Brockstar!!!

That toe-drag and then the snipe through the shin-pads of Roman Josi to beat Rinne has to be the goal of the year for Boeser.....you just can't teach that.....officially the NHL 'rookie of the month' for November.....scary thing around the league is that he's only going to get better.

its his first real season with the NHL, now imagine he improves his skating like horvat did...

A lot of boesers game reminds me of laine. A more cerebral smaller laine.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

The logic on the main board is pretty funny
When a young player like Laine/Mathews is scoring at PPG, it's them living up to their hype +how incredible they are.
When Boeser does it, its fluke and overhyped.
Why? Because Boeser is not a top 3 pick and hasn't been pumped by the main stream media.
It's all about pedigree even on the internet

boeser gets his shot off slightly faster than him too.

Boeser saved my life and my marriage.

heh, remember that tool bag Matt Murray?

Yeah it's all fluke, all of it. BB was just lucky that's all.

Inversely, I feel like he'll get a boost from the media in Calder Trophy discussion because he's American. Might be totally off my rocker there...

I personally see a young Parise in Boeser.

Brett Hull for mine. Similar strengths, weaknesses, style.

its ok.
They're all just salty.

You know when the last time people got all worked up about Canucks players being good? 2011.
This is a good sign we're starting to pick back up again.

Id keep Boeser and wouldnt trade him one for one for Laine

I've seen a ton of media about Brock. Canadian media to be fair.

2 reasons about the mainboard.
First is cuzz Canucks.
Second is because the horde of fans from our neck of the woods that make mainboard threads and posts ad nauseum.

Boeser ran over my dog and killed him..... but got out of the car and brought him back to life.

Initially, I laughed too. But on closer inspection, maybe it's not that laughable. Boeser is actually out-producing Laine right now.

 

[iFan]

I never expected Boeser to be this good, having him doing what he’s doing and Pettersson killing it, it just doesn’t feel like Canucks prospects...

I was joking about this earlier but it's starting to look real.

Yeah looked like he was slumping after the Islanders game and then out a nowhere wired that 1-1 goal top shelf. Im impressed with his consistency and was kinda expecting a bigger slump there

Jonathan Dahlen having an impressive year as well.

Who
The f***
Cares?

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

i think i originally expected him to score around 15G -15/20A and he's already there pretty much....damn

 

[VanJack]

The thing that impresses me about Boeser is how many of these goals he's basically generating on his own.....that sweet pass from Goldobin in the Nashville game and his finish is more of an outlier.....that first snipe which he basically generated with a sweet dangle and shot is more typical of what we've been seeing.....just didn't see him being able to do that to NHL players like Josi.

Might be dating myself here but does anyone think Mike Bossy?

2011-12 Hodgson (Jan 2012).
2010-11 Grabner (Feb 2011) - heh, as a Fishstick...

I remember when Jason King was rookie of the month in November. Good times.
