'[Boeser's] scored some big goals for us. It’s a tough one. But next man up. That’s the way we’ve got to approach it, like we have all year.'
On Sunday, the Vancouver Canucks got devastating news. Their leading scorer, Brock Boeser, will miss Game 7 with a blood clot in his leg and is unlikely to return in the postseason.
“He had a great year for us, he’s a big part of the team,” said Rick Tocchet. “He’s scored some big goals for us. It’s a tough one. But next man up. That’s the way we’ve got to approach it, like we have all year.” Tocchet suggested that it will take a group effort and may require a variety of line combinations throughout the game to match up against McDavid.
It would be a shame to break up the Höglander - Lindholm - Pettersson line that has been so effective the last couple of games, with Lindholm and Höglander having near misses in Game 5, then Höglander scoring in Game 6. With Boeser out, however, the Canucks need someone to step up and play with Miller — Pettersson is the only other legitimate top-line winger available.
