How will Boeser’s absence affect Canucks’ Game 7 lineup?

TSN Canucks reporter Farhan Lalji and TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug join SC with Jay Onrait to discuss how Brock Boeser not playing in Game 7 will affect both the Canucks and Oilers as they look to advance to the Western Conference Final.

The Canucks will have to play their best game of the post season if they want to win. Not having Boeser is a big loss but you still can’t underestimate the Canucks. They’re a dangerous team and if EDM doesn’t take them seriously they could be in trouble.

Hughes - Miller - Pettersson Joshua - Lindholm - Garland Suter - Blueger - Lafferty Hoglander - Aman - Karlsson Soucy - Hronek Zadorov - Myers Cole - Juulsen Fuck it, let’s go crazy. Move Hughes to forward and give the mafia line some play. Put the big guys together and let them crush the opposition. YOLO. lol jk But honestly, I have no idea how we will make this work… We could give Lekkerimaki a shot, but where do you put him?? Can’t be the top line, it’s too much pressure for a young player. Or maybe they just slot Mikheyev in some random spot and watch him stink it all up… Or they could load the top line with Lindholm, Miller and Pettersson, but then we have no depth for the rest of the line up. Chances are we go the safe route and place Lindholm with Joshua and Garland. Leave Suter with Miller and move Petey up. But then our bottom lines seem bare.. The only idea from above I’d actually like to try (and have wanted to for a while) is the Hoglander, Aman, Karlsson line.
