C Elias Pettersson - Växjö Lakers HC, SHL (2017, 5th, VAN) Part 2

[Keep Sorokin Me Babe]

I thought he was invisible at even strength prior to today; he made some nice plays in this game including a pretty goal. I'd like to see more dominating ES shifts for a player who is in his final eligible WJC, but if he keeps improving then he'll be ready for the real test in the knockout stages.

That goal was nasty

Best player in the draft

Hopefully he's overcome his cold. He's playing with a top center finally so he should look better for future games

It's not a coincidence that removing your 4th line center from the 1st line immediately makes the 1st line look good.

Having Lindstrom out there on the 1st line is worse than being on the PK. Only half joking.

The real test will be continuing to dominate his season in the Swedish elite league and playoffs.

The funny thing is, that title is shared by at least 5 other players in this draft. No joke.

[Elias Pettersson]

Pettersson playing with the flu. Clearly below his usual level. Flubbing on one timers, a bit slower with decisions/puck movement.

And yet somehow, leading the tourney in scoring still.

 

[eviohh26]

We are not worthy!!!

 

[LemonSauceD]

hopefully we finish bottom 5 in the standings.

grab Zadina unless we draft 1st overall.

Zadina/Pettersson/Boeser

?????

profit.

Why are people so sure that Pettersson projects as a centre?

Flu? I thought it was just a cold.

 

[M2Beezy]

If he stays at 168 pounds, sure he could end up playing the wing in the NHL...

But he’s already gained 7-8 pounds since the draft. That’s a pretty good indicator he should easily be able to get to at least 185-190, in which case he will most definitely end up playing center.

Agreed. Hes gotta keep at the gym and hopefully for start of next year at 180 and if not maybe in the AHL to start the season

 

[BrockBesnar]

Flu? I thought it was just a cold.

Yes I had heard cold the other day but commentators also mentioned he was close to missing the game before this one so I have no idea.
Also not sure of accuracy of this reporter:

But still even a small cold can be a bit annoying and throw off timing for slap shots and energy level.

Didn’t one of the commentators say he was 175 during his previous game ?

Well that’s insane that he’s battling the flu while making hockey look easy. Unreal

Dhaliwal is pretty credible
