Popular Post GrizzlyAdams Posted January 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2018 For those curious about his performance at centre: Elias goes 8/13 for 61.54% in face-offs Not a huge sample size, but certainly promising! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I was excited to be able to watch him at the olympics but now he gets a much needed rest to be able to come back even stronger after and smash records, and I like the snub response 2 goals atta boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know the quality of centermen in that league as far as faceoffs go? This stat looks great and if it can translate to anywhere close to that in the NHL then we MUST keep him in the center position. With that said, I would imagine that the talent isn't typically NHL-class so not only is this not a huge sample size, but the results are probably skewed to some degree.

Kushman Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 read that the Swedish team left two forward spots open that they'll announce in the next couple weeks. Still a chance Pettersson makes it? There's still hope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceoffs are less talent-focused than other aspects of the game. It has a lot to do with strength and technique. Typically it becomes a test of strength if cheating is kept to a minimum so for Elias to have those numbers as a lanky teen vs 30+ year old men, that's extremely promising. To tack on a massive caveat though, there is also massive grey area where a win that is not clean still counts as a win but causes trouble for your team trying to set up during a PP. Conversely while a dirty loss counts as a loss, if you are holding the puck out of harms way in the defensive zone, it can be super useful.
