Most of the other candidates played similar or slightly more games in college of the junior boys league. I don't think there's any edge there. Barzel had 57 games, Chabot 52 games, McAvoy 44games, Keller 33 games. It's quite likely that some of the other candidates will be at the all-star game as well. I didn't mention anything about the Calder trophy "race". It seems that alot of people are just writing the Canuck season off and focusing on BB winning an individual award. I think the coaches, management and fanbase wouldn't mind if he loses the Calder but has a strong finish to the season and doesn't hit a wall.

HorvatToBaertschi Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 For all the people thinking that teams having the book on Boeser is actually gonna change anything, honestly i just can't agree. There are just some players in this league, very few of them, that just need one shot and they capitalize. Ovechkin and Stamkos have an office on the PP, that weve all known since '06, yet they still score from the very same spot. Boeser has that kind of shot, and no matter how much focus will be on shutting him down, all he will need will be one chance. I see him as a consistent 30 goal scorer at worst. I thought 20 goals this year would be ideal, but 30 games in and he's already pretty much there. It only helps that he has great hands, good vision, and is decent on the defensive side of the puck. And he is tough as nails. I wanted to temper my expectations, but he made it impossible. Barring any injuries, he is the rookie of the year, making a probably terrible season bearable for us die hard fans. I just cant see a sophomore slump, i see the same thing Laine is doing this year in brocks future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter and Tanev should be back after the New Year, while Bo and Baer will return in late January(?) so he will get more support and won't have to carry the team on his shoulders. The only concern I have regarding BB is the so-called 'bruised bone' injury. I hope he isn't having a lot of (or worse, long term) pain to deal with, as that really saps one's energy.

peaches5 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Anytime Brock gets a clear shot at the net I am like he's going to score. There are not many players who you just know are going to score when they shoot. He really might be leading the league in goals for the next decade. That shot is incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 What I loved about Boeser's goal against MTL, was how everything slowed down, time seemed to stop for a split second. He had a lot of time, all by himself, just him in front of Price, one of the world's best goalies. There was no trickery, there was no fluky deflection or tap in, he didn't need to one-time it or deke to fool Price. It was one shot, he even gave Price time to get ready, and he made one of the best look like a chump. And Boeser is doing this to all of the goalies he faces it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was mentioned that while BB was facing Price all alone, he slightly changed the angle of his shot and his stance while in mid-swing. That is incredible if true.

Nucker 67 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Had another thought, any chance Boeser gets to play in the All Star game? Maybe next year? I would think he'd be a lock for the sharp shooting skills competition. He's an exciting player, and I'm sure will become more and more popular around the league.

UFCanuck Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It's so nice to look at the 2015 draft board and look at all the teams who passed on Boeser. Washington could've had a Forsberg-Backstrom-Ovechkin Oshie-Kuznetsov-Boeser top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovenchicken is a big body though at 230lbs. That's the one big upvote you can't dismiss in the comparison. Virtanen....

I keep waiting for his pace to slow down because history tells us that is what usually happens. But while I still think it may, his shot is something really special. It might not just be luck with this guy.... he really might be that laser accurate. When you can stare down Price with all that time for him to set up and then score, thats rare. His ability to get open for his shot is also elite. We are so lucky to have had Benning steal him for us in that position and will have a ton of fun watching him for a long time. We really needed talent of this level again with the Sedins basically done their careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
