Is there a quest to that? I thought is was only a backroom robbery you do

I gotta try that

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-prospect-jett-woo-scoring Canucks defence prospect Jett Woo beginning to pile up points in WHL The crowd at the Langley Events Centre erupted after the first goal of the game on Saturday night. But the home team hadn’t scored. No, it wasn’t a Vancouver Giants goal, rather it was one from Canucks prospect Jett Woo, playing for the Moose Jaw Warriors. The host Giants ended up tying things up and went on to win 2-1 in overtime, but the main takeaway for many in the building after this game was the play of 18-year-old defenceman. The Canucks selected the 6-foot, 200-pound blueliner 37th overall, in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft. At the time, he was seen as more of a defensive specialist, with the penchant for laying big hits to unsuspecting victims. The hits are still coming for Woo – it only took him just 25 seconds to lay his first hit on Saturday – but what has accompanied is point production, making him even more intriguing of a prospect than a year ago. In his draft year, Woo produced 0.57 points-per-game. That isn’t an impressive number, but it’s one that was likely diminished due to injuries. Woo suffered a separated shoulder 18 game into last season, missing six weeks of action. Shortly after returning to the lineup, he was sidelined for nearly a month with a strained oblique muscle and hip pointer. It may have been a blessing in disguise for the Canucks, as he was producing at a 0.76 point-per-game clip before he got banged up, which helped him slip into the second round. That pick is looking better and better by the day, as Woo has turned it up after a slow start to this season and is hovering around point-per-game territory – now at 38 points in 39 games. That pace puts him ahead of other notable WHL alumni in their draft +1 seasons, such as Morgan Reilly, Travis Hamonic, and Matthew Dumba. Woo’s pace really saw a spike the day after being left off Team Canada’s World Junior camp roster in early December, a team also coached by his junior coach, Tim Hunter. He had a goal and three assists in the Warriors’ next game, and has put up 22 points in 18 games since the snub. He’s now among the highest-scoring defencemen in the WHL, ranking seventh in total points this season. Of the six players with more points, only 2019-draft eligible Bowen Byram is younger than Woo. All of this certainly bodes well for Woo’s chances of making the transition to the pro ranks when the time comes, especially when you remember that offence isn’t the main calling card to Woo’s game. It’s this: For as polished as Woo can look at times, he’s still just 18 years old and – if he doesn’t make the Canucks out of camp next fall – will have one more season in Moose Jaw to refine his skills before making the transition to pro. He’ll be a strong candidate to make Canada’s World Junior team too. That would likely be for the best, although between his amazing name, electrifying body checks, and the Canucks’ total lack of right-handed defencemen in the pipeline, it might be hard for fans to wait that long.

Did I click on the "Around the NHL" forum by accident?

I have that white Arabian I call Petey and this Tennesee Horse I call Horvat

Does anyone else name their horses after Canucks players?

That's what I am seeing now and in the future. Even though I think Juolevi and Hughes are going to be very good NHLers, I can't see them more than 2d's either.

JV can't skate fast?

Ok respectfully though even when we went to the SCF we did not have a top D. The Canucks never had a top D since maybe Ohlund.

In my mind Petey has already taken over the mantle of the number one center on the team. Horvat is my awesome number two center. The thing is, how many winning teams do you know has the captain on the second line?

It's not just offence. The team just doesn't look the same without Petey. Horvat would be a great AC but Pettersson is more captain material to me. Not only does he drive the offence, but he makes players that much better while still being to elevate his own game. If you take Horvat in his rookie year and Pettersson in his rookie year, who in your mind looks more like the future captain.

Just a question, If Edler retires a Canuck, would he be in the Ring of Honor or Jersey in the rafters?

They should have but unfortunately the Canucks don't jave anyone on the team who play like jerks.

What scares me is that for the two periods the Canucks did not have Pettersson, the offence totally looked awful.

All the rookies get it, after this Pettersson learns a bit more any knows to get out the way next time.

What I saw was plain and simple, two rookies battling it out to see who better than the other. Then one got over zelous because he is afterall a rookie and got tangled up. No need to talk about protecting Pettersson and retrobution and all that just a couple of rookies making rookie mistakes. Pettersson is not seriously hurt because if he was he would not be traveling with the team so not a big deal.

Can we trade him to the KHL for Hansen?

Not yet. As good as Pettersson is, you could argue that while Horvat is not scoring as much, he is as critical to the Canucks as Petey is.

Love Pettersson but can't give Pettersson the Hart. When you look at what some of the things other players around the league are doing and Pettersson is ranked in the forties in terms of scoring, what Petey is doing is incredible but you can't take away from the likes of Kucherov, MacKinnen, or even McDavid. Let's just enjoy the ride the awesomeness of the first Canuck to win the Calder since Bure.

I just hate the bias towards the Eastern teams.

He's getting adjusted for when Jack Hughes comes in.

Play more games with higher minutes. I like it.

This kid's offensive upside was totally underrated in the draft.

I was thinking more in the lines of the amount of assists and goals they would have had if the duo was healthy.

The way the NHL is scoring these days, the 112 mark is going to going to be erased very quickly. Just look at the amount of scoring in the league now, ever since they regulated the size of the goalie pads, everything has changed on the players side. Shooters actually have some net instead of the wall of pads they had to sneak into. These scoring records are going to be broken very quickly.
