This. There is an art to avoiding hits. Combination of awareness, smarts, edgework. Some players have it and most never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martybyrd Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The team has to feel good today w/EPs performance. Kudos to them for not going out and chasing a stop gap 2C...Think is a perfect, very low pressure situation for Elias to get accustomed to the NHL. Elias and Bo will be a great 1-2 punch for many years... Looking fwd to watching Gaudette tonite also... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJockitch Posted September 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2018 I have been on record here a number of times saying I don't think he will be a centre at the NHL level. I will eat those words now. It would be a horrible waste having this guy on the wing. He is so good at getting the puck out of the zone and making slick passes for breakaways he would be wasting so much of his talent on the wing. He is one of those players that generates offence from behind either blue line and that is rare. Hughes is another player that is likely capable of that. Do I think he will have trouble with Getzlaf or Kopitar, absolutely but shelter him for the first couple of seasons and let him develop at centre. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he gets established in the league he's of course going to attract a whole lot of attention and abuse, but pretty clear he has PPG+ ability. He's going to feast on the PP alone, especially once we get Juolevi and Hughes in the lineup. Edited September 19, 2018 by Hutton Wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing we lost 15 of our last 17 games to be able to drop to second last overall. If we would have won 3 or 4 more games we could have been picking 7-9th overall. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I wasn't able to watch the game last night. How did Pettersson do defensively as a center? It seems he was generating offense all night, but his defensive play will determine what position he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are that good offensively the other team doesn't get chances to play offense 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rob_Zepp Posted September 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2018 After seeing him against NHL players on an NHL sized rink I conclude he is waaaay ahead of schedule. I see no way this kid isn't a dominant player in the NHL as early as next season. What a find for Vancouver Canucks. 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGT68 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I hope we get Pettersson playing with someone who can bury those breakaways and setups a little more than Goldie and Baer did last night. Kid should of had 5 assists. And that power play is gonna be gold when you open it up with Boeser on the left wall. EP dishes like Hank and shoots like Boeser. OJ up top and Bo down low the fifth body wont much matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately with this 1 game left of waiver eligibility he will be fodder for the farm. But no doubt he is tops on the call up list as soon as an injury happens. The guy is relentless in his puck persuit. He's a smaller version of Hansen, mini badger! I was impressed by him last night. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go at EP he just passes sooner. Either way he is going to make the right play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 3 hours ago, ba;;isticsports said: I think others will be worried about that and and learn to take the body next time Without a doubt... this will be one of the adjustments he'll have to learn...how to get out of a tight squeeze and not get hit. But I have zero doubt he will be able to just to that. It was very impressive, how he came in an immediately started to run the PP. He looked like he belonged right away. He will have a strong season...zero doubt about that. It was like looking at Sedin at the half wall, with the added bonus of a wicked wrister... Brock is gonna love having Pettersson around. The crispness of his passing seemed to take even his teammates by surprise... Its hard not to be excited. Not worried about how this season goes, just watching Brock and Pettersson + a few others making their entrees into the team is going to be worth all of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
