Elias Pettersson Milestone Thread

[Alex K]

Too bad Sedins are gone

 

[Royal Thunder]

He has legit best player in the league potential

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

That’d be awesome, then he’d be even faster without that horseshoe weighing him down.

Touche sir

 

[LemonSauceD]

us nucks fans will single handedly use EP40 threads to push back all leafs threads.
Replace one evil with another

Nah but tbh out of all threads this thread is probably the most main board worthy

i dont get the hate for petterson but at the same time he gets overrated, bit of an enigma.

i like to see success over more then a year so when barzal was blasting of last year i said hes good and you can see the talent but his numbers will dip a bit next year...

petterson is a amazing you can see the talent, i think his numbers will dip a bit next year too.

i think both players will eventually get back up there again, but players can get a bit lucky sometimes.
sounds like a hate post i know, anyways gratz petey and nucks fan, hes a keeper.

Settle down there bud

 

[koyvoo]

A near 30% shooting percentage will do that

The horseshoe will fall out of his ass eventually

Good for him though, his home planet of Mars will be happy

How about not looking at his stats at all and observing how he can, at 20 years old do and see things on the ice that only the very, very elite players in this league can do and see.

He gets hate because he is severely over rated on here. Claiming after a half season that he is going to be the best player in the league etc. will rub people the wrong way. There is no problem in being excited in having a great young talent but these claims of him becoming the best player are not realistic at all.

 

[izzy]

weird that we have such an incredible young talent in the league who also plays on a canadian team yet we hear practically nothing about him

 

[Addison Rae]

Meh, he’s no Nico Hischier that’s for sure

 

[Ainec]

He hasn't even played a nhl game, how do you rank him over Patrick?

 

[Ainec]

Weighs how much beginners squat after 1 month in the gym and fires puck as hard as Ovie

3 Pettersson threads on the main page is cool. Vancouver fans making it very hard to cheer for this guy IMO (I know it’s not all of you). How bout we chill out. Let his play do the talking.

no horseshoes puts himself in great scoring position the league right now has the most high end players I have seen in 52 years watching this game just remarkable top end talent. 30% or not he is so skilled he will be in top 10 scoring for next decade

Yea same. Great player, hope his more down to earth person than his fans.

 

[Koivu11]

He’s pretty good at ice hockey.

 

[Revelation]

The fact that he'll never win a Stanley Cup is oddly comforting

To give you some perspective Ovechkin, who is arguably the best goal scorer of all time, has a career average shooting percentage of 12.6% with last season being his highest at 17.7%. There is absolutely no way Pettersson will maintain his shooting % so it is pretty reasonable to assume that his production will come down.

ovechkin is a horrible comparison

He is the poster child for volume shooter and has lead the league in that department by large margins

You know what I do when Leaf threads over run the main boards? I don't click on them. Problem solved. I don't hate on the team, player or the fans because of it.

If we let every players on ice performance do the talking then a discussion board becomes kinda pointless. No?

Leaf fan up at 2am, can't sleep because of the Vancouver Canucks

Or he'll start to shoot more/get better team mates.

i never said that did i his goal production might come down but his playmaking will improve I highly doubt watching him his best year will be his rookie

It is not a horrible comparison. The whole point of my post was to show even the greatest goal scorer of all time has an average shooting percentage of 12.6%. You cannot disregard that Pettersson is benefiting from an abnormally high shooting percentage and statistics and history show us that his will drop by a significant margin. There is not a single player who can maintain an average shooting percentage of 30% or more over multiple full seasons. You might get 1 season but it will normalize the next.

Using Ovie is horrible

There are other players to use like Kucherov Point or Matthews

Ovie is the best volume shooter in league history
