The compete level by EP40 is truly impressive. He puts on another 10-15 pounds and it will enable him to make moves that will amaze even more. His physicality will likely wear on him over a number of games but he is developing a base to work from. 

Imagine his shot. Might rival Matthews once he packs on muscle.

Game 3 is gonna be where Petey really gets his chance to shine. There is no way Horvat doesn't get a little more attention after what he's done in these first 2 games. Can you imagine what Petey could do with an extra 2 secs here or there? He's been great in both series so far taking the abuse( ie. Hartman,Foligno, Petrianglo,Perron),i didn't honestly think he'd fair as well as he has. He's definitely out of this world. Looking forward to Sunday, 2 goals 2 assists for Mr. pettersson

The Canucks will also have the advantage of last change for the next two games. Green will be able to get much better match-ups for Petey. Can't wait to see what Petey and the Lotto line as a whole will be able to do with some extra time and space!

Petey's gotten a bit better on the dot. Not great strides but enough to have him without Miller.

 

Still probably gonna take the least amount of draws but it's good progress.

 

The top 6 we have is gonna cause trouble for Vegas. 2 lines that could pop in you try to match up vs one.

The harder you check him, the better he plays.  The kid is like both Sedins and Burrows mixed into one player.

And that resilience is rubbing off on the whole team. Love the heart on this kid.

 

The Forsberg and Datsyuk hybrid comparisons are really coming to life now and it's only his second season..

Pettersson has stepped up whenever challenged.  It's easy to forget that he's only turning 22 this Fall if you just watch him play.  His focus and drive are incredible.

 

I did not like the hit Reilly Smith made on him in the neutral zone last night.  It was shoulder to shoulder and was praised as such, but from the TV angle, it certainly looked like it could have been one slight misstep away from a blindside hit to the head.
