C/LW Lias Andersson (2017, 7th, NYR, traded to LAK)

[5cotland]

2+0 in his first game of this year's WJC.

He got an assist too.

3 points in 1st game and Chytil got 2 points as well.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He got an assist too.

3 points in 1st game and Chytil got 2 points as well.

He was only credited with two points.

 

[Lays]

He was only credited with two points.

he had 2 goals though and an assist, i don’t know if they counted the assist though. it was a clear assist as well so i don’t get why it didn’t count, maybe it still needs to be updated

Here it was. Thats almost always called an assist.

Pretty sure IIHF can be weird for 2nd Assists. Since it went Andersson-Pettersson-Dahlin-Pettersson they don't count it. Andersson would have had to have been the 3rd last person to touch it and make the 2nd last pass, whereas in this case he touched it 4th last and made the 3rd last pass.

Is he the new stephan or what? Seems like good player again rangers scouts is doing good things.

His upside is similar but play style is not

 

[BomaLightDevils]

His upside is similar but play style is not

How does he play then?

 

[UnSandvich]

More physical, harder shot, better in front of the net. Less passing ability

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I figured 3 points deserves a bump.

The beauty with this kind of player is you can play him anywhere and he'll do well. Can be used in all situations like Horvat on the Canucks.

 

[Orca Smash]

Reminds be a bit of horvat honestly, I always liked the pick for the rangers.

Seems like the poster above also see's those similarities.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He also got an assist on this goal. So its 5 points, 4+1 in 3 games.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

Has been the best forward so far for Sweden

 

[Lays]

He should’ve had an easy tap in today but that Swiss dman tipped the puck into his own net instead of letting Lias get that hat trick smh. Lias also had an assist the first game to that didn’t count because he passed the puck to EP who passed it to Dahlin who passed it back to EP who scored. Apparently that doesn’t count under WJC rules as an assist but oh well

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

6 goals in this tournament. He has definitely proven himself against his peers, after contributing at the pro-level in Sweden, following a slow start due to the traveling

 

[HaNotsri]

Lias is a winner. Time to prove it yet again tonight.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Good sport right here. Loses the game and throws his metal away like a 12 year old. Nice maturity.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Thats my boy. Winner through and through.

What he did at the end was the best thing I saw from him in this tournament, and he played pretty well. That drive to win should serve him very well. I want that player on my team, and he will be next season.

 

[clunk]

I low-key loved his medal throw.

 

[93LEAFS]

Thats my boy. Winner through and through.

Lets hope for your sake he's more successful (in a team sense) than the last big name New Yorker I remember throwing medals away. Although, that medal has since appeared at auctions, so who knows.

who are you referring to

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Sure he has a drive to win but he could still show some sportsmanship. Getting 2nd place in a tournament that represents the best hockey nations is by far one of the hardest feets to accomplish. To throw away a symbol of your hard work isn't right.
