Captkirk888 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 10 minutes ago, Hammertime said: I hope youre right. But Ill agree to diasgree. IMO he will regress back to somewhere in the middle 25-30g 55-60 points. By all means not terrible but not the player we all see the potential for him to be. You could be right too, but the glass half full in me hopes for the 30+/70+ player. Time will tell I guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 46 minutes ago, Hammertime said: I do. With respect youre seeing what you want to see. Or maybe youre dislexic and mistaking a 6 for a 9. Boeser has been good this year in nearly all areas. Yes his shooting percentage is abnormally high and he's probably not going to get this many goals every year, but he's very obviously making more of an effort on the forecheck and backcheck, he's winning his share of board battles, and he's making some nice passes. I've watched most games this year and he's been a net positive in most of them. He's fully earning his contract this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I have a feelings Bains is going to surprise us next to Miller/Boeser. I think it will reignite those two as well. Suter-Bluegar-Garland should look deadly as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would genuinely cut together a highlight package for you if I didn't do everything on my phone. I see boeser making excellent defensive plays every single night.

While I agree he's playing more interested. He's 6'1 210 it's not like he's a 2nd Miller out there. Acting like he's turned this power/2way/dog on a bone part of his game into a strength is false.

I'm not going to create a low light's package. I love Brock. I got a the flow T shirt from his rook season dudes a beauty. I'm just trying to bring some reality. He's been better/ more interested for Brock it's not like he's burying guys on the boards and hard on pucks. there is a small amount of improvment from last year in the non scoring part of the game.

The couple years previous to this, Brock played like crap and I recognized that. I'm not his biggest fan but he has noticeably improved in almost all areas. I think it's obvious his head is in a better place and he put in the work over the off-season. I'm not claiming he's a Patrice Bergeron out there or anything, but he is not hurting this team defensively and is providing some nice offense. I don't see anyone claiming he's become some kind of superstar, just that he's a good player that's found a nice fit and is earning his salary this year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 1 hour ago, JayDangles said: Kind of. I'm not sure what it is about 4th line guys that seem to only play well in that role once every 3-4 games. Lafferty has speed and can definitely lay the body, but he only seems to have energy every couple of games. I guess Aman is reliable defensively, but he brings absolutely no additional skill or physicality to the 4th line. PDG, man he took a big step back this year. I know he was moved off the 2nd line early on, but it was because he wasn't producing at all. If we had a grinder 4th line this team would look completely different. Everyone always looks at players in the system and projects guys as top 4 D, top 6 winger etc. and we focus on developing those players. Then we say that 4th line guys are a dime a dozen, we can just get those in free agency. Yet every year we seem to be short on this type of player. I wonder if more emphasis should be put on developing role type players, not always trying to maximize a players scoring ability, but rather their energy, forecheck, aggression etc. Just some thoughts Solid thoughts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty impressed with his first game as you can tell he's got great awareness. Here's hoping he's able to bury one of his chances today cause you know he'll get one playing with Miller and Boeser! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
