Unlikely for Boeser but.... He won rookie of the month in a November years ago while playing with the Twins. (Reid Boucher may be a current comparable) He didn't have the pedigree of Boeser (so I don't think expectations were as high), but it is still a lesson of being careful with expectations. I'd agree that Boeser isn't likely to be a flavour of the month, but he's due for a stretch where the puck doesn't seem to go in as easily. So far he's shown that he can distribute the puck when he's not getting goals and that's a great sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal preference. Right now, I'm just enjoying the ride. regards, G. He's actually in 20th among players with 14 or more games in points-per-game. Still, you make a good point. Many players have started off hot, so let's be patient and not call him a superstar just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not really fair to compare Boeser to someone like that. I mean how many guys are similar to Bure aside from McDavid? Boeser reminds me of a bigger version of Naslund and I could see him getting 40 goals at some point in his career with the way he shoots. Pair him with a player like Pettersson who has elite playmaking abilities and the sky is the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far he's shown that he can distribute the puck when he's not getting goals and that's a great sign. Boeser has the ability to score goals and also has great playmaking ability. His hockey IQ is off the charts so he is in a different planet in terms of skills as compared to King who was playing with the Sedins in their prime. I would say Boeser can still get points just through his playmaking ability if the pucks don't start going for him in the net which would be rare because of how hard and accurate his shots are. So I don't see any long stretches where he doesn't get any points like Horvat had because I think he is a better player and has a higher IQ. He is probably one of the main reasons also why our 1st line is so successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you factor in ice time, he's probably already top-ten in the entire NHL in points per minute played. If he can keep this pace up all year, he's going to be a lock for the Calder. And if he can improve even a little, many people, even those who aren't Canucks fans, will be calling him a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeygod77 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Brock was welcomed by the orcas early in the season. Like i said the guys who go out on the beautiful pacific ocean where the hockey orcas live they bless them with british columbia skills and power..look at dorsett sven bert markstrom and brock...they all have been out there...jim banning green all fish for kids and this act has bless them to excel in hockey....the west coast has the air and atmosphere that gives hockey players the gift you need..it works but not all times..just like the orcas they will keep on competing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made Horvat a better player so why not him. You think that ever player doesn't try that? For some people, they just can't increase their speed much more then where they are. Horvat is a rare case where he made a majour improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 4 goals in back to back games is a good sign. i beileve he is the real deal and i hope pettersson can only find more openings for him. so amped for this young man. 18 yr old sam bennett can step to the side. clayton who?
