Goal by Pettersson!

It was really supposed to be an assist to a goal by Andersson, but a Swiss player intercepted the pass into his own goal...
Pettersson thus got the credit.

[Blob Mckenzie]

I’m happy he’s putting up a few points and am anxious to see how he does in the next round when the competition amps up a bit

God-damned!

Sweden's seventh goal is just b-e-a-u-t-i-ful!

Elias Pettersson!

What a guy!

The Swiss did a good job of containing Sweden for two periods, and the score, going into the third period, was just 3-2 in Sweden's favour. But eventually the Swiss ran out of gas, and Sweden won the third period 4-0 (shots 19-6) for a comfortable 7-2 victory.

Also, in the third period the coach moved Lias Andersson permanently to the first line. He had been playing with Pettersson and Nylander on the first powerplay formation, but in five on five they were originally centered by Zetterlund, who is more of a two way centre who was meant to be more defensively responsible.

Andersson, Pettersson and Nylander really seem to have fun together on the ice and their tape to tape passes at times are reminiscent of the old Soviet tic-tac-toeing. It's great fun to watch!

People have been saying "sure, he is getting some points on the powerplay, but we want to see more!"

That goal was more.

Considering that he hasn't been feeling well, I think Pettersson has done fairly well so far.

And here it is:

[Cousin Strawberry]

Holy shit thats a filthy dangle.

We're gonna need to add some knuckle draggers to the roster when he throws on the stinky whale...teams are gonna be finishing checks hard on him and we'll be needing him in one piece...i reckon

[Topper]

As impressive as it looked, he deked a dead tired SWISS defender, used Anderson's pick, then fooled an atrocious SWISS goaltender. I will say he was more physical this game and did a couple of things along the boards. For the most part though, he was loosing one on one puck battles. Hopefully it is still the flu taking it's toll.

Yeah that pick was pretty greasy, almost Sedin like. Still the kid has filthy hands and a great shot to go along with that reach. Still like to see him a bit more engaged in the high traffic areas. The next round should be a good test and so should the game against the Russians for that matter

[Chef Boi RD]

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

[Mickey107]

Big test for Elias at 5pm against the Russians.

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

[Chef Boi RD]

Do you wish Elias was more of a pugilist?
