With a healthy Sutter and Beagle his chances are immensely better, if not a guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Bo looks gassed the past few games, he isn't skating with the same speed and gumption to go to the net as before. Obviously impacted largely by Beagle and Sutter out, need to find him some support down the middle and even on the wings. Albeit I like that it is pushing him to be better defensively, at times he has looked a bit lost defensively, need him to get back to playing simple defensive hockey like his first two seasons in the NHL.

A few days of rest here and hopefully one or both of Sutter/Beagle back soon should help Horvat's energy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Horvat has not been playing very well for many games now. I hope he gets out of whatever funk he seems to be in. The fact he got a mean nothing goal tonight doesn't mean anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Been noticing Bo's defensive awareness is lacking last little while. Tonight, Bo was on for all of Vegas' four goals where he was caught in no mans land on all the goals. He has to track and make quicker decisions to get back into defensive positioning and getting his stick/body in passing lanes. Was advertised to be a strong defensive player in Junior and when drafted. I feel he hasnt developed that part of the game as much in the NHL compared to his offensive game. At this stage of his career was hoping he would be a bit more polished in this area of his game. Beagle and Sutter wont be here forever and we will depend on Bo to carry the load going forward. He needs to start taking bigger strides in this area. He has shown he is always uo for ghe challenge. Whether it was his skating, offensive game, he has passed it multiple times. Hope its the same case for his defensive game. Edited December 20, 2019 by CRAZY_4_NAZZY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Canucks Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Because of his line mates, I Beleive, he’s trying to be that spark offensively. He gets caught a lot, I agree. Horvat is absolutely brilliant on face offs and he does a lot of good things every game. If he had better line mates we would not be having this convo. Horvat is the heart of this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason why our second line does not produce. It’s his line mates. I would put Gauds on his line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat land fish Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 To me Gaudette is finding his way now in the league and atleast from an offensive perspective will be our 2nd best center by seasons end. If we are to win this could mean Bo adjusting his game to play a more defensive role to put the team first. Use the tools he has to be that shutdown guy we need.

That is what I was thinking watching the game last night. Bo has a dry spell each season. If he was a tad more physical it might improve his game.

Toyotasfan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If Bo can get his plus / minus in the plus range , he should be a nominee for the Selke trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh....he's got good face-offs, but on other stats there are better players. He doesn't play on the PK that much and the stats show that when he does, he's not actually that great. He does have some pretty impressive possesion metrics according to NHL.com though based on his OZ%. Still, I don't think he has enough going for him to seriously challenge for the Selke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right, 80 points and a +20 as a shut down centre would win that , not quite this year but he might peak there in his career . He needs an aggressive side once in awhile to get over the top.

He needs an aggressive side once in awhile to get over the top. I think the Selke should have to do with a lot more than points and +/-. I would say that about 65 points should be enough to qualify and from there, while +/- is a factor, you'd also want to include factors such as faceoff %, possession metrics (CORSI/Fenwick), OZ%, blocked shots, takeaways/giveaways, PK time, and PK effectiveness. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Bo has been notoriously been a slow starter to every single season. But he always seems to heat up towards the latter half of the year which could be huge for us down the stretch. Bo looks confident, and in part to having consistent line mates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
