"Got to find that person with the voodoo": Adam Foote in disbelief as Canucks lose latest forward Brock Boeser due to injury in game vs. Blues

Vancouver Canucks coach Adam Foote expressed disbelief after losing forward Brock Boeser to injury during Thursday’s 4-3 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues.

The Canucks have been plagued by injuries this season, and Boeser was the ninth player to join the team’s long injury list. He sustained a lower-body injury after taking a slap shot to the lower abdomen during Thursday’s game. He’s considered day-to-day as of now.

In the post-game media interaction, Foote said:

"Yeah, we got to find that person with the voodoo and all, if that's a thing. I don't believe in that stuff, but I'm like, "What is going on here?" It's going to just, if we can handle it and be resilient, stick to what we're doing, we'll all grow from it."

He added:

"And once we get another guy back, another guy back, another guy back, now we've got depth. So, I mean, yeah, it's tough, but I'm just proud of the group. They're becoming a very good team in there, and that's huge."

Foote had no update regarding the extent of Brock Boeser's injury. He has six points through four goals and two assists this season.

In addition to Boeser, the Canucks are already without captain Quinn Hughes, Conor Garland, Derek Forbort, Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, Teddy Blueger, Jonathan Lekkerimaki and Nils Hoglander.

Adam Foote praises Kiefer Sherwood after scoring hat trick for the Canucks

Kiefer Sherwood was the player of the game for the Canucks in their 4-3 win over the Blues. Sherwood scored a hat trick, helping his team secure the shootout victory.

After the game, Adam Foote had high praise for the forward:

“He's a motor,” Adam Foote said via NHL.com. “He loves the game. What I love about him is, early in the season, he was good, and then got off real quick and his emotions were in play, and our four coaches did a good job just talking to him, going, ‘You have some fun here."

The Canucks continue their three-game road trip against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. Puck drop at Xcel Energy Center is set for 7 p.m. ET.
