Prospect Info: Elias Pettersson | Pt. IV

[Knight53]

Almost scored 30 seconds into the 3rd

 

[Canucks LB]

His hands are so good, holy moly

 

[Ryp37]

Man I love watching this kid, just so smart

the way he anticipates things is phenomenal

 

[Canucks LB]

Almost scored again

 

[Knight53]

Pettersson just wide damn

 

[Zombotron]

Left alone in front of the Mora net, damn

 

[Canucks LB]

He tries to go 1v4 and you legit still think he is gonna score, his confidence is off the charts.

 

[DDRhockey]

Pettersson is being taken away as an option by the PK.

Because the headline in sweden is that mora must stop petterason. 3 players on him.

 

[DDRhockey]

Pettersson just wide damn

Snakebitten game. I settle for 1p.

 

[Knight53]

Couple great looks by Pettersson on PP.

 

[Canucks LB]

His shot is really hard, damn

I think this is the treatment he is going to need to get used to wherever he goes now. It's quite obvious that the key to stopping the Lakers is to stop EP. Hopefully he can figure out a way to play through that somehow

 

[DDRhockey]

So with 28p he just passed forsberg right?

 

[Zombotron]

So with 28p he just passed forsberg right?

Forsberg's D+1, correct. D+2 is a whole other story, of course. EP has now tied the D+1 mark of Michael Nylander and the D+1 mark of former Canuck, Patrik Sundström

This will be a great challenge for him.
Also, it will give us a better idea of how good he can be with all the attention paid to him.
I'm excited to see how he'll do.

 

[clunk]

I'm happy with that. Got a point and was likely the very reason his team had success this game, due to Mora being so concerned about him on the PP that they left some of his teammates less covered.

 

[DDRhockey]

In other news. EP just retook the SHL scoring lead.

What's encouraging is that they weren't able to stop him. They may have limited his point totals but that's all. I didn't watch the game but it sounds like he was still involved in all the offense.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Not even a multi-point player today, trade him while he still has value.

 

[Zombotron]

Next game is Tuesday at 10 a.m. PST

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Quick question for the fan boys...do you expect Pettersson in the NHL next year?

Also If he doesn't sign over the summer and decides to remain in Sweeden would you be disappointed?

What's the feeling right now

 

[Josepho]

I have a tough time seeing him anywhere but the NHL next year.

Maybe the first 5-10 games in Utica adjusting to NA Ice and that should be it.

 

[Samzilla]

1 point?!? f***ing bust

If nico can play in nhl d+1 EP can play d+2
