Bouchers got 5 goals in 19 games with the Canucks. That's essentially a 20 goal pace. He's earned a spot on next year's roster if you ask me.

And that Boeser kid. A solid 82 goal pace. Might have a spot too.

[Western Red]

American feed gushing over Brock Boeser. He might have 2000+ fans in that building.

Toronto's gone WILD for Vancouver. Go figure. 

[70seven]

So at this point what's the % chance of Boucher being qualified?

 

you have to think that he at least deserves another look at camp next year

[J-23]

Sedins need to do what all the greats have done at least once in their career and that's have a fight! Toews, Crosby, Gretzky they've all done it before now it's the Sedins turn. Maybe they can team up and be like Undertaker and Kane. here are a list of candidates they should fight if they choose to:

1. Brad Marchand

2. Zdeno Chara

3. Dustin Brown

[yes we can nucks]

Well it must've been said before but .. Reid Boucher could really pass as Kyle Wellwood's little bro!

Winning just feels too good!

It's like drugs at this point, bad for the franchise but damn that high though.

[4thLineGrinder]

good interview ried, he has responded well to the tough love

[-Vintage Canuck-]

The way Baertschi found Boeser with a no-look kick pass tells me they are going to be a really good line. First game and already looking comfortable.

[Green Building]

Looks like Skille sat on and rolled over his ankle. That's gotta hurt.

As much as I want a high pick, I want us to embarrass the Wild further.

we can do that, and still have the cake too.  Draft lottery, can always move up to #1-3.

I want a high pick too but when I look at the plAyers JB has been able to bring in and has in the pipeline, it doesn't seem quite as important to go second instead of third.  I am enjoying the kids too much to want them to lose.

Easy now. Lol. Yeah hes played well for us , but lets not get crazy. 

I agree, although he could be a solid back up behind marky if millsy decides to move on.

I want Miller resigned and Markstrom traded

 

Bachman is proven to be a solid backup

 

I'd argue he's making a case to be a starter with his recent play. Really rooting for this kid!

 

And congrats Boeser! I'm so glad I witnessed his first!

 

Can't forget about Boucher!

Yes + out of pluses

I have started doubting Markstrom this year. More an more he is not making a case for himself to be a starter.

Bachman needs a good 4 or 5 game look to showcase his stuff.

Agreed! If we were winning off the backs of Sedin/Miller heroics, I would feel less enthused. But I would gladly take a W if it means the kids are developing.

On crutches.  Hyper extended knee?

LOL comparing Daniel and Hank to taker and Kane... That'd be epic! 

 

I'd be fine even if one of them fought that rat koivu tonight. I just don't see it though... They'll never fight =(

Yeah I'm feeling this way too. Watching them have fun and develop is way more awesome.
