Around the League 47 Vancouver Collects All the Petterssons

[Joe McGrath]

Yeah, what I immediately noticed was I had forgotten how fast he was in his younger years. The kid was flying for many of those early goals.

Also #12 is the first of many one-timer goals from his office. Followed by #19, 25, 35, 50 (maybe, hard to tell), 52, 57, 65, 71, 78, and 97 (another maybe). And that's only in the first 100

I think ALOT of people forgot what he was in his 20s. The best way I can describe it was a right handed Pavel Bure - if he was also huge and played physical. So like pretty much nothing we’d ever seen before.

I wonder if that’s why I have always hand a muffin of a shot but I can go bar down from in tight very easily.

That would make sense. On a practical basis, the accuracy is more useful than the power.

My boys are both right hand dominant but one shoots left and one shoots right. Gave them a straight stick at learn to play and they figured out what they preferred from there so I really have no idea.

Mine are the same way.

Flat blades should be mandatory for entry-level youth leagues.

Well, as bad the Canes were tonight, at least they didn't blow a 5-2 lead with 1:00 to go in the game.

Vancouver won 6-5 in OT after trailing 3-0 and then 5-2 with 1 minute left.

Watched the end. Crazy last 5 minutes as first Dallas scores twice (1 an empty net), then Vancouver scores 5v5 at 19:00 and then score two more with goalie pulled. MR gets a penalty in OT and Canucks score just after he gets out of the box 4v4

Tough break for this prospect:

Jets C Lucius, 21, retires with tissue disorder

Chaz Lucius, a 21-year-old center and former first-round pick for the Winnipeg Jets who played this season for the Manitoba Moose of the AHL, announced his retirement on Tuesday due to a hereditary tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Damn. Poor kid.

i'm assuming his brother / former cane current pens prospect cruz has been checked and is clear. So random.

Too bad that was in Dallas and not Vancouver. Would’ve loved to see a home crowd reaction to that series of events.

Glad Rantanen had a front row seat for this.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Since the next few Canes games are on national TV, I'm working Dallas on Thursday, Saturday and next Monday.

I'm not sure how much they're going to want to revisit that game.

From Friedman's 32 thoughts today: "New Jersey’s Sheldon Keefe said there’s a chance Dougie Hamilton could return for round one,"

The NHL starting next year needs to have less ESPN/TNT games involving the Flyers. Unless Michkov develops into a legit star, there is zero reason to watch a Flyers game. Even Flyers fans will agree.

Also Pens, Hawks, and Red Wings, especially games involving two of these four teams.

Yeah once Crosby and Malkin are gone there's zero reason to watch the Penguins as well. Hell even now there's little reason.

Hawks will continue to be shown because of Bedard.

Michkov has looked pretty great in the games I’ve watched. Plus, Konecny is one of my favorite non-Canes right now.

 

[HisIceness]

Well props to the Flyers I guess. Decided to watch Lukas return to Dallas instead

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Catch the highlights of the Sharks/Wild game if you can.

Ericsson Ek and Kaprisov both return after long injuries. Ek has 4 goals in his return, Kaprisov with the OT winner. Celebrini also had a hattrick.

The only downside is that it was likely Fleury’s last home game and an 8-7 OT game is probably not how he’d want to end it.

The league will gift them the lottery for McKenna. Just wait

I dunno, an 8-7 overtime win is certainly more memorable than a 3-0 shutout or something similar.

The Sharks got 9 points in that game from players whose combined ages are younger than Fleury's age.

You can’t make this shit up lol

How many cable guys do they have in Quebec anyway?

Ahh well, ok then maybe it really is all Nate

Lightnings top prospect by a wide margin is at an impasse with the club. Potential Cutter Gauthier situation coming this offseason?
