Post-Game Talk: Canucks @ 2018 World Championships (Pettersson, Nilsson win GOLD!!!)

[Billy Kvcmu]

I knows it's Belarus but
That dangle shows you the confidence he has

 

[GetFocht]

Pettersson definitely knows how to get the crowd out of their seats

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Why did they go with Hellberg instead of Nilsson?

I would have as well... did you see Nilsson play this season?

True. And Hellberg is a...well, hell of a name.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Thought after one period
You can tell that he’s slight compare to all those men, there for it’s not gonna be easy for him in a board battle.

But the skills and vision is unreal, he’s also smart in his own zone.
Find a guy who can help him out on board battle, he definitely belongs in the nhl

He plays for a KHL team located in China, that’s cool as hell

Sounds like he plays in Hellberg.

I dunno, he battles hard and if he loses the puck he gets right after it again. Kid wants it, wants to control the play and dominate out there. Sure more size/weight would help but he can play in the NHL right now. Look at Gaudreau etc... lots of players his size doin' their thang in the big league.

He may start slow in these first few games BUT hopefully he picks up a few points and the coach sticks with him because after that.... UNLEASH THE ALIEN!!!

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

please keep him away from anyone who wants to teach him to "board battle"

as gretzky said, corners are for bus stops and stamps. They're not for players like elias, he has more important things to work on

 

[Serac]

Rakell is a filthy player. Filthy as in good in this case

And on a great contract.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Elias has only had like 2 shifts this period because Belarus keeps getting gifted PP's and Backlund is on PK duty.

I was just about to say that. Short handed way too much to see Alien.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

I'd rather see him on a line with Rakell and Zibanejad since those guys are out there after the PK and looking to create offense. I think he had one shift in the final 15 minutes of that period and it was a rather quick one that lasted 30 seconds.

I dread the thought of Pettersson being stuck with a guy like Sutter next year. A black hole offensively that will be out there on the every PK and thus taking away one of our best offensive players ice time at even strength.

7:50 so far...

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Looks like Pettersson may have tweaked something... will have to watch him and see if he's moving OK.

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Pettersson seems fine... Sweden PP coming up, hope we see Pettersson out there (was on 1st unit).

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Backlund is pretty bad. Sucks Pettersson is on his line.

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Pettersson playing with Paajarvi and Vaxjo teammate De La Rose now.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Really nice shift by Pettersson then.

 

[Serac]

Pettersson's short little 5 foot passes are pretty underrated in how good they are

Vision is ridiculous...

Looks like he’s still with Backlund

May just be a hold over from shifts... seen him out there a few times with those guys though. Don't care who he plays with really... just get the kid on the ice.
