It's a fun way to raise funds for local charities and promote hockey in Minnesota. It was created by his own agent and hockey players in Minnesota nearly all participate. Does golf help? i don’t wanna drag on him to much. but he’s needs to have a serious summer. He’s paid serious money to be an elite athlete. i don’t know how many more days off and playing golf he needs but we a week into July here and I hope he’s grinding hard and has a fool proof summer plan for his physical training (strength and conditioning and skating ) I want to see Him broadcasting that’s he’s training hard, in the gym, skating, putting his all into this summer to earn his salary. not that he’s playing golf or at the water or lounging maybe he’s actually grinding hard and not sharing anything related but damn he can’t come into camp in anything but tip top shape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to see him post about explosiveness training 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad the read that Brock accepts his fitness isn’t where it needs to be to be the best player he can be. Hopefully the new trainer has Brock lean down 15 pounds too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man you just have to look at the guys face he was never in shape. His future career depends on him loosing 15+lbs. He looks like he has baby fat and depending on playingin the Beaut league he has to get down to serious work out. I recall the Sedins thought playing soccer in the summer was adequate and later realized their error. Whne they put in the time is when they started to get rewards. If BB is looking to extend his career this should be the year to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I think the Boeser/Fitness thing is likely overstated given what he’s been going through in his personal life. He’s also been a coaches favourite largely under Green who was a fitness nut like Tocchet is. The bigger story is that he seems refocused and committed to this season and with that he could be the biggest addition of the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I think his mental state likely played a factor over the last couple of years, and it seems his shot has never been the same since his wrist injury. The time off to absorb his fathers death along with directed training to work on his biggest deficiency (speed) should do him good. I feel his decision to withdraw his trade request says a lot. Says he was uncomfortable with his life, but things began to come into focus for him and he has direction now. There are several positive indicators that he should be poised for a strong season. A rookie-style Brock is a Brock that can really make a difference for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Any stuff between whistles should be fights or threats of fights. Boeser needs some scares on his face. We want him lean and mean. No more Mr. Nice guy da beauty league. Fight club!

Boeser's move after the whistle is to shrug his shoulders. He does it every time, I'm not sure why. Sore shoulder? Equipment problem? Because it looks cool? I'd like to see Brock play with more grit. He's not a small player and needs to find a bit of nasty, get his hands dirty. See the opponent as the enemy, willing to do what it takes to win. Brock has a big heart though, seems like a sensitive guy, so we'll see. Love hearing Boeser is training with a trainer Tocchet recommended, to amp up his conditioning. Looks like Brock is taking it seriously and I'm hopeful he comes to camp as a faster, more competitive player. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I don't think Brock's got any fire in his belly. He's a great guy with a ton of talent but he's just soaking it up loving life care free. You could literally behead Pete infront of him and his response would be "hey bro that wasn't cool you need to chill more I'm having a BBQ later you should come." Is he going to score in the playoffs?? Does he have the battle and drive to push through adversity? I see a guy who's just having fun playing shinny at the pond with a couple beers in a snow bank. Can't be mad at the guy he's just not wired to be a pro athlete. That he's gotten this far on his gifts is remarkable and good for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Brock has 311 points in 398 games. That is .781 points per game. Problem is he misses a lot of games due to injury. If he gets in shape that should translate into more durability. 82 games at .781 is 64 points. If being in shape improves his performance he could easily become a 75 point player. Guy is only 26. I think he is going to become a much better player as he gets closer to his peak years. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if he comes in a bit lighter, and how the training translates to his play. Edited July 20, 2023 by Ted Lasso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my pet peeves of BB was always skating away when Petey or someone got nailed, then look away and skate as if he didn't see it and acting like every NHL game is the 2018 All Star game and chummy and laughing with opponents like you stated (like I am your buddy so don't hit me), he needs to play with more desire, he said he hated and resented hockey (and it showed in his play) I don't wanna see him pull a Jake and just talk the talk (remembering how he wanted to make people hate to play against him), especially after Identifying it yourself. I have a feeling he may come back an improved player (let's hope it is Very noticeable) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
