Wins are just a bonus, entertaining hockey from the kids is all I wanted and Pettersson is delivering that in spades.

Funny, without him, Pettersson, they're nowhere near as entertaining. One guy makes a huge difference.

Who would have thought, he's making his teammates kick it up a notch as well. Like Burkie said, "how long can they sustain this pace?" Every game is a bonus.

You just like to argue hey

You said big, fast? I thought you were going to say players that are both not one or the other.

I just never imagined he'd bring this much offence. Second most goals for, second worst goals against #Canucks

EP tied for 8th in goals & 20th in scoring.
Where could he be if he wasn’t gooned?

I said they could use that right now, like Rantanen. Then I mentioned some of the kids they passed on, they're mutually exclusive. But I can see how it could've been interpreted that I meant those kids are those things.

Bottom line, they need a young scoring top six winger in the draft.

Pettersson is the real deal. Kid can hockey.

Maybe they will draft one this year.

I love the team right now, but I still want a top pick.

Yep.

I think D is more important since it takes more time to fully realize potential & can never have enough. C & D go hand in hand for priorities.

I never listen to Burkie .

I like what Carol said and I have been doing this all year , "It probably won't last but enjoy it while it does"

I was joking in last thread when I said we will be drafting 28 th.


I didn't think one of these was necessary.

Pretty exciting proposition. Everything is up in the air right now though, team isn't great defensively and the goaltending is poor but it's early, we've seen this movie before.

Bottom line is, with Pettersson, they're much more exciting to watch. I'm not sure they can sustain this but if they do, great, finish 12-14 and win the lottery or second pick in the lottery.

This sure sounds different than when you flipped out during the preseason.

Henrik on Pettersson: “He’s really impressive. He plays the game in a way that you can’t really compare him to other players. He can do it all. The way he sees the ice and understands the game, I think that comes from playing in the top league in Sweden last season against men.”

I thought you had your trade hat on is all. Didnt think it was to do with our spot in the standings at season end. That's quite ridiculous.

A top pick would certainly make the team better in the more immediate future. It is still possible to draft some very good players throughout the first and second rounds. It's up to JB and staff to find them. Once the team becomes good and they aren't drafting in the top 15 anymore. Can he still find players that will help the team win championships and stay competitive. Shall see.

I would really like another first round pick even if it's 31st and a mid round 2nd this season. Probably more then I ever have.

A week ago I bought tickets to Bohemian Rhpsody's opening night (Last night)

Needless to say the Movie was fukking incredible......... But apperantly I issed the most exciting hockey game since 2011.....

Wacha gunna do....

Certainly fun to watch. W's to me aren't as important as entertaining hockey this season. If things go sideways, that's how it goes.
- VanHockeyGuy

This team is exciting, right now. Most of the games thus far have been very entertaining. Very impressive with the amount of significant injuries that they keep winning. My wife said the other night that these games have reminded her why she liked watching hockey so much.
I hope they can keep surprising us but I'm looking forward to the torrent of tears if they don't.

Casey with one point. Better than Petey.
