Elias Pettersson | #40 | C

[Time Lord]

Don't have too much to say about Petterson since I was mainly watching the Czechs (they're my '2nd team' this year), but people on HF say that his center, Linus Lindstrom, is one of the least talented centers on the team and isn't a good fit for the line. Also nobody on HF had anything bad to say about Petterson.

Guy has 9 shots on goal, goes bar down on one of them, after scoring in the first game as well, and your worried about when his shots come?  Power plays are part of the game as well.  This is a tough tournament, players rarely dominate all aspects of it.  I don't know what some people's expectations of Petterson are, but they are likely far too high.

Yes, but PPs make up only a fraction of the actual game.

 

Was disappointed in EPs performance today. Want to see him more noticeable and engaged 5-5. So sue me. *shrugs*

Wait until he's not sick then.

Yes, he normally plays better 5v5 than he played today. You can watch his last game shift-by-shift and see the difference yourself.

Yeah, he looks loads better here. Thanks for posting this. Tells me his performance today did have a lot to do with his illness.

I only watched the last half of the 2nd and all of the third and I get what you have been saying.  I didn't see him the lineup for long period of time and decided the coach was sitting him, due to illness.  That would make sense, as the early games aren't as tough as the later ones, so better to have him rested for the important ones.  I've seen him in a few of the Swedish games and he always seems to be visible and big threat on the ice.

 

Really, I can't imagine trying to play championship hockey while getting over the flu bug.  His energy must be zapped.  Hopefully he is on the tail end of it.

Although he may not of had his extra step offensively today 5v5, I think he played a smart defensive game out there which bodes well for him transitioning to centre eventually.

Yeah seems the illness took some of his energy away, as his last game was quite dominant and he was arguably one of the best players on the ice. I've caught a few of his games for Vaxjo and his last game was much more what he plays like normally.

That's good to hear. Honestly, it's what I was hoping to hear from someone keeping better tabs on EP than I am (I don't get much chance to watch any of his SHL games, so I basically just stat watch).

 

I still do worry about his linemates here though. It just doesn't seem like they have much chemistry. I might even contemplate switching EP to center. Might compliment his playmaking abilities a bit more.

he had 9 shots in game 1goal  with the flu seems like hes good at moment

Just absolutely filthy. Petterson looks lile the best player in the tournament so far. 

 

 

Or is that just because he's putting up pts? (Throwing shade at some in the juolevi thread).

And he's doing while apparently feeling under the weather too, very impressive.

Pretty sure I’d pass out tying my skates up if I had the flu.

Imagine our PP, Pettersson and Boeser with the snipes and Gadjovich in front of the net.

... without Edler too unless you want to see him not pass the puck to them.

Yeah, apparently his centre is one of Swedens worst, so I'm hoping the coach makes a change there because they don't seem to have chemistry. I wouldn't mind seeing him with Andersson, or EP being C for the top line.

If Pettersson turns out to be a merely "decent" 5v5 player but puts up 5 SOG per game and a PPG and/or assist every second game, I doubt there'd be many complaints.
