RW/C Elias Pettersson - Växjö Lakers HC, SHL (2017, 5th, VAN) Part 3

[VainGretzky]

Why, would have they drafted Makar instead of Hei?kanen at 3?

? If Canucks finished 2nd in draft where they finished in regular season they Probably would of chosen Patrick

Oh, you said Canucks dropped 2 places in the draft lottery was I assumed they were originally slated to pick 3rd since Pettersson was the 5th pick.

People are so used to Pettersson lighting it up that when he scores no one posts about it anymore?

IIRC either Benning or Linden inferred they were really high on Makar

His goal from yesterday in game 3 of the semi's.

That shot <3

With that shot, I see 40-goal seasons in his future a distinct possibility.

I sure hope he makes that goal, that dude could have held that for another freakin' few seconds. Where was the D?

Not taking away that beauty of a shot though, that guy's got a career with that kind of a wrister.

The D probably were chasing the puck, not great to just leave Pettersson all alone in the slot.

Another point for pettersson today. Time to make this thread going again.

Elias is better than hischier.

 

[schnapshot]

His release is special, love it

I have heard this countless times in this thread. “Where were the D?” “What was the defenseman doing there?” “Why was Pettersson able to walk the D so easily?”

Most goals, in almost any competitive league, are scored because of defensive lapses/mistakes and the opposing player is talented enough to capitalize. I’ve heard so many times that Ovechkin can be easily shut down, if you guard him and ensure he doesn’t get a shot off. And, yet, he continues to find open space and make fans wonder how the defence could’ve made such an egregious error. But that’s what elite talent does. People will be saying the same thing about Petterson when he’s in the NHL because, no matter what the league, elite players make even good defensemen look silly.

Elias is better than hischier.

Pettersson hasn't even played a game in NHL.

As a Canucks fan I’m still trying to not get too excited. It’s tough with how well this season has gone for him though.

[LemonSauceD]

Linden said they wouldn't have picked Patrick. They had Makar as their top choice but once Colorado took them, they went with their second option, Pettersson

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Vancouver, can you please win the draft lotto and draft Dahlin? I really want to watch Dahlin and Pettersson on the same team.
