Boeser's shot is looking lethal as f***. Gives the goalie very little time to think or read.

Not Kucherov level yet but still, very impressive.

Good point, but people seem to be taking Murray's comments a little too close to heart.

Of course a goaltender would say the opposing players got lucky... That's what I would want my goaltenders attitude to be too.

I agree, beats asking for his tires to be pumped.

How good can Boeser be? He's on a 40 goal, 80+ point pace after 20 games in his rookie season. And the eye test shows those points and goals didn't come by fluke. I think he may regress a little in the back half of the season, but what can he do in his prime years? Can he reach 50 goals? 100 points?

I’m thinking he’s going to slow down somewhat But a 25-30 goal, 45-50 point rookie season would be fantastic . We gotta remember that he hasn’t gone through an entire season yet in the NHL and it is really taxing as the seasons ramps up later on.

Wow. Sedins and Virtanen are horrid. 0 creativity and offence.

Can’t blame coach TG for not playing them much.

No, it’s the game day. Happy to help you if you’re lost.

I'm fine thanks but I question why you insist on steering the conversation towards slagging management.
I support the team and don't care much about management one way or the other.

Not enough tire pumping

Especially as it’s been a pattern for NCAA guys to slow down given the college season is much shorter.

Virtanen is playing fine but playing with two guys who are way passed their prime. I was the biggest Virtanen basher here and Im sure Roony can confirm that but hes played pretty good imo this year so far
