Feel like if goalies figure out he goes shelf on the glove side he might be stopped a lot. Did the same thing to Rittich the other night though, but it's not like an Ovi one timer.
He adjusts his shots on what he sees. Like what you just said, Quick literally did in the shootout - covers top shelf glove side and Petey tucks in under his glove.

There was a game earlier this season where he's hammering the puck on the net on the powerplay, first shot he picks glove side top shelf, can't remember if it hits post or just rebounds off the goalie, then the puck rings around to him again and he picks blocker side top shelf and scores.

It's amazing watching him hammer top bar and in game after game and both his wrister and slapper are lasers.

And maybe the nuttiest thing about him is that he's a better playmaker than shooter, just incredible vision and passing. This aspect has been utterly wasted on this version of the Canucks though.

Anyone read lips? This should be easy but I'm struggling

Think he says fu**in pass it.. seemed like he was pissed at the D as they had a couple chances to clear but couldn’t. Frustration starting to creep in, can’t blame him, team sucks besides EP Boeser & Horvat.

He's mad at himself for making a bad pass that resulted in a goal against and he's probably cursing something in Swedish.

His shooting percentage has dropped by 4 this past week yet he just keeps producing and producing. Sorry doubters, he's the real deal and he'll keep going. :thumbu:

1.)Sure, but even prime Ovy was a volume shooter 2.) that just rips it

3.) This is why Ovy has always been poor in the shootouts while being the best goal scorer of all time

1.) Yes
2.) No, if he were just whaling away he wouldn't be so reliable, and he'd probably hit crest/pad more often. He's still picking corners, and not generally missing by miles either.
3.) No, his shootout percentage is poor because he stickhandles more, and his bag of breakaway tricks isn't all that great. He's got a few different tools for getting around defensemen but only one or two shootout "moves" that open up his shot 1 on 1. Also, his stickhandling looks choppier when his feet aren't moving, Generally he gets more successful when he cuts out some of the "deception", walks into the slot from an angle and tries to pick an opening.

Enough about his shooting percentage
He doesnt even have the highest shooting percentage on the vancouver canucks.
Brendan Gaunce is sporting a very elite 50% :sarcasm:

also how has Brayden Point escaped from the Shooting Percentage criticisms??
He is rocking a 24%
Point isn't getting 1/100 the talk Pettersson is.

It looks more like ”F*in passion”. Like someone, or even himself, didn’t try hard enough...
