP reminds me a bit of Henrik. Uses everyone around him. That's How you create offence. Trying to skate end to end through everyone rarely works. Even for McJesus.
  6. They gave the assist to Dahlin for some reason. Should of be EP. Hopefully they straighten that out.
  7. This. Cant wit to see him and Boeser together.
  8. Defence still a ways away from what it needs to be. Pouliot is a great addition. Skill wise and age.
  9. Plus. Plus. Plus. One.
  10. What I like about Lockwood is if he doesn't pan out as a top six forward. He has all the jam, battle, speed to be a bottom six. Reminds me of Burr a little bit.
  11. Dahlin is a stud. Man I hope we can turn our luck around and draft him first.
  12. I can see what your getting at. I can agree his line is not doing a lot 5 on 5.
  13. I haven't seen any player carry the play 5 on 5 yet this tournament. No Conners or Syds here.
  14. Exactly. He is a very smart hockey player with lots of skill. He transitioned well to the next level of play back home. That is what you want to see. For his first few games on small ice I am happy with what I see.
  15. Maybe we should all temper our expectations of big numbers on small ice untill he gets the feel of small ice. You can see how that extra time on big ice would benefit him. He does have two nice goals in two games.
  16. Also not convinced he's a winger. Would like to see how he looks at center. Once he gets stronger I think playing center works more to his strengths.
  17. Sounds like you expect him to be McDavid. EP is not that kind of player. I saw a lot to get excited about in both his games. Great on ice awareness that is needed to play the pro game.
  18. Still say his game will one day transition well to the NHL's highly structured game. He uses his mind ad his biggest asset. You can't teach that.
  19. He has great instincts. Good speed and excellent edge work. Excellent mitts. Great passer. Ya, he is still filling out. Reminds me of a couple other skinny Swedes. Eventually they got strong and that worked out pretty well. He's not afraid to go into corners and to the front of the net.
  20. Ahh. The cup. First started cheering for the Nucks in 82. Loved their colors. I hear you on character. Obviously it's finding that magic mixture that works. For me if he does not want to be here than screw him. But if he does. I would think we are a better team with him.
  21. Seems to me Team Canada is the deepest, most difficult team to make. If we can sneak a second rounder in there that is making an impact I'd say Canucks drafting is headed in the right direction. Cheers to that.
