I think you're making a good point here.  As the skill level of the Canucks in general improves it will help all players to perform better.  I think there is a "critical mass" as it were, where synergies take hold and the team will improve rapidly.  We can see this with Winnipeg and Colorado and others.

 

As for Boeser, I expected to get flamed for sounding critical.  I'm a big fan of Boeser and he strikes me as a guy who will work hard over the summer and he will improve a lot as time goes on.  

 

 

Did someone flame you?   I thought what you posted was very constructive and accurate.

Maybe he just trolls her on Twitter. He’d be a Vancouver legend if that was the case. 

That has to be it. Boeser's character has been made clear to us.

So the Jets would've had Laine and Boeser, crazy.  Still Boston could've had Barzal, Boeser and Connor/Debrusk.

Can someone explain?  I don't want to google this lady on my work computer to find out she's a porn star or something.

She's not a porn star. She's a political commentator according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomi_Lahren

 

But she works for Fox news so, in some ways, it's worse than being a porn star...

I think he injured that wrist vs the Lightning

 

 

 

Side Rant:  With a boatload of cap space now I hope the Canucks go after Ryan Reaves in the UFA market.  Over pay a bit if they have to.

 

The hit above is clean, I get it.  But Boeser had a target on him that night, and Girardi nailed him more than once.  When I think of Pettersson and Dahlen etc being injected into the lineup i get real nervous knowing that they will be targets too.  I know that Reaves wont stop players from getting hit but you have to think that having arguably the toughest guy in the NHL sitting on the bench, a guy that can actually play and wont hurt the team, will make the Girardis of the world think twice before punishing our best players.  I look at it as an insurance policy.  Over pay reeves a bit so the kids can operate in a safer environment.

That is kind of what I was afraid of. Even after not playing for over a month his wrist is still bothering him. And there is no obvious surgical fix. The injection presumably does nothing to fix the underlying injury -- just helps reduce pain (anti-inflammatory maybe?). And the fact that he needs treatment for pain after all this time is a red flag. 

 

It was weird that the medical evaluation occurred on media exit interview day, so he had to miss the interview. Presumably they could have worked around that, but maybe the Canucks did not want Boeser talking about either of his injuries.

 

Rick Dhaliwal puts it more postively:

 

No surgery on wrist for Boeser. Wrist was still bothering him in year end physical but just needs more time to heal.

 

September is a long way off. Let's hope that is enough time both both injuries to be fully healed.

Mind you that he also injured that same wrist in his Sophomore year at North Dakota.  Its definitely a nagging injury since then, and well probably need some serious physiotherapy on that wrist to fix what is going on.  Could be just that he needs to rest that wrist, i saw another tweet that said he would have a cast that would immobilize the wrist for up to a month.  He has been playing with that injured wrist for nearly a season and half, where a lot of the tendons take time to heal.  I think a good summer of rest from playing and immobilizing it will help him.

Vancouver Canucks rookie Brock Boeser feels like the luckiest guy who ever had his season end a month early due to injury.

In his first interview since breaking a bone in his lower back on March 5, the 21-year-old winger said his National Hockey League career could have ended when he was propelled backwards into the open frame of door at the Canucks’ player bench.

“It was hard, especially because I love the game so much and I never want to miss any games,” Boeser told Sportsnet on Wednesday. “But I’ve got to look at the other side of it. I am pretty lucky because that injury could have ended my career, honestly.

“Right after, when I was going to the hospital, that’s the thoughts you have because I was in so much pain. It was definitely scary. (But) the first thing I did when I was laying there on the ice was move my toes and legs. Then I could relax a little bit. I knew something was wrong; I just didn’t know what it was. It was still pretty scary.”

The hit by Islander Cal Clutterbuck broke the transverse process on Boeser’s L4 vertebrae. A transverse process is a bony spur that projects off the side of each vertebrae. The Canucks announced the next day that Boeser should recover in 4-6 weeks.

The scoring star from Burnsville, Minn., and the University of North Dakota said Wednesday that his recovery is on schedule. He also said a lingering injury of his wrist, which Boeser jammed Feb. 8 in Tampa but caused him to miss only one game, will not require surgery.

Boeser flew home to Minnesota on Monday to consult with Dr. Stephen Olmsted, the orthopedic surgeon who operated on the same wrist last season during the player’s final year at North Dakota.

“It’s the same wrist but a different injury,” Boeser said, adding that his wrist should require only a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection and four weeks of immobilization.

While he heals, Boeser is taking his parents and siblings on a Hawaiian holiday. The first-year player, who led the Canucks with 29 goals and was a Calder Trophy candidate until he was injured, said he will be training fully by summer and 100 per cent healthy to start next season.

“I definitely know that it’s going to be harder,” he said. “As this year went on, Bo (Horvat) and I were having to go against the top lines and top defensive pairs more. There were times I was tired, either mentally or my legs were tired. The older guys really taught me that side of it.

“I don’t want to have a letdown year. You hear about that (sophomore jinx) stuff. But I’m not worried about that. I’m going to really focus this summer on getting better, and improving my skating, and just continue to work hard. The year I had, that gives me a lot of confidence and kind of tells me the player I can be in the NHL.”

As a rookie, the 2015 first-round pick surpassed all expectations, including his own.

“Yeah, for sure,” he said. “My first goal was to make the team. After I did that, you go from there. Personally, I wanted to score 20 goals for the team this year and I think I did that before Christmas. From that point on, I had other goals, like playing consistency and producing for the team. I think it was a pretty good year for me personally.”

Boeser became the first rookie to be named MVP of the NHL all-star game, and his 29 goals were the most by a first-year Canuck since Pavel Bure scored 34 in 1991-92 and won the Calder Trophy.

Despite playing just 62 games, Boeser tied Daniel Sedin for the Canuck scoring lead with 55 points.

What leads you to that conclusion?    Injuring the same wrist and having a "nagging injury" are entirely different things.   Haven't you ever injured the same area of your body before?   Between injuries it can heal completely and wrists, like knees, can take some considerable time to heal but once healed, they are not necessarily "nagging" unless there is some permanent damage.

 

Boeser's shot until his injury this year, and certainly his all-star game accuracy, did not point to someone with a nagging wrist injury.      It is good news that surgery is not required and some rest is likely the perfect tonic.

Should probably point out Boeser's quote from the article above your post:

Like you said, doesn't appear like he aggravated a previous injury.
