His passing game and his two way ability have grown leaps and bounds since he was a rookie. Good points. He's been pretty good along the boards as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverHabitant Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Boeser suffers from the same type of play as Pearson. They are effective but their style of play doesn't look impressive to the naked eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reported JT MIller's hat trick as a "natural hat trick". Only problem is - the Jets scored the tying goal (1-1) before Miller had his second goal, so it's not really a natural hat trick. I'm surprised that John Garrett didn't jump all over him about it. It’s not quite the same, but I find Shorty often/increasingly says stuff that was obviously not what happened. ‘Yeah, slap-pass from Hughes to Pearson for his second of the night!’ I’m sitting there sure I saw a direct shot go in, when in fact it deflected off the D’s shin pad but in either case was never anywhere near Pearson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Are Shorty and Cheech even in the rink, while calling these games? seems like sometimes they are, and others they aren't. I'd guess they do home games in person, and away games via watching multiple screens in a studio somewhere? I'd like them to declare every game if they are there in person, or not. Kind of like the kerfuffle between I Mac and Sekeres- when I Mac was in the studio in Toronto- but it was being passed off like he was at the game.

He'll get that after showing so well. 11 hours ago, sockeye said: His current NHL salary is $800,00 according to spotrac. His contract expires June 2022. I expect that his agent will be receiving several competitive offers but I hope we can sign him as he would be a good backup option for Demko. I doubt very much, from his 3 NHL games against some of the best teams, he will sign for the league minimum (it would be great but I doubt it). I think you guys are jumping the gun a bit. It's only 3 games, and he's only won one NHL game at 26 years of age. He'll be back in the AHL soon so we'll see what the rest of his year looks like first. Although he played pretty well and stopped a lot of shots his technique is pretty shaky. Lots of rebounds, goalmouth scrambles and laying on there ground with no stick. I'm not so sure he's getting a bump in salary or a 2 year one way contract. 2 hours ago, Putgolzin said: It’s not quite the same, but I find Shorty often/increasingly says stuff that was obviously not what happened. ‘Yeah, slap-pass from Hughes to Pearson for his second of the night!’ I’m sitting there sure I saw a direct shot go in, when in fact it deflected off the D’s shin pad but in either case was never anywhere near Pearson. Yeah I notice this all the time too. I find Garrett is way worse as well. Him I blame it on being a goalie. He seems to have no perspective from the shooter's angle, or he's too busy blabbing about something else to really care. I don't think Shorthouse played hockey. It doesn't really matter to me as I still like them. I do find it funny though how they miss such obvious stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hits and skating speed are related. You can't hit if you are slow. He doesn't have the speed yet and maybe he will never have that top speed, but that doesn't mean he should be paid the league minimum like some posters seem to think. He does a lot of things well despite his weaknesses. I'm not against trading Boeser but we are not getting a player that shoots as well as he does while having his shot unless it's for a prospect.

Kind of like the kerfuffle between I Mac and Sekeres- when I Mac was in the studio in Toronto- but it was being passed off like he was at the game. They sometimes do declare it, and make mention of it during the game as well - for example, when they quip, "It's kind of hard to tell when you're thousands of kilometers away." It seems like the away games they call from Vancouver are the ones that are in the States, and some of the eastern ones where Sportsnet has their own local crew operating in the rink (for example, they were the crew in the 'peg, because SNWest was busy in Albertastan).
