AlwaysACanuckFan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Bo is just killing it in the faceoff circle with faceoffs taken (410) and won (226) which is ranked number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Didn't even realize that he has ranked first in faceoffs in the entire league. Looking at it closely, he has taken 44 more faceoffs than second-ranked Jordan Staal. He has been receiving a lot of praise from Travis Green lately -- in Green's words, "he's a bull."

I think our faceoffs are just fine - when healthy. Welp, you are all the experts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we're missing Sutter and Beagle, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. If anything it's impressive that we're not bottom with rookies and converted centers taking faceoffs for us.

Apparently he had hip surgery in the off season and hadn't played a game until recently. I think they probably had him play a few games in the AHL to get him ready. https://apnews.com/354cc20ad18b4964bee5ea5db95dd842 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hindustan Smyl Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Based on the first 5/6th of this season, I believe that Horvat is ready to be the captain of this team. However, I also believe that management made the corrext decision heading into this season (4A’s). I would give Horvat the captaincy either at the start of next season, or on Sedin appreciation night where Henrik would symbolically pass the torch (and C) to BoHo.

Going through the reasons why to keep him and basically he has nothing that can’t be done by Granlund. The only thing Sutter has is faceoffs at 47% horvat 54% sutter 47% gaudette 47% pettersson 46% beagle 46% granlund 40% granlund can definitely use some improvements in faceoffs but for a guy who is a shut down centerman sutter should be much better basically the Canucks suck at face offs and that’s why Bo has taken as many as he has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one comparable on the Canucks in terms of their defensive work. A foundational piece, if you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps this up, he should be nominated for the Selke. Do you watch other teams. He’s probably top 15 but barkov bergeron even Eichel has been deadly fourth in offensive zone possession sixth in shots 19 pts I know his plus minus is minus one but offense is a great part of defense after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go with your best players rather than moving them. It's great to have a guy like Granlund that play wing effectively and fill in at center when injuries occur.

For sure the team is trending upwards But as we have been witnessing lately is our goal scoring support is lacking. Outside of virtanen horvat and eriksson the forward group has been spotty. Pettersson is now facing better d matchups and is getting shut down and our goals against is horrendous for the amount of wins this team has if sutter and say a second can fetch a scoring winger or defensively responsible type prospect it would help the team in the long run more than holding on to a player who will start the downturn of his career in 3-5 years. His injury time is also something to consider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 He’s really being overworked right now, over 40 face offs in the Detroit game. Bo has got to be looking forward to getting Sutter and Beagle back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
