![Serious health problems: Brock Boeser to be absent indefinitely](https://dose.ca/app/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-2153704123.jpg)
Elliotte Friedman followed up with the reasons behind his absence and the news isn’t good in his case.

He has blood clot issues. It’s something very serious, but Friedman reported that his life is not at stake, which is excellent news under the circumstances.
Boeser is enjoying the best year of his career. After racking up 73 points in the regular season, he’s followed that up with 12 points including 7 goals in the playoffs so far.
We’ll see the impact of his absence tomorrow. Vancouver has shown resilience since the start of the playoffs, notably losing their #1 goaltender Thatcher Demko. The “next man up” mentality has worked, and Arturs Silovs has been excellent ever since.
The Canucks’ response will be interesting tomorrow, but if Edmonton manages to take an early lead, it could get very complicated.
Highlights
– A lot of class.
Bryson DeChambeau was asked what has contributed to his recent success on the course & he said, “A lot more time. Having a lot more time back at home to work on my game.” So yes, the LIV schedule (which allows that time) can prepare these guys for majors. #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/Fwv4C2L9jt

– Everything is in place for a great game.
“We have an advantage, Game 7 at home with a crowd like this. I’m sure we’re all going to be energized for tomorrow’s game.”
