Hopefully as gets stronger and heavier, he won't be pushed around as easily. agreed. The Sedins ironically went through the same thing in their 1st 4 seasons. Canuckshub believe it's a hip issue.

Loads of skill on displal but at times looking disinterested/lackadaisical/casual and not given 100% through the early stages of camp. Then the actual "game" happens and there's something on the line and the kid just takes over as the best player on the ice. With the time there is between now and the WJC and the way Vancouver media has defined his weakness, you have to imagine a determined Pettersson will increase his caloric intake and spend more time in the gym. I watched some of the showcase, and he did look thin. He is a tremendously gifted kid who does need to beef up big time, there's no other way around it. But when you watch, he's a key part of every play. More strength and the ability to plant his feet and just take space will do him wonders, his hands and vision are already at a pro level. Almost exactly like Juolevi. Pure, raw skill and sense for the game, but needing to adapt to the North American game by trying to become more imposing on the ice. Olli is now 200lbs, Pettersson just needs to follow that. He can't be a number 1 centre in the West if he doesn't get bigger, and he knows that already at age 18... he has a decade to figure it out, but you know it won't take him that long. That highlight package from the Canada game is pretty unimpressive for the most part, until you see him on the powerplay. He's processing the game faster than anybody on the ice, and it's evident.

I'm subscribed to him on YouTube and I'm fairly certain he hasn't uploaded a recent Gadjovich video. I'm pretty sure he/she got his first game of the tournament, it should be in the Gadjovich thread.

73 Percent Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Not going to lie I'd rather he got a couple pts than the 0 pts he tallied. People can and will harp on me all they want but we would be losing sour minds if he went like ppg in this tourney. I'm not saying that this will project his career, just that is feel better about our offensive center if he had a little more support from numbers on NA ice.

Mathew Barzal Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I understand the wing isn't his position but he really needs to show more for a top flight draft pick. Tie him at the hip to the Sedins for two years please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna lie, I dunno why he wasn't awarded assists on 2 goals that I watched. (The 2-2 goal vs USA and the 3-2 goal vs Canada). Let's see how he does at the work juniors. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a summer tournament but they need to get better/less biased stat keepers. For commentary on this developing story, let's call in our resident US analyst @SabreFan1 So Sabre why are Americans such slimy stat manipulators? WMDs, manipulating scoring in favor of US players in mid-summer hockey. So much deception. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 All the goals scored on the US were fake. Fox News verified along with Julliana Assange from Assileaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
