New York. Team Vancouver may be intimidating, but Elias Peterson is still a global superstar.
He grabbed a resounding five points in a rare win over Philadelphia last night.
– Still very happy in Vancouver and I’m open to a long contract extension this summer, the 24-year-old promised from Ånge in a long interview after winning 6-2.
Such is the case with the Canucks. They’ve had a major season and will miss the playoffs by a wide margin.
But as they showed against Philadelphia last night, they can still play hockey, win and above all: they have a superstar in Elias Peterson.
He scored two goals into an empty net at the end – the first with a backhand kick from his own area – and played up to three more goals.
This places him joint ninth in the NHL point standings.
– Yes, today things went better than in the last few matches. We did what we had to do, especially in the game without a disc, Betty says during a long “after hours” interview with the TV show Hockey Night in Canada after the final whistle.
Opens to extend
In it, he also looks to boost morale in his hometown with a half-promise.
Are you open to signing a long-term contract this summer? Yes im this person. For now, I just want to focus on finishing this season as well as possible, but it’s entirely possible, he says.
– I still think it’s very interesting to play here, I enjoy it. We’ve had some ‘down’ seasons but we’re working hard to get better in the future.
That’s exactly what fans want to hear from a star who just hit five points…
