Big test for Elias at 5pm against the Russians.

[Blob Mckenzie]

The Canucks neeeeeeed elite skillset in the system for when the Sedins bust loose. Elias is that guy. I could care less if he isn't Ryan Clowe along the boards, we have others for that but the mere fact that he's dominating and was leading the Swedish men's league in scoring tells you he's no wuss

Wasn’t what I was saying. I said he needs to go to the high traffic areas more often ,for eg the front of the net and take the puck hard to to the net. That said that goal was him cutting hard to the net so that is very encouraging. I didn’t say dick all about crashing around the boards

[RoyalDude]

Do you wish Elias was more of a pugilist?

No but I feel like a pugilist . And you must feel like Dana Murzyn after Shane Corson hammered him

Bubbles keep working on those curls for gurls.

I've been slayin the wife's latest batch of limoncello. Finally cracked into it tonight. Just gunnin' it big time, I should be Otis from the Andy Griffith Show in about an hour

[RoyalDude]

Dahlin is insane. We need to win the lottery this year

[Blob Mckenzie]

That move was filthy and fuck are we overdue for some good luck. That kid is the real deal.

I’m on the Caesars, will chase down with some Andina craft beers, bottle of white with dinner. Nice rib roast doing it on the cue, baked potatoes, asparagus and a green salad. Later on some seafood appies and roll on down to a friends place .... nothing crazy Pacific Blue. Are you rolling down to the Patricia tonight ? Get the honeymoon suite with the hot tub? Errrrr sorry the one with the bathtub

So why is Pettersson not playing center?

Bubbles says he will never play centre, I'm going by that

[Topper]

Much better game by Elias. Showing more willingness to work on the boards (still not winning many) and the way he fought off the hook on his break away and still got of the shot was note worthy. Also displayed some speed on the Sedin like long shot of the boards and beat the icing play.

He has that lazy looking big guy stride away from the puck were he looks like he's dogging it but likely isn't.

You could tell he was pissed with himself on the shootout effort.

Sweden's PP is far too stationary.

Lol I said he’s been playing wing this year which he has. I hope he goes back to centre but ultimately he should play where he plays the vest and produces the most. Right now that’s on the wing.

Someone commented on this year's Swedish team that almost all the forwards could play at centre, which allows for the possibility to mix and match quite a bit, if you want to. Pettersson is generally listed as C/RW, but on the powerplay goal he scored on the Swiss, he and Nylander had switched sides, so he was actually playing LW for a bit. Not sure why. Maybe to mess with the opponents' heads a bit?

Better shooting angle.
