Brock Boeser to miss Game 7 of the Oilers Canucks series
The worst possible news hit the Vancouver Canucks organization today as star Brock Boeser will be unavailable against the Edmonton Oilers for game 7.
Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser is expected to miss Game 7 against Edmonton with a blood clotting issue. The exact timeline for his return is unknown, but several sources stressed this, thankfully, is not considered a life-threatening situation. It's a big loss for the Canucks, as Boeser is having an excellent season � leading Vancouver with seven goals and 12 assists in 12 playoff games.
There is equally significant uncertainty around Brock Boeser's long-term future if the Canucks continue in these playoffs.
Brock Boeser will not be available for the Canucks in game seven on Monday. If they advance, his status moving forward is unclear.
Having now gone to game seven with the Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl fuelled Oilers, losing a key player like Brock Boeser is a massive setback that nobody expected. Hopefully the Vancouver Canucks will be able to handle their Canadian rival and move on to the next round. We will see if Brock Boeser's medical issues persist.
