*Buzzsaw* Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yeah, it's real early, after two games... Yeah, the kid has probably been running on a huge hit of adrenaline for the last two games... Yeah, he was playing at home in Minnesota in front of the family... Conversely... He is still dealing with the wrist injury... Conversely... He has gotta be exhausted after playing 3 hi tempo games in a row... But you gotta admit... He looks good. REAL GOOD... as a certain coach might say... Add on to that a summer re-habbing and a fitness routine under the care and attention of the pro's of the Canucks staff... and I gotta believe his scating will improve, he'll put on pounds, and that nose for the net and the passing finesse he has clearly shown may send him out of the gate like a rocket. I'm of two minds about this... the coaches made a mistake with Virtanen... not everyone's Bo ready, but this kid looks and behaves like a more mature young man... (he is more mature) What's the early opinion? Keep him in Van for the rest of the season, or send him down to Utica for some good playoff experience?

nickels Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 read somewhere the signing(and playing NHL gm?) made him ineligible for Utica ? Think was Botchfords article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 For most young players the issue is consistency. Playing hard day in and day out is the challenge. Never taking a shift off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like he is definitely a very mature young man who has gone through quite a lot in life. His passing skills seem very developed for such a young player. I believe he should stay up with the big club getting some coaching with nhl coaches. Can you imagine the improvements he can make just from developing some chemistry and learning the systems as well. I love his tendency to want the puck on his stick and take shots. He doesn't rush things and when he shoots it's hard and accurate. His one timer he did last game was very promising. I want him to use that on the halfway on the power play, that could be exciting. Pretty sure he is no long playoff eligible for the comets since he has played in the nhl now, not 100% sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 2 games in and he looks good. That's literally all that can be said thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Considering his play without a single practice with the team, I'd say he's the real deal. NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am surprised that he actually looked like a decent fit with Bo and Baer when he never had a practice. Will be interesting to see his improvements by seasons end. I haven't been this excited about a prospect in the lineup since Bo's rookie year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Would be nice if he works on his skating over the summer, would do a lot for him. I say he's NHL ready. 3.5 games in 3 nights. Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Didn't he say that he'd studied some videos of Bo and the Bear to learn their tendencies? I'm guessing that on prior conversations JB tipped him off that that's where they saw the fit. Yes, he's NHL ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 He's ready, in his first 2 games, Brock has been sensational to watch. I just want to see some more Brock n Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type R Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Brock has been very good his first 2 games, he seemed a touch slower tonight, but thats expected given this was his 3rd game in as many nights. He has a shoot first mentality, that said he's made some great passes as well. Another 15 pounds on that frame would go a long way as well. If this was the second line of the next 2-3 years I would be impressed, because of all the players on our team, these 3 (Bear, Bo & Boeser) don't look like they have to force it. I am encouraged by this, and this will be the highlight of the ending season thats upon this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I don't think he's eligible to play in Utica at this point. I could be wrong. its an incredibly small sample size, but he's physically ready. Doesn't get pushed around like goldobin, but he's still recovering and adjusting boeser looks a little stiff out there but he haven't seen his best hockey yet. He looks a lot like oshie.

Salmonberries Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It's impossible to decide this based on three games in three nights with no practice time. I'll reserve judgement until October at least. His skating does seem up to par though which is extremely encouraging, on the other hand his shot isn't getting through to the net. Kind of a mixed bag so far, but it's far too early to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have made him self eligible by signing an ATO with Utica first as Ottawa first rounder Colin White did today but he chose not to. So no, he can't play in Utica until next season.

Smashian Kassian Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think he's ready, still has some to learn but he's ready to play & contribute at this level. He likes to shoot and tries to make things happen when he has the puck, this team needs guys like that the way this team plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
