Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

The same so-called analysts, journalists and bloggers who bashed GMJB for picking Pettersson ahead of Glass or others, now change their tones when Pettersson set a new U20 record in the SHL. They are just plain disgusting. I have not even heard one word about what a great job GMJB has done. Yes, GMJ...

Certainly not. But if you're going to ice a small player, you had better have a plan in place to protect him. Instead of spending $6M on Kane, could instead spend a few bucks on Patty Maroon? kI8k6TwME_M Then have a 3rd line of Maroon - Pettersson - Eriksson (if can't get rid of LE, might as well u...

Cupboard is stocked for up-and-coming Canucks Well sheeeeeeit. :drink: Jets, Laffs and habs don’t have anyone in the top 50. Canucks have 5. Everybody get your sunglasses on.... I am surprised Lind could not even crack the top 50. If not for all the bad injuries, Lockwood could have made it as well.

Yup. Bang on. I was rooting for him and still could be proven wrong (i would welcome tgat) but Boucher's opportunity to make and stay in the show was this year. He blew it at training camp/preseason and now he is destined to be a career ahl'er. Unfortunately, I think Goldy is another one. Well, u n...

True. Hopefully, Juolevi is ready by then...

I could see Dahlin or Boqvist playing that role nicely.

I don't think anyone would complain about that.

Petter SSO n with 2 goals last night! LOL! Is there no stopping this kid! In a men's league! And the footage to prove it: http://www.shl.se/play/video/Vaxjo_Lakers_Djurgarden_Hockey-21188715?autoplay=1 Can you imagine having both Boeser and Pettersson on the power play, Boeser on the left and Pette...

It's a known known and not a known unknown that power forwards take longer to develop. Cal Neely, Milan Lucic, Brendan Shanahan and Eric Lindros and a bunch of other guys say hi. Power forwards don’t take any longer to develop than anyone else. Nothing more than a myth. Im not sure if Virtanen is a...

- Brock and Bo - superstars already - Virtanen - a bull with speed, tracking well. A slow developing Power forward, typical pace - Pettersen - down right nasty elite level skill - Gaudette - big motor, big chip, big compete - Lockwood - little bull with speed - Dahlen - deadly around the net - Gaun...

Jake has the size and grit that Mason will never have.

Nedved for Janney which turned out to be Jeff Brown, Bret Hedican, and Nathan "ding the goal post" Lafayette.

Mogilny for Morrison and Pederson. Morrison turned out to be the defensive centre for the WCE line.

Someone posted an Elias Pettersson highlight reel for September/October: _7NJE-cudeg So, yeah, we've seen most of those before, but damn, he has some smooth hands! :D Some of those goals make me think of the Harlem Globetrotters..... Besides accurate one-timers, Pettersson can really stickhandle an...

Taychook gets one game for his nonsense in starting the brawl the other night. Glad the league nailed him but it should have been more. He interfered with a player not on the ice, coaches have received more! His daddy has lots of good old friends working at the NHL Department of Player Safety. Unfo...

Salo has some interesting comments on Juolevi. Rick Dhaliwal‏ @DhaliwalSports Talked with Sami Salo about Olli Juolevi's development in Finland. Juolevi has 8 points in 10 games for TPS Turku. #Canucks Salo on Juolevi : "Olli has a lot of puck skills and see's the ice well but still needs to improve...
