I actually like Petey and Boeser’s compete level, Topic Avoidance Officer, I don’t worry about those two regarding winning attitude. They bring it. Is that what you were looking for, Chief?
lol, ask you a simple question to get your opinion on the matter because, honestly, I have no idea because I have seen them play for 20 fucking minutes of their careers and I get sarcasm and name calling in return.

If I did not respect your opinion I wouldn't have asked.

Next time I won't.

In years past, there has been fire in Pettersson's play and attitude. You could see him on the bench being far harder on himself for mistakes than coaches could ever be. It is something I haven't seen from him this season.

As someone noted the other day, when ever he lost a puck battle in the past, he fought like mad to make amends. He had this odd spin move while falling that he used effectively.

Boesser has never been overly noticeable away from the puck, but if you look for him, he is more often than not in position and has improved that aspect substantially. Definitely more low key, but has a fucking rocket of a shot.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Sorry Donny, I’m getting old and cranky like Doyle

Boeser was Vancouver’s best forward last year

Petey missed 30 games, not worried about him or Boeser. Petey will get ‘er sorted

10-4 Dude...appreciate the intel.

Looking forward to seeing both of them step it up then.

Hughes I noticed some special in the other night already.

Those 2 not so much (yet).

I liked what I saw of the Russian and the little Swedish tank as well.

And the goalie.

We've got some pieces for sure.

Donny, I think Doyle is very stressed and worried about his LA Kings

Boeser moves in a lackadaisical manner. It's frustrating but he's got one of the slickest wristers I've ever seen. Unfortunately his ability to get it off waxes and wanes with unpredictable regularity for some unknown reason

It's only a matter of time before Boeser finds his groove again. Looking forward to see him and Podkolzin on the same line if they stay with what was practiced today. As for the power-play, Brock is a shooter. The coach has had him as the net front presence and that seems odd considering the shot he possesses.

What about Bo’s terrible VO2 max? He crashes early on shifts, barely makes it back to the bench

Chef you better kick in those adjustments pretty quick. Dude is a very good dman
I guess the Chef didn’t see this post. He disagreed vehemently with me when I said Byram would end up being a top pairing d man.
