Brock is still developing his game. He is bigger, and playing a more physical game. He has been delivering some solid hits this year. I am happy with how he is developing. He is growing into a playoff type player.

Is he carrying more weight this season? Might explain his noticeable lack of foot speed

Another scenario might be that he has adjusted his game due to coaching and just isnt in the same places where he normally would find success and/or the time and space to get those sweet looks

I think I might be parking Nugent Hopkins and Tyson Jost in that “Once Ballyhooed B.C. Hockey Players who ended up Stinking” Club
Hail the Americans!!!

I remember the first year I had to wait for the slow-mo to see his shot go in.
Love to see two 40 goal scorers on the same line. Awesome that would be. It's possible. Next year.

2020 is a leap year. There is a February 29th. On that day, I would like love demand, the Canucks throw up 14 goals
and hold their very blue opponents to 0.

Nuge, such a scrub. Pretty much a lock for 60 points while playing a strong two way game and dragging his wingers around.

This is what happens kids when you don’t grow up playing team sports; you fail to understand them.

Merry Christmas Chef. Maybe lay off the screech a bit. :?

Up until a week ago Boeser was playing the best two way hockey of his career, he's not been as aggressive on the forecheck of late but that could just be a change of sides for the dump in as Miller/Virtanen have increased their roles on the forecheck.

There was one play last night that he held the puck, moved further outside to shoot and I thought he'd made a poor decision but on replay from another angle he was side stepping a downed shot blocker.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Nuge is a first overall pick. 7 goals 13 assists. The 2nd worst 1st overall pick in the last decade after Yakupov, although I’m hsving concerns with Hischier at the moment, he could challenge the Nuge for that honour.I’d have no complaints of him if he was a 2nd round pick

He’s definitely not a great 1st overall pick but he isn’t a scrub and he doesn’t stink. Next. :lol:

What is wrong with Boeser?

He hasnt looked like the same player this season at all. Hes a step slower, weaker on pucks and is taking forever to get his usually fast shot off.

Is there an injury? Is he serving his sophmore slump season now? Is it the willy nylander effect?

Something isnt right with him
He is second in scoring and is a 200 foot game all the time. What do you want?

1st overall RNH reminds me of 2nd rounder Brendan Morrison.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
