Petey in the hardest shot competition. The only forward against a bunch of dmen.

Has a forward ever won it before?

Nice reference - Phil Esposito had this on bumper stickers in Boston IIRC.

He did. And people would say it about Gretzky as well.

Ovechkin.

Stoked for that, wish he had been in it last year but ended up being really impressed with his skating numbers

 

[I am toxic]

Pettersson? Shooting on an empty net??

Is that allowed???

It sounds like he's either motivating himself or being Swedish

Elias Pettersson: "I'm never satisfied"

He tops Vancouver's internal scoring of 51 points, 21 goals and 30 assists, after 49 games played and says he is reasonably satisfied with the team's efforts so far.
- The mark has been fantastic and I think the whole team has been quite stable with the exception of a few dips. I myself am not really happy, I never am. I know better, says Elias.
The Canucks teammates tell Sportsnet that they are not surprised by Pettersson's commitment to the Danielian brothers.
- He has a big heart and cares like the people around him. It's not just about hockey for Elias, he understands the big perspective, says chain mate Brock Boeser.

Pettersson? Shooting on an empty net??

Travis Green was sitting at home foaming at the mouth seeing Pettersson on the ice with an empty net. He had Eriksson on speed dial ready to send him to STL to show everyone how it’s done.

Why not try EP at the point on the PP more? He's good defensively so he can handle that part, and he can distribute from there as well.

 

[ForeverDrought]

What a shot Petey! Guy has a howitzer.

Because Quinn Hughes.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Because Quinn Hughes.

I think considering how well Hughes skates and Pettersson shoots there should be more movement on the power play.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I think considering how well Hughes skates and Pettersson shoots there should be more movement on the power play.

I've been saying it since the start of the season, they are way too static out there just standing in one position, with the occasional swap of Hughes/Miller/Boeser. You watch the top PPs in the league and literally all 5 skaters are rotating positions simultaneously. I've only seen the Canucks do that in 3-on-3 overtime. I like Newell Brown's PP composition and the roles he assigns to players, but he isn't very creative when it comes to positioning.

 

[Jimnastic]

I have been futilely screaming at my computer for much of the last month while watching the 1st line powerplay. Other teams have learned to collapse on our first line and we just move the puck around the outside. They have got to add some new set moves to the powerplay. They have three snipers on the first line. I guess it will come along eventually.

The bible obviously. You can find confirmation to any belief you have in there.

And lack of any belief

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Petterson is a cheat code. I'd say his skill level is not too far off from Bure, the kid is just ridiculous.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him being the greatest Canuck of all time one day, he's that good.

 

[VanJack]

How can a kid who probably still doesn't tip the scales at 170 shoot a puck that hard?.....just absolutely explodes off of his stick at 102 mph.

Have to agree with the previous poster.....Canucks have never had a forward with his combination of skill, skating, on-ice vision and above all else a lethal wrister and one-timer.

I mean Bure, the Sedins and maybe Mogilny had sublime individual skills, but just didn't have the all-round complete package of skills that Pettersson possesses. So yes, he has a good shot at being the best Canuck forward, ever.
