Even in the player year end pressers a lot of players mentioned everyone needs to come into camp in shape. And Tocchet did as well. Sounds like there’s a few guys that need to step it up.
Let’s hope this becomes another teams problem.
He keeps getting injured during training camp so it’s not really a surprise he’s doing something wrong/not doing enough. It’s a shame that no one noticed this before Tocchet called out the players preparation, the guy has been on the team for 5 years.
No more Da Beauty League please. It’s obviously low-tempo shinny/pond hockey and I really can’t see how playing in games like that helps him improve in the NHL. I’m speaking out of my ass but I wouldn’t be shocked if the league created bad habits too since it’s nowhere close to NHL-level play.
If Brock can regain some power on his shot and improve his skating it will do wonders for his value. Worst case, you can probably move him for value when he’s a pending UFA
Brock’s about to cut the lake life short this summer..
Yea I imagine hanging out on the lake wakeboarding and drinking beers is not the greatest for conditioning. I totally understand the appeal though. I have one season of faith left in Boeser. He has so much potential to be a great player for us.
His dad literally died this off-season I think it’s fair to say he needs to do more but we also should be a little more sympathetic to that I think.
You mean the Big Country Reeves routine of relaxing and eating all summer isn’t enough for a professional athlete???
And it’s not just Boeser – pretty much the entire team needs to start taking things a bit more seriously. It’s getting ridiculous.
Can Quinn please just invite him to train with him for a few weeks. Idk how all that stuff works like if you have to be involved with the USNTDP or not, but if he can put up with Zegras in the house for weeks on end then surely he’d be happy to have Brock around as well
This article just reminds me of every former teammate that acknowledged the Sedins were 1 and 2 in fitness testing every year of their prime. It was a measuring stick for the rest of the team and it fuelled a culture that the highest paid players are also the hardest workers.
The part about Brock’s game that drives me crazy is on the breakouts he refuses to skate the puck off the half wall on the exit. I see him reverse course far to often and feed it back to the defence that were already under pressure from the fore checkers.
I am guessing this is more or less a shot at Da beauty league. And as much as I love Boeser, I don’t think he should really partake in it anymore. His injuries haven’t really been a issue of poor preparation.
But it definitely seemed like at points this season his conditioning wasn’t up to snuff. Foot speed isn’t bad, not good either. But he seems to have one good burst in him, then he’s toast. Last summer I give him a pass, he had a major family tragedy. But I think he needs to focus hard on his offseason training this year. Pass on the Da beauty league Boeser. I believe in you.
I’m happy we have guys who are willing to take criticism to get better, and now we also have someone who is willing to dish it out.
Lol and people on here calling us full of shit when we suggested that Boeser hasn’t been putting in pro level training in the offseason
