ice orca Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yeah, I hope he's ready to go and I'm with you, I don't trust his ability to stay healthy. If we get ever get a full season out of him I'm interested to see what he brings. I still don't think we've even seen what he can offer. But he was training/skating last year, and he will be again. You don't get to this level without off-season training/power skating/skill set practice every summer. You simply will not keep up with the rest of the league. No matter how many animals he hunts or cliffs he jumps off of in his spare time, rest assured he is training and training hard. One of his knocks is that his work-outs can be too intense. I think we need to hope he's smart with how he's training, but we don't need to doubt that he is. Every player in the NHL is getting ready for September right now.

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 At last count he was flying down the wing and getting himself with the puck to the net. He just couldn't do anything with it from there, however with Kesler and Kassian or Burrows crashing the net Booth should be able to rack up some assists. He really needs to work on his wrist shot accuracy, plenty hard plenty wide or high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think he should be good. If I remember correctly, he was hoping to play if we had made it to the 3rd Round, which would have been in June. Plus he was tweeting weeks back about doing some hiking.

The Bookie Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I don't think he would have been bought out either way, although it's possible he could have been traded. I'm happy to give Booth another season to prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good for you lol finally someone that listens to the coach and manager Management have stated the whole time the CANUCKS will start Booth out with Santorelli for to see if they can get the chemisry back They have also said they will play Burr (on his natural left side) with Kess As well as 2 or 3 young kids in the opening day roster (jensen Gaunce Horvat are my 3 guesses) So with that in consideration it leaves us with an OPENING DAY forward lineup of something like (which IMO is not bad) Sedin Sedin Kassian Burrows Kesler Jensen Booth Santorelli Gaunce/Horvat Higgins Richardson Hansen Thats almost a 1A 1B and a 3rd line scoring and a 3rd line checking It will leave us ith a real strong team if it works or a real weak team if it does not go rite And im hoping for the strong one GO NUCKS GO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I am not convinced that Booth is injury prone. That last one was a full sized and body armoured NHL'er falling on his ankle. Even Hank would have been sidelined for that one. It's the price for players that play in the dirty areas. Something Booth excells at, he goes to the net without fear and battles in the corners. Granted, none of that is worth the paycheque yet, but I am hopeful that he'll have a career year. That said, I wouldn't play TAPS for the season if he was moved.

Drouin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 When did they say they were going to play Booth and Santorelli together? I like those lines maybe switch Booth to the right wing and Gaunce to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Seems like Booth won't be ready for season opener with reports he hasn't been skating...great news in that gives a likely chance that Shinkaruk/Horvat get a chance, at least a few games under their belt.

Bananas Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 He's had plenty enough time to prepare, which in turn means yes, he will be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
