“Mama said there’d be days like this. Elias Pettersson is in the lineup!
“Marcus Pettersson is in the lineup!
“And so too is Elias Pettersson, he’s also in the Vancouver lineup! Help me, Dave.”
“Godspeed, Shorty.”

On the bench, has there been any confusion between all of the Peteys?
“Oh, I got a new nickname today, so, yeah.”
Care to share?
“Eh, I don’t want to share it. I’m gonna come up with a new one because I don’t like it.”
[laughter] You know, Quinn’s never shaken “Huggy” [as a nickname]. He got Huggy in his first year and he hasn’t shaken it since, so you might just be stuck.
“Oh. [nods] I don’t understand that, what you meant.”

the Canucks trying to figure out nicknames for all their Petterssons:
Canucks: Three-Petey.
we have our first recorded moment of Petey confusion and it comes from MP3:
As a more veteran guy, is there anything that stands out to you about Elias Pettersson the defender [intending the question to be about D-Petey]?
“Yeah, just his overall game, you know, two ways. I think he’s awesome with the puck, he can protect it, and he’s very good defensively. Something I’ve - I played with him one Worlds [he played with EP40 at the 2019 IIHF World Championships, has never played with D-Petey internationally], and I saw it then, but to see it up close, how good he is defensively, how responsible he is, it’s really fun to see. And like I said, he can make some plays with the puck that’s out of this world, so he’s a real fun player to watch.”
