Brock Boeser shares what caused his blood clotting issue
Brock Boeser was forced to miss the most important game of the season for the Vancouver Canucks, now he explains why.
When the news came that Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser would be unable to play in game 7 it came as a complete surprise. News then began to circulate that his absence was linked to a blood clot issue that was not considered life-threatening. This news struck many as a surprise as there was no noticeable incident that would have led to this issue.
Today at the end of season press conference Boeser addressed the situation and explained what happened leading to his absence. Boeser was emotional before sharing when the injury occurred.
Boeser says a shot block in Game 1 vs EDM led to a bruise that caused some complications and led to clotting issue
This information should help shutdown some of the narratives that were shared after Boeser's injury was announced. Boeser is hoping to be healthy and ready to go for next season.
If the blood clotting issue wasn't enough for Boeser, he also suffered a broken finger in practice ahead of Game 3.
