Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser shared his thoughts following the team’s dominant 8-1 preseason victory over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. The Canucks took control early, scoring four goals in the first period. Seven different players contributed to the scoresheet, and despite it being a preseason game, the performance marked the Canucks’ strongest showing of the preseason. After the game, Boeser said that the win should boost the team’s confidence:"It should give us a lot of confidence. I think it shows that when we put the effort in and the determination, I think it really shows what we can do and the chances we can create out there. So, I think it was a step in the right direction, and we got to build off it now."Brock Boeser signed a seven-year, $50.75 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks in July.
