Actually right now Boeser is -1 and Barzal is +1. So pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but we had a decent start to the season. I don't see NYI starting to tank anytime soon. We're still missing Tanev, Horvat, and Baer for weeks with a 2A/2B goaltending. I don't see Boeser's +/- reaching anywhere near as bad as Keller though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adarsh Sant Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Dec 22 Update Forget about rookies, Boeser is in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy. No seriously. He's 5th in overall goals and #1 in goals per 60 minutes among all players. This means that if you were to select a player to score 1 goal at any given time, Boeser would be your best bet.

wai_lai416 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 looks like Boeser is our shoo in to represent the team for the all star game excited to see him in those 3v3 format and playing with actual star players to show off his skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHatnDart Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Barzal having himself an absolute monster of a game today. Boeser needs a big answer tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I think if Brock can keep within 5 points of Barzal, up or down, he will have a strong finish when Bo comes back. You got to think that the guy that plays for the team (NYI) tied for first in offence (GF) in the NHL will have an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 If Boeser finish with close to 35-40 goals which is very realistic he should hands down win the Calder regardless of what barzal finish with in terms of points. Barzal is playing with legitimate established players and stars Tavares, eberle, lee etc etc of coz he’s going to get assist. Coz those guys can finish. Boeser doesn’t have the luxury of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I did believe that Boeser would be in the Calder race, but honestly can't believe he has 20 goals before the Christmas break. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-Hearted Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 To be able to score 20 goals as a 20-year old rookie before Christmas on an offensively-challenged and injury-riddled team is phenomenal. Just imagine Boeser as a young veteran on a much better Canucks team in 4-5 years. His numbers will be unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyBoy44 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Isn't Barzal feeding Anders and John? You think when you weigh supporting cast between the two, Brock is definitely more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you consider that Brock is the lone target (gets top oppositionD) on the Canucks and barzal get the oppositions next best (since JT gets top d). It adds more value to what Brock is doing. With that said both players are tremendous talents and if the Calder was awarded today I don’t think anyone could be upset with either player being chosen.

cbdoubleu Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Both have been unreal. Barzal went the first 5 games of the year without a point, so his 35 points are in his last 31 games. He now has a 5 point game, a hattrick, scored on his first shootout attempt. And Boeser's % of goals scored compared to the rest of the team speaks for itself. For the supporting cast argument, you can easily argue that Eberle and Ladd weren't doing anything for the Islanders until they got put on a line with Barzal. So I dunno who's supporting who. Both guys look like they'll end up with more points than Matthews/Laine had last year. Will be interesting to see if Boeser can hit 40 goals and Barzal leads all rookies in points and perhaps gets into the 90 point range, who they give the trophy to. Probably McAvoy lol.
