Boeser needs some serious help on how to move the puck along the boards in his own zone. He’s done it on many occasions where he’s scared+trapped and he brings the puck BACK to the defence below the goal line. That must drive the coaches nuts, it certainly drives me nuts. Never bring the puck back unless you’re 100% - you always want to bring the puck forward - chip it off the boards out of zone if you have no play. Bringing the puck back leads to getting hemmed in your own zone and creates scoring chances for other team.
i wonder if he has an injury.
he's also shy on ozone entries and bails on possession too quickly under pressure, although his passing ability compensates. it is odd because he will stand in front of the net and also mix it up somewhat behind the net but overall his willingness to get physical is inversely proportionate to the distance from a scoring position.
