WC 2018
Canada loses to USA, 5-4 in a SO. We will be challenged this year to medal even with McJesus on our team. Bo may have to be the saviour but playing on the 4th line will be one hell of a resurrection.
Up next, Pettersson centring the top line.

The only HW the Canucks need

Re: WC 2018
Pretty sure I read somewhere that Backlund will be centering, but good for Eli.
Re: WC 2018
Yes, looks like Elias is on the right side. Playing with Backlund and Nyqvist is a great opportunity for him.
Nyqvist's comment on Elias:
@PatrikPetrin
Elias Pettersson will be on Sweden's top line at the World Championships that starts tomorrow morning,he will be on a line with Mikael Backlund and Gustav Nyqvist!Nyqvist said in an interview today to just give the puck to Pettersson and he will make things happen.

Re: WC 2018
Had to bold it for the naysayers saying they want Pettersson buried in the farm?? hell naw bro - Canucks from the beginning....and man these young guns need a QB to feed them the puck next season.Aaronp18 wrote: ↑Fri May 04, 2018 12:34 pm Yes, looks like Elias is on the right side.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Re: WC 2018
Not the first time, won't be the last!
Can't wait to see Elias in a Canucks jersey next season. Honestly, the youthful injection could be a great thing for a couple of our vets - thinking Eriksson in particular.
Re: WC 2018
Another wee tidbit mentioned to me by the great BoS, Elias took on Mika Zibanejad in a hardest shot competition the other day at practice. Elias lost but hit 157 km/h (97.5 mph)
Imagine when he puts another 15-20 lbs behind that!

Ah shucks
Re: WC 2018
Anders Nilsson is ripping it up in the worlds, he also had a good run in the 2015 KHL playoffs with a 1.54gaa, 0.935% in 20 KHL playoff games, maybe he's just a playoff type goalie and meh in the regular season.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
Re: WC 2018
Unfortunately, the Canucks will have a hard time making the playoffs if Nilsson does not play well enough in the regular season...

Keep on ripping it up Anders. Hopefully some NHL teams are taking notice of his performance.

Re: WC 2018
The Jets have depth everywhere. A well rounded team
Would love to see The Jets and Capitals in the finals. Just for something different
Seriously No to Vegas. Tampa been there done that. Same goes for Nashville
