[Baby Pettersson]

Win a cup with the Nucks.

It needs to be acknowledged but Boeser is sole record holder of most goals by freshman on UND, previously held by Zach Parise.

Nope. Troy Murray had 33 in 38 games in 1980-81.

Hmm, maybe there is some kind of cutoff?

it's like comparing the 80s to the DPE

 

[Icebreakers]

Hopefully Boeser doesnt pull a Cassels and has a championship hangover...

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Best season for a Canucks prospect since Hodgson.

Boeser's season > Hodgson.

 

[Bad News Benning]

great effort even when up 5-1. dived to poke the puck over to Sanderson for a semi breakaway.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Imagine we draft Matthews/Laine and then Boeser signs. Next year might actually be worth watching.

I believe in the NCHC

Brock Boeser
Our boy the champion

 

[WTG]

Game winning championship goal

 

[clunk]

It's even more amazing when you know that this kid is doing this against grown men up to 24 years old. He is going to be VERY special. He's not going to be another Hodgson or Schroeder. He's got that special something.

Hodgsons ass is in the AHL.
**** him.

 

[Hyzer]

does the NCAA have best player in the finals award?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Hodgsons ass is in the AHL.
**** him.

His post draft season was incredible though.

 

[CanaFan]

His post draft season was incredible though.

Yes and no. It was quite good but a bit overrated in hindsight. Had a 1.74 PPG which isn't overly high for D+1, plus feasted on PP with Duchene and Grachev. A guy like Dal Colle destroyed that in his D+1 and garnered none of the accolades. Probably a function of a weak year in O plus his "intangibles (leadership, faceoffs, hard worker, etc). Not as good as it was made out to be I think (in hindsight).

Huh? Anyway you cut it, what you said doesn't make sense. The NCHC began in 2013. Parise never played in the NCHC because it never existed when he was in College (2002-2004). North Dakota at that time was in the WCHA.

Boeser's season > Hodgson.

Short memories. Boeser's season is without a doubt impressive but i think you guys are forgetting just how great Hodgson's draft+1 was and the hype around him that year. Hodgson was CHL player of the year, won all awards imaginable in the OHL, played a huge role in Team Canada Gold at the WJC.
