Pettersson First NHL Goal

[thomaspalmer]

Incredible.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Hell of a shot. Looks like he's gonna be a fun one to watch. Canucks have some really nice pieces.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Great shot.

 

[Semantics]

This guy's vision is absurd, he's like a 6'2" version of Marner with an elite shot. I could see him leading the league in assists at some point.

 

[Ainec]

it's only 1 period but I think Pettersson has the calder locked up (barring fortnite)

said the same thing with Barzal in game ~25 and people called me crazy

He's actually 6'3 now. Kid is still filling out.

Stylistically he skates and moves like Joe Thornton obviously way more agile and quicker. Though Datsyuk is a way better comparable.

Gorgeous goal. He’s going to be really fun to watch. Canucks have the beginnings of something good with he and Boeser

 

[Ol' Jase]

Kid is just crazy talented. Great, great goal.

 

[CodeE]

Walk with Elias is my Calder pick baby.

 

[McNurse]

What a beautiful f***ing goal, this kid is going to be such a beauty

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

His defensive awareness and IQ is being overlooked because of his eliteness on offence.

Horvat is on record comparing EP stylistically w. Pavel Datsyuk.

 

[NYR94]

Didn't take long. This kid is exciting.

 

[DekeyPete]

 

[Royal Thunder]

When it comes to the Calder, it's gonna be this kid and then everyone else. He's gonna be a superstar

 

[GoJetsGo55]

B-E-A-uty

surprised someone else thinks this

datsyuk was my comparison but I thought it's a horribly lazy one (small framed, skilled euro player)

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Came in here all ready to be the jerk who says "eh, it wasnt that nice"....but damn, it was too nice for me to even say it. What a lazer.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

This might be controversial around here but I think this kid has a serious shot at the Calder.

He is a top 5 prospect, on some lists he top 3 in the league...why would that be a controversial statement?

 

[pomx]

Pettersson is our savior.

 

[AD1066]

Happy for Vancouver fans. Going to be a fun one to watch for years.

(And a random observation, the way he holds the stick up high reminds me of Hossa. Wondering if anyone else sees it.)

 

[Kcb12345]

What a snipe. Bet he wins the Calder

I think your sarcasm detector is broken bro

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Smith still doesn't know where the puck is.

 

[PiggySmalls]

Nice snip. Vancouver selected one hell of a player.

 

[lawrence]

puck bounced off the netting so hard it looked like it bounced off a post.
