I love Petey and Brock’s bromance 💜
Excited to see him win the Calder Trophy tonight! 🙌🙌🙌
Won't ever get tired hearing the words: "Elias shoots, SCORES!!"
Elias is going to be a great NHL player. I'm glad he's a CANUCKS. GO CANUCKS🍻🍻🍻
Got teary eyed watching this, we're so lucky to have him.
he is not only really skilled, but he seems to be such a great person. there is just no way that someone could NOT like this guy
I love this kid, he's amazing
He's gonna be one of the best players in the NHL
It's crazy how many great players Sweden produces per capita. If you compare the size of Sweden to our nation and other Hockey nations it's tiny, yet so many great players are in NHL and they are a serious foe in WC every time as well.
Everything about his technique is just crazy good. Super clean wrist shots, fluent slapshots and excellent puck handling coupled with extremely high hockey IQ makes him just outrageously good. Can’t wait to see what he does next year!
Devils fan here . I love Elias Petterson , nothing but class and skill . Good luck canucks ! 👏🏻
He is from my country! Hell of a beast❤️
