avelanch Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 We havent had a prospect this good since Hodgson. I doubt he puts up the numbers Hodgson did back in 2009, that team was pretty special with so much great talent. I don't think Horvat is going to get the same offensive opportunities that Hodgson did either. he's going to be logging lots of minutes, it's very possible that he puts up similar numbers. His line will most likely be going against the top lines of other teams, and get the lion's share of minutes as a result. and he should at least be on the 2nd PP unit.

Shinkaruk will put up lots of points if he's in a scoring role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Go Canucks Go Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Everyone knows he's an amazing 200 ft player which is why I think they'll use him in a checking role as opposed to a scoring one. The camp roster seems to reflect this based on the make up of players selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 For anyone that hasn't seen the highlights from the knights last game, they're worth the watch. On the Knights second goal, Bo uses his speed to make a nice power move to the net, and then he feeds it back to Andersson for the one-timer. I knew Bo was a good skater, but I didn't know he had speed like that. On the third goal he makes a sick toe drag and then feeds it to his winger for the tap in. Another really nice assist. http://www.londonknights.com/video/index 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat does not have a calibre of Duchen to play with, that said, he does have a stronger team. Calling it right now. Horvat is going to be one of the best players for Team Canada. He might not lead the team in scoring but by the end of the day, he will be the most important player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Him & Shinkaruk will make the WJ's even more exciting for us Canucks fans, I can't wait for the WJ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Uhh.. Max Domi? Not even a regular linemate. And to those comparing Horvat to Hodgson... that's an insult... to Horvat. Hodgson doesn't know what defense is, nonetheless where to find it. Honestly we might as well just give the entire Comets dressing room the flu and then call up Horvat on emergency basis. There's not much more he can do in junior, even if the Knights are hosting the mem cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably thinks Connor Brown is the greatest player in the OHL right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.olofsson Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I just watched the London Game. Horvat played all game with Domi and Anderson on a line that went up against the Tolchinsky line most of the game. (By god that russian dude can play!). Anderson and horvat played a good game in spite of their numbers. Domi did ok I guess but he didnt really thrive in a defensive role wich might explain his lack of production lately. They did have a few quality chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to claim that anyone is inflating his numbers and play overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to claim that anyone is inflating his numbers and play overall. I never claimed Domi inflated his numbers or his overall play. The OP I quoted suggested Hodgson's numbers being inflated by playing with Duchene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
