Hey Forza,

 

What says the commentator before the of the third about Elias and Vancouver please?

 

Edit : Before his second goal :DD

 

A vacnouver fan in the arena, we see Petterson, you like Elias obviously.
If he takes that one off there may be a Dahlén one under there aswell

Canucks picked Pettersson #5 overall, and his improvement this year shows they know what they do over there in Vancouver
#1 in SHL scoring and leader of the play-off scoring. What he is doing on the is is on an incredibly INCREDIBLY high level.

Thanks for the update. I disagree about Lind as well. Just listening to Ryan Johnsons recent interview and he shed some really important light to me about Lind. Which is he is pretty shocked about the difference of hockey in the WHL compared to the AHL. Johnson goes on to state that he is happy with his progress as he is taking it all in stride and is taking the humble approach and watching and learning. Some prospects aren't ready right away. Some need to see what it's like to be a Pro every day all day on ice or off it, so to me it's still a win that he is taking this information and not getting cocky about it, and not taking this opportunity for granted whether he plays or not. 

Yeah, I don't see the comparable with Shinkaruk.  Lind is not afraid to go to the hard areas and doesn't simply feast on powerplay time.  Lind at 19 is already 2" taller and about the same weight (although I don't buy Hunter being anywhere near 190 unless something drastic happened the past couple years).

Ya I'm going to have to agree. Those comparisons are bogus.

I would be, I'm surprised when any rookie gets over 60. It's an incredible feat... 

Usually I would agree, but he isn't a "rookie" in the sense of a typical 19 or 20 year old coming out of the CHL.  He has basically been playing at the same level as the AHL in a men's league (some would argue higher level from a skill perspective but maybe not a physicality perspective) and was the league leading scorer and probably best offensive player.

 

He turned 19 after the beginning of the season.  He is only going to get better. I think this kid may really surprise some people especially if he has the right line mate (s) and opportunity like 1st unit PP.

"Congratulations to the 3rd victory"
- Thanks alot!
"why did you win this game?
- Ehh, I think we got out ok, Skellefteå came out good in the second after their goal i think we take the game. The third period is out best and we close the game in a good way.
"I was looking and thought it felt a little sleepy in the Växjö troup today, yet you had power to turn it around with 2 goals in the second, how did you feel half way into the game?"
- I agree, Skellefteå made it hard for us with fast plays and we didnt forecheck as good as we use to, but we saw what we did wrong an could turn it around.
"As an old coach i see players that reads stuff all the time and my feeling about you is that you take steps, you are infront of the goal, youre screening and scoring yourself.
How do you feel? Do you learn stuff for every day that passes?"
- Ehh, im trying to get better every day and when im on the ice i always try to see where the next play will be, if its best to go infront of the net for a screen, to find a spot for an open pass or to get in position for a shot. I always try to be 1 step ahead.
"Congratulations to the victory and to a great game."
- Thanks! I am getting ready to dominate the NHL now for the Canucks together with Dahlén and Dahlin after we win the lottery this year. SWEDEN POWER!

I’m thinking you added the bolded. But I like it anyway!  :gocan:

I understand all of that. Regardless it's still surprising and impressive. It doesn't happen often.

My point was it wouldn't be that surprising if you look at what he has actually accomplished at his age in a high level men's league compared to 19 year old rookies coming out of junior hockey playing against 17 and 18 year olds.

I understand your opinion, I just don't agree. I think he can do it, I'd be surprised still though. I hope he gets over 80 haha but we shall see.

It is an Oilers scout. They don't exactly have the best drafting record outside the top 5 picks they're handed year after year.

He had a nice interview after the game... my Swedish is a bit rusty.

But I think he actually said we're probably going to win the first pick overall and looks forward to playing with Dahlin.

Awesome. EP is the good luck charm that will finally get us that #1 overall pick and ultimately, the Stanley Cup.

Its easy to say after the fact too. Lol.  He could just be saying that to make himself sound good.
