Do you really think the hesitation and anxiety over the persistent statements by many that Elias Pettersson cannot be an NHL center, are for fear of him losing a few face-offs? NO! Faceoffs aren't the reason Pettersson won't play center. There is some serious ignorance amongst fans as to what a center actually does, once you enter to the offensive zone your position at forward is more of a fall back then a rule and depends on your offensive strategy....now listen up everyone, you are going to learn why this "center" thing is such a big deal and why you can throw anyone on the wing (Including a defenseman) but only CENTERS play center...and why Peterrsson won't play there in the NHL.  Center is the most important position in hockey...why? Because a center is both forward AND defenseman, the center's job is to cover the slot and behind the net in the D-zone, while the left and right D men cover the obvious remaining territory, one might also say your cente...

I must admit, when the Vancouver Canucks drafted Jarred McCann I was really excited about McCann from day 1, and considering what I had heard about the type of game he plays and the fact he plays center, I considered him our most important prospect by far. I don't know where the disconnect was but the player I watched last years wasn't the one I heard about. In fact it was more than once I thought to myself "This guy reminds me of Jordan Shroeder.

McCann? Nothing, couple of wrist shots and disappeared for the rest of the year, no pushback, no demand for the spotlight, just sank into the shadows. Sounds like he's doing the same t...

                             Linden Vey has cleared waivers via the Calgary Flames       This may be the end of a bumpy road upon which a promising NHL career has run over some rus nails and blown all tires, a road that may end in the Swiss league, Who is to blame besides the man him we self? Well, there's plenty to go around and to teach us all just what kind of damage can be done try to make ourselves feel better by dumping our negativity on someone else. One group that needs to look at it's pimple-scared Asian  face right in the mirror  the fan base of the Vancouver Canucks, A group notoriously voted the most obnoxious fan-base in all of sports a few years back. To this day, they mumble in broken English "What-a-made-a-anyone-give-a him-chance-in-first-place?" Though Van fans were having too much fun hating on him too notice, Vey has a level of skill with the puck that rivals ...
