Beary Sweet Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hopefully he comes in late in the season whether in Utica or here in the big club to see a glimpse of what kind of a player he will become. Also cheers to a successful recovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how the league has conspired against the Canucks in so many ways that it is not even funny anymore. A dirty hits causing injury seemed happen to us too many times. But in this case, Boeser's injury is normal, and is better than knee injury or head injury. Let's hope that our prospects will remain healthy for foreseen future.

LaBamba Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I honestly don't care that he isn't playing in the WJC. That tournament and the success or failure in it has no correlation to NHL success. Yet everyone treats it like a sneak peak into a players destiny. I have never really been a big fan of the tournament to be honest. It's never really interested me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends, Most people heavily measure how good a player base on his points and not how they actually perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 This is the Canucks luck in a ****ing nutshell LOL. I was pumped to watch him in the WJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Eh, as disappointing as it is he'll miss the world juniors it's a tad overrated. Especially in regards to how prospects are hyped. Him getting it taken care of, his long term health and him getting back to playing with UND are far more important than a tournament like that.

Ghostsof1915 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 He'd probably just injure his wrist or worse at the Juniors. I'd rather him be healthy and come to training camp next and make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to JJ Daigneault or has that happened again since? I recall Harry Neale being quite defensive about the Daigneault/crutches situation with the local media retards (yes the media were retards back then as well -- it is a local tradition of sorts).

Yeah that's who I was referring to...he actually did end up for a fairly lengthy NHL career to my recollection. Granted more as a 'journeyman type' but still not exactly a bust.

If I'm not mistaken ol' JJ is currently an assistant coach with the Canadiens. He played 17 years in the NHL with stops in almost every city on the circuit. Not too shabby for a one legged guy.

I watch the tourney for the high quality of hockey, and anytime a Canuck prospect is playing that's just a bonus. Plus, it's good experience to play against the best players around your age group. edit: bolded the part I agree with, but I wouldn't say everyone treats it that way, just a portion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
