Gretzky and Bure in this clip... Don’t know whether to smile or cry for joy... so bloody stoked Benning pulled this rabbit out of the hat... In 20-30 years when we speak about Canucks, this season will be brought up in conversations the same way Bure is still being brought up.... and possibly even more favourably... His moves, makes people all over the world wanna get out of bed any time of the day to watch. Hopefully he can lead us to the promised land, but even should that fail, I’m sure they are already figuring out, where they will hang no 40 from the rafters. One thing I’m sure of... the days of empty seats at Rodgers will officially be over soon if not already. Watching Pettersson play is the hottest ticket in town. Just sensational... So Pettersson is a cross between Gretzky and Bure. Am I dreaming? Here is Gretzky on the left wing skating up the ice and using his great slap shot to roof it home. He looks like a 1980's version of Pettersson… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Timråfan Posted January 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2019 From Inge: "Peter var mer fysisk, men de har ganska lika spelsinne med otroliga händer och passningar. Elias har ett bättre skott och Peter var bättre man mot man, men vi har inte sett allt från Elias än" Inge compares EP with Peter Forsberg. They think alike in the game. Both has amazing hands and passing qualities. EP has a better shot and Peter was better man to man. But we havent seen everything from EP yet. Inge says he pushed Canucks real hard to choose EP and said EP were the best player in that year. He followed EP from 16 years of age. And when it all was done and Benning was about to get up Inge congratulated him and said "you got the best player in this draft". Inge also talked about an earlier draft when he tried to convince Philadeplia to get Jaromir Jagr. But they choose Mike Ritchie instead. 1 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a brief snowfall a couple weeks back... enough that when i drove past a corner store i got my truck pelted with two or three snowballs, hit the brakes and seen two kids running into a wooded area. I got out and ran across into the trail and only went about 30 feet and the two boys were huddled by a tree and crying... ugh! I asked for their names and didn't know the family name, read them the riot act about their actions and left them sobbing there. WTF?? At that age we would have been running like forrest gump and the time i did get caught i lied like hell and used a friends name in school! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not strange at all that the head hits the ice hard on a play like that. i still say matheson should pay for it.

Nucker 67 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Saw the Elias commercial again last night. That cracks me up. "Speed. Agility. Power. I am a fan of these things". lol So serious, almost robotic, kind of reminds me of the Terminator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 https://thehockeywriters.com/the-2019-calder-trophy-race/ Quote Home Commentary The 2019 Calder Trophy Race BY EUGENE HELFRICK JANUARY 19TH, 2019 The discussion surrounding the Calder Memorial Trophy race heading into the 2018-19 season felt very similar to 2017-18 as there was no one clear-cut favorite at the start. Unlike in 2015-16 and 2016-17, there wasn’t a generational talent like Connor McDavid or Austin Matthews taking over headlines as they made their NHL debuts. Of course, that didn’t mean this was a weak crop of rookies this season, as almost every team in the league had one or two rookies who looked primed to make an immediate impact right out of the gate. By the halfway point in the season, though, the Calder Trophy race has narrowed considerably. In fact, if things had gone smoothly, this topic wouldn’t even warrant discussion as Elias Pettersson ran away with the conversation early on. However, as the hockey season is long and arduous, injuries have derailed what looked like a sure outcome for Pettersson. Now, as we near the 50-game mark, there’s a real conversation to be had about who will be nominated and win the 2019 Calder Trophy. The Favorite: Elias Pettersson It’s not hard to see why Pettersson has been the favorite to win the Calder Trophy for most of 2018-19. Since his first game, he has been a complete revelation for the Vancouver Canucks, driving scoring while helping to bring the team back to relevance after they struggled in prior years. He started the season out on an absolutely torrid scoring pace, posting a five-game scoring streak in his first five games while going on to score seven goals and 10 points by the end of October. Pettersson has maintained this dominating play throughout the first half, leading rookie scoring with 22 goals and 42 points in 38 games. If he had been able to stay healthy, there would be no doubt that he would win the 2019 Calder Trophy. Elias Pettersson has been an absolute sensation for the Vancouver Canucks throughout his rookie season. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan Hayward) Unfortunately for the Canucks and Pettersson, though, injury struck the rookie star. While it hasn’t been a season-ending ordeal like what happened to teammate Brock Boeser, there is always a concern when your rookie star is unable to take the ice. And much like Boeser from last season, missing too much time can turn a Calder Trophy win into just a Calder nomination 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushman Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Is that leg/knee still bothering him? After the goalie knocked him down yesterday he looked like he couldn't put weight on his leg as he skated off the ice. Granted he didn't miss a shift, but that looks worrisome considering it wasn't even a play where it looked like his leg was involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully unrelated and if it is, hopefully the break here gives him more time to heal it and strengthen around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still played great after it happened, but he did seem a little off. Hopefully it was just a slash or something that stung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
