Bo Knows Hockey

Brynas is playing Linkopings in the first round of the SHL playoffs and the first game was today. Boqvist started the game on what was listed as the fourth line, but by the end of the game the trio was playing as much as anyone, and playing well. Boqvist was solid once again…I’ve never seen him play a poor game. He competed hard, isn’t afraid to get his nose dirty versus men as he threw a few hits and went to the scoring areas. He scored a goal in the crease…a rebound came out, he did a spinarama to avoid the defenceman and backhanded the loose puck in as he spun around….a very smart and skilled play. He was effective on the forecheck and created a few scoring chances while also coming quite close to potting his second goal in the third period. He will be a dangerous player in the SHL as soon as next season..I would suspect staying at least one more year in Sweden would do him good as he needs to get stronger, and there should be little concern about him not being an SHL regular.
