You’ve heard of Sedin to Sedin

Now get ready for Pettersson to Pettersson to Pettersson.

I’m quite excited to watch how Marcus Pettersson fits into this team

Canucks Line-Up:

TBD

TBD my new mantra for the rest of the season, and my new answer to any question.

 

[ManVanFan]

I mentioned this morning remembering Garland playing with O'Connor at WC. Allvin copying me.

AFP has M. Pettersson at 5 years 5.85. I'd get that done right away.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

So I’m guessing…

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Chytil - Garland
Hoglander - Blueger - Sherwood?
O’Connor - Suter - Karlsson

Hughes - Myers
Hronek - Pettersson
Soucy - Forbort

O’Connor - Suter - Karlsson

Hughes - Myers

I'd flip a couple of things around but otherwise, looks right.

DeBrusk-Pettersson-Boeser
Joshua-Chytil-Garland
Hoglander-Blueger-Sherwood
O'Connor-Suter-Karlsson

Hughes-Myers
Pettersson-Hronek
Forbort-Soucy

DeBrusk-Pettersson-Boeser
Joshua-Chytil;-Garland
Hoglander-Blueger-Sherwood
O'Connor-Suter-Karlsson

Hughes-Myers
Pettersson-Hronek
Forbort-Soucy

You don't think they will try Garland and O'Connor on the same line? After the mention of them playing together.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

You don't think they will try Garland and O'Connor on the same line? After the mention of them playing together.

I’d suspect Garland getting Joshua going is higher on the priority list, but who knows.

 

[Lindgren]

DeBrusk-Pettersson-Boeser
Joshua-Chytil;-Garland
Hoglander-Blueger-Sherwood
O'Connor-Suter-Karlsson

Hughes-Myers
Pettersson-Hronek
Forbort-Soucy

If that's a guess, rather than a preference, I'd predict somebody else in that bottom-pairing right-side slot. Has Tocchet played Soucy there much?

Man, I hope that Pettersson (the new Pettersson) has instant chemistry with whomever he's paired. It'd lighten my mood.

Fully possible. O'Connor might be the biggest wild card on the roster in terms of where he will play.

The new Petterson, or the new new Petterson?

Best guess would be as perfectly as it appears to be.

From that highlight video previously posted, I think he will have a transformative effect on the dressing room, especially the swedes.


Underrated aspects of his acquisition include his affect on the other young dmans development, and mgmt brought in both new players after miller was gone, no overlap to see the bad dressing room vibes and they can come in like its all good, because it is as far as they're concerned.

 

[ManVanFan]

I’d suspect Garland getting Joshua going is higher on the priority list, but who knows.

He needs some confidence for sure.

 

[Lindgren]

The new Petterson, or the new new Petterson?

NN Pettersson.

 

[ManVanFan]

Debrusk-Petey-Boeser 6 gf 8 ga
Petey is better without either 9-4. Debrusk and Boeser are 10-4 together. I think I would try them between Chytil.

Sherwood and Pettersson are 7-3 together. Hoggy is 5-2 with Petey. The trio have only played 4 minutes together.

Debrusk Petey Sherwood are 6-3 together.

Garland and Joshua are 5-8

Hot damn, who the hell knows. Nothing has worked for any forward group this season. Nothing sustained. Only 1 line over 150 minutes together that's Heinen-Blueger-Sherwood. 86 other NHL lines are over 150 minutes

 

[racerjoe]

So I’m guessing…

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Chytil - Garland
Hoglander - Blueger - Sherwood?
O’Connor - Suter - Karlsson

Hughes - Myers
Hronek - Pettersson
Soucy - Forbort

I am actually impressed with the depth there now. It looks better. Although we do miss a few game breakers.

 

[ExarKun80]

So I’m guessing…

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Chytil - Garland
Hoglander - Blueger - Sherwood?
O’Connor - Suter - Karlsson

Hughes - Myers
Hronek - Pettersson
Soucy - Forbort

That top 6 looks terrible but at least the the defence looks decent.
Anyone talking about depth is just high on hopium. You can talk about depth when you have real talent filling the first 3 lines. Having a team 80% filled with 3rd and 4th liners does not equal depth.
