“Edmonton advances” “Canucks might be cooked”: NHL fans react to Brock Boeser missing Canucks vs Oilers Game 7 due to blood clot issue
Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser has been ruled out of Game 7 versus the Edmonton Oilers due to a blood clotting problem. Thus, the majority of fans believe the Oilers will win the deciding contest.
The Canucks will miss Boeser, who leads the team in scoring, with seven goals and five assists in 12 playoff games.
The unexpected news has set off a wave of fan reactions. Here is a look at some not-so-optimistic thoughts heading into Monday night’s winner-take-all matchup:
A fan made their prediction known:
Another fan chimed in:
However, not all comments focused on the game. Plenty of Oilers fans shared good thoughts, wishing Brock Boeser well and a speedy recovery.
This fan conveyed their good wishes on behalf of all Oilers fans:
“From every Oilers fan to Brock Boeser, we’re hoping for the absolute best for him one of the classiest guys in the league, wanted to see him battle in game 7.”
Here’s another Oilers fan wishing Boeser well:
“As an Oilers fan and despite the behavior of some Canucks fans during this series, I hope he is well and wish him a full and healthy recovery. Blood clots are no joke.”
Another Oilers fan put hockey rivalry aside to send good wishes Boeser’s way:
“Hockey and rivalry aside, as an Oilers fan I hope nothing but a speedy recovery and good health for Brock.”
The Vancouver Canucks will face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. The winner will advance to face the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals. The Canucks would hope to advance and have their leading scorer back in the lineup.
Timetable for Brock Boeser’s return unknown
The sudden news of Brock Boeser’s blood clotting issues has sent shockwaves throughout the NHL.
However, Bleacher Report reported insider Elliotte Friedman’s comments regarding Boeser’s health situation. Friedman said:
“It is not considered a life-threatening situation.”
Friedman went on to note that a timeline for Boeser’s return is unknown.
Boeser’s absence leaves a gaping hole in the Canucks’ lineup, which has also been without Ilya Mikheyev for the last two games.
The Canucks will rely on their depth, namely wingers Sam Lafferty and Conor Garland, to pick up the slack. Additionally, stars such as Elias Pettersson will hopefully find inspiration as the Canucks’ season hangs in the balance.
The Canucks hope to extend their playoff run long enough to have Boeser rejoin the team’s quest for its first Stanley Cup.
