Elias Pettersson.. Playoff Ghost

[oceanchild]

If Petersson performs like this under pressure, he would probably cry in Toronto

Because he found his best fit? Teams and forwards not showing up under pressure… isn’t the the definition of the leafs ?

Hard cap management lessons being learned by Toronto and Vancouver.

Like the Oilers, they should have waited to see how these guys performed in the playoffs before backing up the Brinks truck. Remember when everyone thought Drai was overpaid? He wasn’t, cause the Oilers gave him that contract after KNOWING Drai was a playoff beast.

This ain’t the case for pretenders like EP or Marner. Paid to the moon before pissing a drop in the playoffs.

Not sure you should be pumping Edmonton's cap management when we have Nurse and Campbell for 14.5 million.

 

[Riggins]

Better show up in game 7, Elias. Otherwise JT Miller will rip you off that scooter and pile drive you off the Burrard bridge.

For star forwards it’s an apt comparison.

This is true.

Is that actually him? Vancouver is done

Yep.

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Oilers call him friendly ghost I'm guess.

 

[Oak]

He’s actually not that soft

Every hit I've seen him give this season on social media is blatant charging. Guess he doesn't mind playing physical when he's going 20 mph.

 

[Rowlet]

That was right before g5

 

[HockeyVirus]

This is going to be a what if year. If Pettersson was even close to expectations the Canucks are in the SCF

This has to be considered public exhibitionism, is it not? What a weirdo.

 

[theMajor]

he had a good hit earlier tonight right before he got wacked

 

[KaseMeOutside]

93 million for 3rd line playoff performance
He had to be hurt pretty bad otherwise unacceptable

 

[saffronleaf]

wow he sucks

 

[DearDiary]

Didn't show up except for 2 hits that clearly looked like charging to me.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

11.6 million going forward for that performance is going to be a major problem.

 

[Maple Leaf]

wow he sucks

Reminds me of someone

 

[saffronleaf]

93 million for 3rd line playoff performance

not even a third line performance; he doesn't bring what a typical third liner does

 

[Turin]

Hope he was injured because he looked like an absolute plug.

Reminded me of watching Crosby in 2014 (broken wrist) and Malkin in 2008 after the Mike Richards hit (I think shoulder or ribs).

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

He had to be hurt, he looked like a shell of himself

 

[Iggys Dome]

If it comes out he was healthy I'll be shocked.

He was quite literally invisible out there. He didn't look like the guy who I've seen take over games in the past.

JT Miller stepped up for the Canucks though, he earned my respect.

 

[Boxscore]

Tonight they said he hasn't scored a goal in 2 months. Did I hear that correctly? If so, they better disclose he was playing with a damn broken back, or he's got some explaining to do.

You heard that wrong. He scored game 2. He's only scored a handful of goals in the last two months, though.

He scored in game 3 of the oilers series.
