Hopefully he’s learned a few things from KB3 while being on the HNIC panel.

This is great news. Perhaps we find EP’s sniper in Lek within a year or two. Would be the most ideal situation and save us major cap space.

Canucks’ Jonathan Lekkerimäki, Elias Pettersson To Stay In North America May 13th, 2024 at 11:24am CST • By Gabriel Foley The Vancouver Canucks will be adding two top prospects to the fold next season, with forward Jonathan Lekkerimäki and defenseman Elias Pettersson both set to move to North America, shares their Swedish club, Örebro HK (Twitter link). The pair both joined the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks following the end of Örebro’s season, each recording two points through six and eight games respectively. They’re now set to stay in North America, providing a major boost to Vancouver’s depth chart. It’s likely that both players report to Abbotsford for the start of next season, though Lekkerimäki could be poised to rival an NHL spot. The 19-year-old winger was prolific in the SHL this season, netting 19 goals and 31 points through 46 games. It was the most a U20 player has produced in the SHL since Emil Bemstrom put up 35 points in 2018-19 and Elias Pettersson(the forward) recorded 56 points in 2017-18. Lekkerimäki earned the SHL’s ‘Rookie of the Year’ award with the performance, joining a talented list of winners including Nicklas Backstrom and William Eklund. Lekkerimäki maintained the strong production internationally as well, recording seven goals and 10 points in seven World Juniors games and five points in five friendly matches with Sweden’s U20 club. While his skillful, shoot-first style will need some refining before it’s fully NHL-ready, there’s no doubt that Vancouver is happy with the value they landed when they drafted Lekkerimäki 15th overall in 2022. And while Pettersson – a third-round selection in 2022 – doesn’t offer the same ceiling as his Örebro teammate, his development has been just as worth following. Pettersson is an impressively fluid defender, keeping up with play well despite his 6-foot-4, 209-lbs frame. He’s aggressive in all aspects, using an active stick and physical presence to shut down opponents when defending the rush, and jumping at the bits to join the offensive rush whenever he can. Pettersson is reliable on the puck and finds teammates well, though he’s still refining his ability to be patient when creating scoring chances. He seemed to be adjusting to the AHL well at the end of the year, and could be poised for a big season next year should he add a bit more discipline. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/05/canucks-jonathan-lekkerimaki-elias-pettersson-to-stay-in-north-america.html#ref=home

McWhiny just got folded up after being a dirty bitch once again

Yeah hate to say it but Marchand off ice actually has character. He's a prick but his teammates love him. He also showed up early to attend Bruins rookie camp and practiced through the entirety to pass along his knowledge to the up and comers. That’s classy and an org-first mentality. on ice, he’s still a rat bastard though.

Embarrassed

Zaddy to the entire Oilers bench after ejecting Kane:

Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa Zaddy is a beast

Extend that man!

Kill him JTM

it’s like we resort to a low gear rope a dope style for 1 period of every playoff game and it rarely ends up working for us. I don’t know why this occurs. I don’t think it’s coaching though. Seems all too familiar going back to Green’s days

Absolutely. We should be playing with a Lean on Leon agenda.

A few of us are such a salty bunch, I love it. Keep it up! GCG

Would like to see Soucy heavily lay someone out

Same goes for them and us with BB6. Unless your shadow plays man on man, which neither team can always do with the way the O is coached, the chances are going to come
