Player Discussion Elias "NHL All-Star" Pettersson, Pt. X

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

13.9

Not bad for Petey. He’s not particularly known for his speed. That’s a second behind McDavid and Larkin who are the fastest in the league

He should have been in accuracy imo

 

[Josepho]

i'm still mad he isn't doing the shooting

 

[GetFocht]

14.5

Not bad for Petey. About a second behind McDavid and Larkin who are the fastest in the league

what

he got 13.930

Much faster than I expected.

Maybe I read it wrong, I’m at the gym

 

[Hansen]

Pettersson's high end speed top notch, he is just so good at controlling his speed that he only uses that speed sparingly in bursts. That's what makes him so shifty

 

[Josepho]

from an aesthetic standpoint watching him skate is awful though

Agreed, looks like a "daddy long legs" spider. Works pretty well though!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Lol you can tell he is so irritated by Scott Oake

 

[Fire Benning]

Eichel is also pretty fast but he kinds looks like he has to take a shit when he skates.

 

[kanuck87]

Wow, this bum looks like a bust.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Garbage performance. Can't handle the pressure

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

What happened there?

 

[kanuck87]

What happened there?

Obviously he's over-rated.

 

[Fire Benning]

Garbage performance. Can't handle the pressure

Restart the rebuild.

 

[Bougieman]

I bet he wins that puck control competition if he didn't boondoggle it at the beginning.

Ryan O'Reilly to Vancouver

Beats Rinne like a rented mule

 

[ErrantShepherd]

Its impressive how much other players keep bringing up Pettersson during this... EP so hot right now.

 

[Josepho]

i forgot how f***ing lame this was

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Just a ridiculous shot

 

[rickwiththe]

Nylander has potential though. Outplayed EP at both wjc tournaments. Being stuck in a hell hole like buffalo is not kind to swedes. Look at lehnrr and berglund.

Yeah def a talent there close to his older brother and with possibly a stronger work ethic. If Vancouver can get him cheap, it could turn out really really well.

While I don’t think anyone will come close to touching McDavid in this era, I think EP will have a legit shot of being known as the 2nd best player of this generation. Better than Matthews, better than Laine, better than Dahlin, better than Eichel, etc. etc.

Honestly you could make the case Pertersson deserves to be in every single one of these skill competitions. He’s got skilllz.

Probably so does every other forward in the all-star game.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

Yes, they also ask dumb questions in San Jose.

That's a good photo.
