Player Discussion Elias Pettersson, Pt. VIII: Is actually an eight-brained octopoid monster from Planet Ånge

[Melvin]

amusing. From Burnaby isn't he?

Who?

EP's shootout attempt at full speed looks like a poor attempt. But once you watch the super slow-mo reply, if his stick is just slightly lower (like 1 cm) he scores. Howard was not going to save that attempt if the puck moves back across the crease. I guess close plays happen all the time and look even more amplified in slow-mo, but the attempt is not nearly as bad as the outcome made it seem.

Ok imma have to watch some sens games to see all this hype about mark stone if he is such a good two way player.

I think that Jake gardiner could be a solid signing for the cap hit he should get to add a puck mover that isn’t at the MDZ defensive level. If we are bringing in both OJ and Hughes next year we need to focus on signing defensemen to shelter them or at least defensemen that have shown they can play a regular nhl shift

Anyone else than me noticed the avatar next to the name Leonard Washington in this article: Pettersson: 10 goals in 10 games

Strange world.

Well it is Leonard Washington. Where is he from you ask? A little town called None Of Your Goddamn Business.

Shootouts are garbage and EP knows it. I wish 3 on 3 was continuous. He's been scary 3 on 3, so superior to everyone else.

You can make an argument that 3-on-3 is garbage as well. It's basically pond hockey. Entertaining as hell, yes, but it's as meaningless as a shootout.

It is complete junk.

 

[pettersson]

It is complete junk.

Going straight to shootout like the good ol' days is even worse.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Fortunately Chabot isn't Calder eligible. What he's doing as a sophomore defenceman is arguably as impressive as Pettersson's campaign so far.

In the good ole days, the game was just a tie and people treated it appropriately.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

seeing as you left out eriksson,

A team with gudbranson and eriksson, the additions you mentioned, and the costs to re-sign the players you included... we would be over 90m in cap lol.

Projection is 81-85.

Maybe if you can dump Eriksson/Gudbranson and one of Schaller, Roussell, and Beagle, it is even remotely possible.

Not to mention, all those contracts will be albatross after the 5th year.

And that's not including the cap hit for Luongo retiring or Pettersson's bonuses.

I would rather some team come on top, makes an actual game interesting and the game outside of the game interesting (playoffs chances)

Jake Gardiner needs to be shelter, they guy is a one zone player

I know that was the case when he first came into the league but the last couple years he’s over 50% dozen starts.

2 years ago he put up 43 points and 52 points last year. He’s easily a lot into our top 3 if not top 2 depending on who resigns

It's obviously a stupid and ignorant call, but personally, I think the person most worthy of ridicule in this video is the reactor. I despise when people feel the need to play up their performance like that when trying to react insultingly. It's like posters who like to respond with ".... BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA" when they think a post is dumb. Nobody would laugh that hard at something moronic. The petty desperation is super cringe-y/uncomfortable and always just comes across as borderline insane to me.

They way EP is conducting himself in the locker room and with the media, i see captain material. Is it just me? A rookie behaving like this? not shy, his English is pretty good, taking responsibility, isn't happy for his own record-breaking if the team doesn't win etc etc.

And then it makes one wonder how good Pettersson can be in his sophomore season.

Everytime someone brings this up, they get attacked with a bunch of "BUT BO....". To be honest, I see it too. I also think bo is another great candidate. But this is Petey's first year in the NHL and he's already displaying leadership on and off the ice, imagine next season.. or 5 seasons from now. Interesting conversation going forward.

If Petey was drafted the same year as Bo, would people still be set on Bo?

 

[xtra]

BEfore making him captain we should see how he reacts when things aren’t going so well.

I’m not saying he will react badly just that you want a leader that will pull you up even when things are going wrong for themselves and the team.

Canucks have had 2 Swedish Captains for a total of 15 seasons in Naslund and Henrik Sedin. I doubt that's a factor.

I still think Bo is the captain for two reasons
1. He’s been with us longer and have been through shit a lot

2 There’s always a little nationality factor in the media groups, unfortunately
