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? Might want to ask who on earth is out of their mind enough to NOT think he's ready... wrist injury??? what wrist injury? Fack what a wrist snipe he scored.. wow! Somehow I don't think it's bothering him that much or if at all On 3/26/2017 at 10:24 PM, Dr. Crossbar said: Blah, blah, blah ... he's ready! Nods.... what he said....

If he has indeed got faster with more explosive speed off the mark, I think he will be given a chance to make a claim to a place and then possibly "rested" down to Utica for spells to keep him fresh. Each time he comes back up hopefully stronger and stays longer. If he hasn't improved his speed I don't see him featuring for a few months, as he will be far better working on it down in Utica. Bo worked on his speed and look at him now... his foot speed is a lot better and I don't see why Brock's won't be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusRift Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I agree with those in CDC that figure he should be in the big show. Could well be the game breaking goal scorer that we've been lacking. Young with sh#tloads of potential. YeeeeeHa!!!! Go Canucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a plus player and plays well defensively. He already acts like a pro. Ever see him get excited after scoring? Nope. It's business as usual. Sending him to Utica would be frustrating for him and for the fans, and sends a terrible message to all of the other prospects. If Rodin makes it and Boeser doesn't, I'll have serious doubts about management moving forward. Boeser is definitely NHL ready and he is definitely a top 6 in the current line up. I am betting he will be the top scorer on the team as well. He has more offensive skill then Bo but has the same poise Bo did when he first came into the NHL. Haven't seen a Canuck rookie come in as a natural goal scorer since Bure and that's saying something. I also see Virtanen as our next Kassian. Very excited to see these two to make the team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Boeser reminds me of Naslund and Bo reminds me of Morrison... hint hint know who Bertuzzi reminds me of? lol Virtanen. We have our new West Coast Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, Trevor's first game included a shift unlike any other shift. If it wasn't his first game, it was really early in his first season. It was like a minute plus of the most heart you'd ever seen in a Canucks' jersey. You knew, right from the get-go, that Linden was going to be special, just because of this one shift. I don't think he scored a point that game, but it was something truly epic. That one shift was legendary. The hustle, the drive. It was like Bure's first game. He didn't score either, but you immediately knew he was even more special than Linden. Like once-in-a-lifetime special. Right from the get-go. We haven't seen anything like that in 25 years now. So, it's hard to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 This is the first game I get to watch Brock Boeser play. So stoked! Is he playing with some of the vets? I'm assuming so. They must be back from China by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser is a good young player, but doesn't look to be in those two guys' leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Chuck Norris one, for sure. Bure's dad was indeed insane. - likely a big reason why the brothers were so good though. I was playing UBC pick-up duffer one year and Valeri Bure came out. His dad was on the bench yelling at him and blowing the whistle during the scrimmage for him to speed up then slow down during play. Was quite the scene.
