remember when Daniel was called clutch? I said the Canucks needed automatic.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

But now Bo is the engine that drives this machine. I think we've got some good replacement parts coming in soon, but I'm not sure what will be on backorder until 2019.

This year's Volvos look interesting and could join the fleet as early as September, but I know some people want to put the brakes on that plan as they don't feel their reliability will last through the long North American seasons.

And the mechanic is either a genius or an idiot, so who's to know what will happen over the summer. Maybe he'll just buy some old worn parts and leave the shiny new parts on the shelf a little longer.

Växjö wins game two (this time on the road) 4-0!

Elias Pettersson assisted on Rahimi's 1-0 and then scored a beauty himself for 2-0.
But the real hero was Elias's line mate Robert Rosén who was registered for two goals and two assists.
In a four goal game...

Yeah, basically the same people were on the ice for all four goals.

I'd say Elias is having a pretty good playoffs.

I think Elias is now also the playoffs points leader, but I have to double check Robert Rosén didn't pass him.
Elias's goal was the real highlights reel goal though. Gotta love this kid! 8-)

Double checked. Robert is no where near him (except on the ice...). Elias is the leader.

Thank Corn, good to see something worth reading.

But with any new model you really dont know what you have until they been out for 2 - 3 years and you see what the strengths are, what weaknesses appear and if there will be any recalls. I just hope we do not have buyers remorse.

Wow, sounds like no one is anywhere near him in points-per-game. :D

Oops! Sorry! When I cut and pasted the stats, Robert's numbers didn't come along, so I wrote them in by heart, assuming he had played as many games as Elias, but it turns out he missed a couple of games, so he has actually scored his ten points in just eight games, which means a 1.25 PPG rate, which is not quite as good as Elias's 14/11 = 1.27 PPG rate, but pretty close.

I scrolled down to check there was no early elimination with say 6 points in 4 games; there weren't. The closest were a couple of players with 7 in 7, but that's not even close.

I predict Elias's will win the playoffs scoring title as well, along with the regular season one he already won.
The main challenger is basically his line mate Robert Rosén.

Thanks Per, I notice this Rosen fellow played his first professional game when Pettersson was just 4 years old! :wow:

You know who that is Tops - the little compact model trying to keep up on the back end.

His face was exactly like mine, except upside down.
I know the defense was crap, but holy shit!

Keeping with the theme, we are obviously getting one of them newfangled self-driving electric vehicles next year.
