I feel sometimes like he WANTS to be a leader more than he IS a leader, much the same way that he WANTS to be a responsible two way player more than he IS a responsible two way player. I think there's some smoke there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see a top 6 like this Leip-Bo-Boes Baer-EP-Loui That may be as good as we can get at the moment, but I think only 3 of the 6 (Bo, EP and Boeser) belong in a top six. Our rebuild has a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah really. I mean, the sentence starts with “Tyler Motte”. My heart can’t handle this kind of shoddy reporting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s hoping Green can get through to him shortly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory40 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Elias : Nice pre season so far: How many twitter highlights does Elias have? Its seems endless, Its hard to find any game where he doesn't do something spectacular. and hasn't seemed to miss a beat even as we get closer to NHL caliber teams. Could see him even getting better. Usually when players are small it isn't their size that prevents them from succeeding in the NHL. It's the way they shy away from the play and stay away from tough areas (Jim Sanlack cough cough). Elias has already shown that will not be a problem at all. He is conditioned very well and uses his energy when needed. A very shifty, speedy and at times slows the pace down center ice man. Coming into the regular season some have felt Elias has been the best player on the entire team, some will insert Bo Horvat, in the sentence. Hard not to get excited about a rookie who can (in a heartbeat) find the open man or send the perfect pass or back check and take a scoring chance away (in the process blow by other Canuck back checkers). (ie Video above ,Calgary game). Doesn't play a style of game that would put him in harms way. Yet uses his frame to make separation of player and puck ie: Dan Hamhuis! Elias Pettersson completed his first season in Sweden's top SHL league with Vaxjo HC, recording 56 points (24-32-56) in 44 games played. He led his team in assists (32), points (56), plus/minus (+27), and tied for the lead in goals (24) as a rookie. His 56 points set an all-time record for most points by an SHL rookie and he was subsequently named SHL Most Valuable Player, Forward of the Year and Rookie of the Year. He added 19 points (10-9-19) in 13 games played in the playoffs, helping his team win the Championship where he was named SHL Playoff MVP.

48MPHSlapShot Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 As awful as the team as a whole has been this preseason, Pettersson has pretty much been the lone bright spot. Kid's already a star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaramel MacKhiato Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Pettersson decided to be selfish and take over the game near the end today, and we look soooo much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sad reflection of the rest of the group when a 19 yr. old rookie has to carry the rest of the team on his back! The Canucks as a group are playing like a bunch of losers. No determination, no out-muscling the opposing player, virtually no hitting .... I could go on and on. Very frustrating as a fan seeing this lackluster effort game after game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is, even when he's on his ass he's still protecting the puck and trying to make a play, and he often pulls it off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
