I was against the Boeser trade, always rooted for the guy. What a terrific human being. Phenomenal player but the prom, his grandma, his sister, his dad, his pups. He can do no wrong. Humble and Kind

[@Sam-2468]

Agreed.Not only that but I knew he was gonna bounce back. Really dumb trading a player at their lowest value

[@Taraclellandjones]

I agree and look at him and Mills now!

[@kdiggity1]

What an incredibly humble human being.

[@LockedOnCanucks]

I was wrong about Brock. Guys played such an all around game. Is intense along the boards. Never gives up on a play. What a surprise. We blessed.

[@IanStrain23328]

Yeah whatever he did in the offseason with the new training coach that was recommended by Tocc, he looks alot better than the past couple years

[@rootofevil777]

Haha, came to write same thing, like Brock will read it!! I was wrong Boeser. My bad.

[@MajorCanada]

Miller and Boeser might just be two of the most prolific and successful board battlers that are also offensive powerhouses. I've seen Stamkos and Mark Stone battle on the boards like that, but maybe never 2 people of this calibre on the same line.

[@rootofevil777]

@@MajorCanadainteresting take. Stone is a beast too. Not worse company to fall in with!

[@matthewsmith2237]

@@MajorCanadai think hoglander could (key word could) also wind up at that level one day. Dudes fighting every game he plays and if he gets more minutes he could be deadly

[@wc123]

Not a Vancouver fan but definitely always root for this dude. Seems like a great guy.

[@KellyPettit]

Stand up guy through and through. Proud he wears the Canucks logo. Brought a tear to my eye.

[@christhornycroft3686]

I’ve been rooting for him since his rookie year, especially after that prom date special. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy. Hopefully he scores 40 and puts the naysayers to rest.

[@PrepSail]

This guy is a total stand up amazing person. What an amazing story. And now showing the world what a talent he is on the ice. The Canucks have some incredible American stud players.

[@farmerbill5079]

Anyone else hold back a tear when they played the prom story. Brock is a beauty!

[@PrepSail]

Unreal level of consideration, modesty and selflessness. Just pure, raw, class.

[@JeremyCuddles]

I been a Brock defender for years now. It's really nice to see him in a better place. The guy has always radiated class, I definitely teared up watching that clip of Baylee. I am really hoping we keep him his whole career. But with this management group. Somehow I doubt it.

[@BikJTube]

We love you too!, I lost my dad @ 26 and took me yrs to recover1 You're a soldier and a true Canuck!

[@trodg]

Im so glad brock is still with the canucks. Hes an amazing player and an even better person.

[@sniperovski]

That slapper against SJS was one of the best sounding/looking shots of all time 💣

[@danceswithcritters]

Can you link the vid?

[@omfg322]

It amazed me how much the fan base turned on him when he had a back injury then a wrist injury and then death of family members and came to the conclusion that hes a bust trade him. Any player will go through a slump when a slew of bad events happen to them you guys have to give him a full season of being healthy both physically and emotionally.

[@matthewsmith2237]

Yeah I never understood that. I honestly only wanted him out when it looked like the team was bad and holding him back as a player. He’s deserving of this type of season

[@FEDD]

Canucks have lots of uninformed fans that use NHL 23 to determine player value and trades.

[@shawnreems493]

Dude is like top 3 in his draft for points in the NHL as well.

[@jonathonrobinson7646]

What a very humble and kind player Brock is, proud to say that I never said he should be traded

[@flaremasaki96]

you can tell he is beaming with confidence and it is so good to see him smile

[@danreed2189]

I don't care how many goals Brock scores this year. The last few games, it's the passing that has really caught my eye. It's having the hockey IQ, the confidence, as well as skill to make the best decisions that lead to goals that distinguish great players. I can see him doing that more and more consistently. I think he's turning into a great player along with already being a great human being. Also, Scott and Dave do such a great job with interviews. They make their guests feel really comfortable. These are really enjoyable segments.

[@bryani.]

Yup, his passing was a big part of what made petey/boeser so amazing the first year they played together

[@mattburdock6899]

This is a real hockey player !! The heart this man has for people and the game are truly amazing!! I bought your jersey your rookie year and never gave up on you ! Show the world what your really made of brockstar

[@JaaySnipes]

I've been rooting for brock since last year when things weren't going well. So happy for him. Vancouver loves u bud

[@Pookiebear]

So happy hes feeling more comfortable again and hes having a grest yesr so far 😊

[@talesofsymphonia295]

I honestly thought Brock would be the odd man out from the plethora of wingers we had in the off-season, but oh boy am I glad we kept him. I've always wanted things to work out for Brock, ever since his rookie year and I'm so glad things are finally starting to line up for him. Go Canucks Go!

[@didjano]

God I love Brock so much dude

[@sportsnet]

Same 😂

[@OhCanada-wk3kl]

My sincere congratulations to Boeser on a turnaround season! He is becoming the player and goal-scorer all of the Canuck fans hoped he would become when he was drafted. There is nothing more satisfying and inspiring than seeing a player or individual start to rise to their utmost potential.

[@erikwsince1981]

Great hockey player. And even greater person!

[@hockeycollective]

Seriously one of the best dudes going. Amazing episode

[@jazzzzzzzzzy]

Awesome to see brock having the year he's having. Guy has always worked hard and got through some tough years with us both on and off the ice.

[@TannerA4]

How can you not like this guy! Such a beauty, we are so lucky in Vancouver

[@andrewgraham2697]

What a great guy on and off the ice, I’m beyond happy they kept him. Great to see him having a career year he deserves it!

[@mj10roy51]

Please stay healthy Brock 🙏. This is your year !

[@Bluemander]

Vancouver loves you Brock! 💯🔥

[@Mandsfoo]

When he says that a big part of his improved performance is a mental reset/health and the commentators just talk about training camp... So proud to see how he persevered through tough times and how he worked on his mental health 👏

[@delluhlerenaud2349]

Just goes to show just how clueless some people can be about how mindset can make/break you. This need to be talked about so much more.

[@ATGAT]

What a legend. Thanks for doing this interview.

[@MasterslayerG]

Glad your here man. Your the bomb Brock.

[@jeffmill6683]

Losing your dad when he's your best friend is oh so hard on any son. I know my dad was my best friend and being with him his last month of his life was worth losing my business over. I would give everything I have for just one more day with him today.

[@lilkrak]

Brocktember is in full swing!!

[@elvicare35]

BrockCember... I was thinking about what to call it earlier?!!!!

[@bshoulder]

I have always been rooting for Brock Boeser… he may not be the most outspoken person, but what a kind soul that he is… hope he will continue to play well and feel good.

[@adamlee007]

Ty brock!!!! Keep it goin!!!

[@phantoms29]

Always been a huge fan of Brock, less the player and more the human being. This season it has filled me with pride to see him put it all together on the ice. I don't play the game but I would love to have Brock as my team mate any day.

[@adrianpoesiat]

Can’t believe he’s in his 8th year with the team. Now the vet at 25

[@25KW91]

We love you Brock. You were my calder winner! Forever a Canuck!

[@the1travisb]

World needs more Brock Boesers…

[@andrewholland7712]

My favorite Canuck. Kind classy and a good soul. I'm so Happy for his turnaround ..Go Canucks 😊

[@heyitstay24]

So glad he is still here 🩵

[@benedicthamstring2866]

as a Canuck fan, I'm so happy he's ours. As a human, I'm so happy he's everyones.

[@COAS16]

Terrific player, terrific person.

[@rhondawilliamson72]

I'm new to the hockey world and when I saw the prom sorry, I thought what a humble, kind, caring man, why isn't he married? He would be every mother-in-law's dream son. Plus I've been enjoying watching all the games and really getting into it. He is one of my favorites. Keep up the good work Brock stay humble and my daughter is still single. lol

[@nicholaslouie7590]

I’ve been a fan of Boeser since the Canucks drafted him. He’s an incredible human being.

I liked how they started asking him about Ohtani and where he was going.😂😂😂😂

Let’s go Brock. We’re all pulling for you!!

[@Clerence999]

I'm so happy that brock didn't get traded. not that i hope that he should be away from his family during dire times, but i love him in canucks uniform

[@skoal91]

Great guest to have on and he sounds like a great person. Glad they didn't end up trading him for nothing.

[@user-cy8zy5lo6s]

31 teams looking stupid for not getting this guy on the cheap when Vancouver was trying to dump contracts

[@robdedrick2052]

Brock is the Kindest Gentlemen I can think of Since 1970 .

[@rrk1008]

I’ve become a fan for life.

[@user-kt8kr4cu4h]

brock is definitely the top 3 in the canucks rn

[@samueladams5243]

ive been saying since last year when he was struggling (understandably) but everyone was focused on his inability to score. but if you look back on his first season when he had so much success, it was actually the fact he was knocking so many pucks down and forcing turnovers constantly, and those plays were creating a ton of his offence

[@adamlee007]

Close the door Jake!!!

[@Kinesicz]

Beauty.

[@dandee3667]

Where can I get the hoodie he's wearing?

[@ToyMakerprops]

It's your turn to be healthy, happy, and confident brock

[@Futballplayer]

Fantastic person, can't not love the guy!

[@MahnoorAfridi-ll1rd]

North Dakota, while he was there, hurt hard in their league

[@gnarrrrrrrrrrrr]

good guy

[@richardbui8416]

I hate myself for wanting to trade him. He's a stud on and off the ice

[@RobDucharme]

3:15 Whoever is with Boeser this next off season for training, Kuzmenko needs to be dropped into that program and not Bali. 4:28 That's news to me, and wow, what a leader Hughes has been for his own team mates.. There should be no question why he wears the C now. 17:12 I'm kinda mad at myself for thinking we needed to trade Brockstar on and off over the past couple seasons. It was too easy to forget the kind of person he is when he wasn't playing well. Glad he's still a Canuck. 18:51 Is Tomlinson kinda falling apart over there (is he the one sniffing)? Haha.. Great guy.

[@glennred4830]

Glad to see Brock stay on it. Scott missed a chance to highlight the winner of $100,000 as a 100% bonus income, without taxes in Canada, unlike the USA system.

[@shawncordeiro5078]

c'on oak brock handled tragity & triump well on live tv shake the guys hand

[@nomz27]

1:27 that shot crumbled him.

[@mrektion604]

BOESER BOESER BOESER!

[@rootofevil777]

1st to admit (hopefully) when I’m wrong. Sorry Brock. Glad you found your way Keep going!! Do it for you; and do it for Duke! You got this (Like he’ll read it 😂). *put that 💩 out in the universe!

[@lorigray2274]

Bock boser you best of best keep working hard I hope your mom okay my heart go out to your family and keep. Up good jod from Lori gray south surrey bc 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep winner this game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-uv1en6rs7s]

could we stop asking about his dead father, like damn let him move on.

[@danceswithcritters]

lol, woman behind bench in most expensive seats, yawning...

[@MM-ww6yb]

Great guy 👏🏻 best of luck to you Brock Your Father is proud of you

[@Royalrights]

What a stereotypical hockey interview. Get those pucks deep.

[@Lakingsfan140]

These guys have all the time in the world to watch the canucks at 7:30 pm pacific time but don’t have time to watch the kings or any other team cause they jack off to these Canadian teams and it’s embarrassing. These media guys don’t like anyone else but eastern or Canadian teams

[@deceitive3338]

Dude, Sportsnet is the Canadian TV station owned by Rogers that owns the broadcast rights for (most) of the teams in Canada. They will show highlights and have short segments on American teams from time to time if something big happens (like Patrick Kane signing in Detroit for example) but otherwise only focus on the teams they own the rights for. This segment is from the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast that airs across Canada on Saturday's. Dont expect this channel to cover your team, just like we don't expect the American channels like ESPN or the NHL Network (hell even Canadian TSN rarely covers the Canucks) to cover ours, cause they never do either

[@mrsir4274]

Unfortunately someon (probably Van) is going to wildly overpay him for this one season

[@woodywoodlstein9519]

One of the most boring interviews ever. This guy has the personality of lawn mulch
