That Pettersson kid is amazing, basically carrying that Vancouver team this season.

They got weak goaltending, weak D, and some good offensive prospects.

Pettersson, Boesser are already top line players capable at producing around point per game. Horvat looks like he is topping out at 45-55 points a season which isn't too shabby either.

Let me rephrase, Pettersson is playing at a superstar level and if he continues his play he is a sure bet for the calder.

Most their other forwards are pretty young with some potential. Got too many overpaid veterans like

Maybe Larkin and Or Mantha can turn into this !

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Seems I cut a bit out about the overpaid vets like Eriksson, Beagle, and Roussel.

Its certainly not cap breaking like Detroit's situation. But it seems the Pettersson isn't held back by a system like Larkin is here.

It would be nice if the team got some leads. Always behind early.

Talk about a bad 5 minutes in regulation and OT. Borefest

SO winner by Larkin. Yipee.

Crap I forgot to turn the channel back.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice to get 2 points here..

Showing replays of Datsyuk makes me sad and wish we had another one.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

There is not replacement for Datsyuk anywhere.

Haven't seen a single player dominate in all aspects of game as he did during his prime.

That only looks like Datsyuk and Malkin.
