He may not win it. We aren’t even at mile 10 in this marathon.

He has goals in four straight. It won’t always be like this.

But for a breath, on the eve of US Thanksgiving, Boeser was definitively the Calder frontrunner.

It doesn’t matter what was said on the broadcast.

Even Friedman will come around.

The Calder is almost always a points race. Boeser has more and he’s done it in fewer games.

Keller has been consistently excellent and productive. He’s also been helpless.

Not a thing he’s done has made a lick of difference.

Boeser, however, has brought to life one of the worst teams in hockey. He is saving a power play that wasn’t just bad last year, it was the second worst in hockey for five collective NHL seasons.

He is giving a beaten, bruised, wilted hockey market hope. It’s still only a whisper of better days ahead. But it’s a whisper which wasn’t there even two months ago.
