I don't follow Utica at all so I have no idea and don't really care too much about what is going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoball Cannons Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 He set us 2 glorious chances that should've been in. Still not sure how Burrows didn't put the 1 in particular away?? If he has a 2 point night, everyone's happy. Relax, Bo is fine, he is effective in more ways than just on the score sheet, points will come, he's playing well.

Not just on the Burrows set-up but tried on more than one occasion to drive the puck hard to the net with possession. Both of those are things a kid without confidence would be hesitant to try. Points will start coming for him real soon. Not a big concern imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeslerBEAST Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Not ready yet for the increased responsbiility (and I don't blame him, he's 20) that came with Sutter being injured, he's been -7 since Sutter was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saucypass Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Also, Bo has been used like Toews lately so it's not surprising to see him struggling as a sophomore lately. But man, if he adapts to this new role like he did last year with his previous... look out boys, once the Sedins are gone, there's a new captain in town.

Brad Marchand Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Horvat's even-strength PDO (or more simply, his combined on-ice shooting and save percentage) is a team-worst 94.5, which is incidentally the same as Vrbata's. So, on top of increased quality of competition from last year, he's been fairly unlucky so far this season. Like Vrbata, the bounces will start coming if he continues to push. In short, I wouldn't worry too much about his +/-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, I wouldn't worry too much about his +/-. This is a good point. Both Vrby and Horvat has had bad luck so far. We can expect "regression to the mean" which will help both players. Kind of the opposite of Kenins when joined the Canucks last year. He was very luck at first so his performance looked better than it really was and he came back down to the expected level later in the season in in pre-season this year (before being injured). The same thing applies to the Canucks as a whole. Last year the Canucks had good luck -- reflected by a great record in one goal games. That was not sustainable. This year they have a bad record in one-goal games. That is probably not going to continue either, so we can expect some improvement in terms of luck. However, the Canucks will still be in a battle to make a playoff spot and odds of making the playoffs are, in my view, no better than 50-50.
