Player Discussion Elias Pettersson, Calder Trophy winner

[EK47]

Will center Elias Lindholm and Jesper Bratt when Carlson hockey games start tomorrow. I’m not sure how familiar you guys are with Bratt but I can confidently say he’s better than any winger on the Canucks not named Brock Boeser. Nylander and Hörnqvist will join the squad in Bratislava should that line not work out.

Bring back Pettersson to his original right wing position

Sure if we get a talented centre to distribute the puck to him. Maybe like Newhook. Horvat is perhaps not an ideal centre for Pettersson, but has shown great 2 way ability this year on the second line. It would be great if Petey could play both so revert to centre when his C went down but we are currently too weak and lack depth. Maybe Gaudette will show something in the year ro come.

To be fair, that's a really really low bar.

Turns out its futile to try and shut him down with KHL defensemen.

3 Apples today in a Sweden 6-4 win over Russia at the Carlson Cup.

Ep40 on a top line w. Jesper Bratt and Joaquim Nygard lol


Meanwhile Russias top line had Kucherov Malkin and Gusev


Markstrom picks up the win and Loui Eriksson w. 2G and 1 A

Russias top line had:
Not EP - Not EP - Not EP

 

[GetFocht]

Pettersson is just so good.

Any ideas on who his linemates were?

Of course Loui Eriksson got 3 points. He turns into Wayne Gretzky when he plays with Sweden..wish he had that effort here.

Anyway Atta Boy Petey and Markstrom

I think Eriksson is just one of those players that cannot handle the pressure in Vancouver and crumbles hard. It would honestly be best to trade him or buy him out so he gets a fresh start because its clearly not working in Vancouver.

Anton Lander, & Mario Kempe.

One of his goals was on the PP, the other directly after a PP was over. Both assisted by Lander, & Petey. His assist was on an empty netter(meaning he could've gotten a hat trick).

Wouldn't be surprised if he hits 100 points next year.

Excited to watch him at the World Championships. No Backstrom should mean Pettersson is the 1C.

Yes, we dont even have a 2C

Swedish coach double shifted EP to play on both powerplay lineups.

Yeah I have a feeling he’s gonna be relied upon as heavily as the Sedins were in 2013. He played almost two minutes more than any other swedish skater in the second period against Russia (the one with all the PP:s)

That's ironic... previously (in years past) he had stated that he didn't want Pettersson because he was just a "powerplay specialist". Guess Petey can change anyone's mind about how talented a player he is eh?

 

[I am toxic]

You are not allowed to do that.

Next you will suggest EP be put out to protect a lead when the other team pulls their goalie.

It's. Not. Allowed.

Any chance he loses the calder?

According to Donald S Cherry, Bennington is the guaranteed Calder winner.

 

[GetFocht]

Just an absolutely ridiculous pass:

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

According to Donald S Cherry, Bennington is the guaranteed Calder winner.

Honestly, would fully expect Binnigton to win at this point especially wit EP fading down the stretch.

 

[GetFocht]

He still manages to surprise me after watching him closely for a year.

 

[Knight53]

Backchecks like a demon, so smart and committed defensively. Non-stop motor.

Just a perfect player.

Jesus ******* christ.

 

[Star Ocean]

Meh dont care about calder anymore. Binnington can have it.

 

[Jay Cee]

He is already one of the best in the game. It's just a matter of time and he puts it all together. His Calder is just going to be his first trophy.
