RW/C Elias Pettersson (2017, 5th, VAN) Part 5

[isthatso]

Yea if he doesn’t match Barzal’s 3 five point games in his rookie yea the Canucks are probably better off moving on from him, get whatever you can

I doubt that anybody would want to take a flyer on him though.

Better to send him down and hope that he figures it out...

Gimme the autograph Austin Matthews jock strap in exchange for pettersson if he doesn’t get another 5 point game. Like those 5 point game is so easy to get.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

He knew hf would criticise him for being inconsistent if he got to many 5 pointers. He heeded the call.

Once hes finished with that he will get to work stat on brining his sh % down.

Been a while now since the last 5p game. Maby he is hurt?

 

[WeDislikeEich]

This kid is unbelievable!

I’ve watched more Vancouver games recently and have just been blown away by him.

Sky is the limit. Can’t wait to see him at his peak.

 

[CherryToke]

unsustainable anklebreaking%

 

[Siludin]

Protect him like he is one of your reproductive organs

 

[ZEBROA]

EP you dont have to hit that bar on purpose to get the shoot % down. Stop kidding around. Next game maby...

It's kinda crazy how after 26 goals (most of them being snipes) his shot isn't getting same kind of respect from opponents like Ovechkin or Laine got when they entered the league.

When you give elite goalscorers as much room as Pettersson had in that clip, they are almost guaranteed to score everytime.

his shot is alright, nothing special

 

[koyvoo]

It’s also insane considering that night in and night out he’s the #1 focal point of opponents top defensive players.

I think it's amongst the best in league when it comes to power and accuracy. Definately good enough for opponents to start giving him more coverage which I think will eventually happen.

That SH% isnt going down

it was a joke, that's what Kotkaniemi said

Its already happened. The problem is Brock Boeser who has a deadly maybe deadlier shot than EP40 is on the other side.

The only saving grace for PKs vs Canucms is that Canucks dont have a true PP QB playing the point. They get that and this is going to be a very very scary team to take a penalty against.

Hughes coming in march so excited to bare witness to that

Will be interesting to see how he handles the PP. He doesnt have a bomb of a shot so teams might sag off on him but he has elite vision and passing skills

 

[Addison Rae]

Nico Hischier would have scored 4 points tonight

I admit it's been a while since I watched Canucks so I don't know how much his coverage has increased but at least based on his latest goal there was almost zero respect for his shot when he had the puck for a few seconds before shooting it.

I don't doubt Pettersson's coverage has increased during the season but I doubt his shot still gets the same kind of respect than Ovie's or Laine's shots because they would never have same kind of time and space as Pettersson had in that clip.

Your understanding of hockey will get better as you watch more games.

It's important that you keep trying no matter how limited you are.

Kid has so much potential and just going to keep getting better.

Kid is the only reason we are still fighting for the playoffs.
