Player Discussion Elias Pettersson, Pt. XII

[Green Blank Stare]

He's been deferring too much lately. He needs to be more aggressive in looking for his own shot.

 

[John Johnson]

Anyone know why Petey hasn't been using his one-timer barely at all this season? He had probably 10 or more of his goals scored that way last season but this year its basically gone.

Theres a guy sitting in his lane all the time. He is the type of player that will want to make the "right" play and not try to force it. I'm of the opinion that if you have that hard a shot, if they want to block it let them try. At least when we arent creating anything else.

Yes, hence more slap passes

Personal rant: Like, how does Ovi get so effin' open seemingly all the time???

"Well, there's that 700 goal scorer who one-times it on the powerplay, what should we do?"

"Let's leave him wide open and see what happens."

Like seriously Eastern Conference, are you brain dead? Stick a man on him and play the rest like a 4 on 3 you idiots.

it's the same with boeser this year. teams figured out our powerplay and we haven't figured out a way to counter them taking away our shooters' lanes by finding new openings

to some degree i think petey's also adjusting to everything not running through him as qh has gotten better and better

Teams haven’t really figured out our power play. It’s just not finishing through Pettersson as often as teams are cutting out that option and leaving others open. Hughes , Miller and Horvat in the bumper spot have been big beneficiaries.
So we have been finding new openings, and our power play has carried us all year.

It's funny seeing people saying that EP is useless in the second half when he's still PPG. I don't think we should expect him to be McDrai, especially when the Canucks have the pieces to run a more balanced offense than the Oilers can.

I think EP is a bit too static at times on PP. When he stands still waiting to one time the puck opponent just need to stand in lane.

Sunday was his best game in a while

Sucks that better and ruined it completely

 

[Siludin]

Put Tyler Motte on the first line with Pettersson and Miller.
I don't know why, but something tells me this would work. It's a premonition from the heavens.

I was thinking Eriksson hasnt really had a fare shot at top line duties with Miller and Pettersson. Could work, hes gonna be in the lineup, hes gonna be a top 6er under Green, might as well go top line

I could see that happen if Desjardins was still the head coach.

It's really not. Compared to EP, BB's been wide open on the PP. Why? Teams have scouted him and recognize that his shot is no longer the laser it once was.

As for EP, I see him making little adjustments game to game and it's starting to pay off. My only gripe with him is his insistence to chip it in and battle along the boards. Appreciate the sentiment, but at weight and stage of physical development, he's terribad at it. So much so that Miller actually avoids passing it to him to maintain the cycle.

How does Petey’s Adavande stats match up to the other elite centres of the league?

How does Petey’s Adavande stats match up to the other elite centres of the league?

Among "Goals above replacement", and "Wins above replacement"

He is the top centerman in the NHL in department.
Marchand and Panarin are around him, but again both are wingers.

next closest centerman is Brayden Point then Eichel.

GAR takes into account even-strength possession and production, power play production, shorthanded situations, as well as penalties drawn and taken.
His even strength possession relative to his team is very very very good. Like 2011 Sedin good

Damn that's insane. I'd like this if I wasn't limited right now.

Yeah thats kind of the Hart Trophy debate right now.
Draisaitl is putting up ridiculous stats, but he gives A LOT back so that's where he would be dinged analytically. Plus his December was bad, Which is an understatement.

Im not saying Pettersson is in the Hart Trophy debate at all, this just more outlines what he does for his team from a quantitative standpoint.

Like I told ya before king, post WITHIN the rules and ya dont lose that ability to LIKE posts

Yeah I would have too but CANT for the same reason. Petterson is an EXCELLENT back checker, very under rated in this regard

It’s stuff like this (and EP’s other underlying metrics) that make me think his ceiling can be a Datsyuk type player. His corsi numbers, shot suppression numbers, scoring chances for/against, are all insanely good.

 

[Rey]

Forget the standings, the real thing to look at is the 2017 nhl draft scoring race !

four more points for petey and he’ll tie nico
