Not only for his obvious offensive creativity but also for his defensive awareness and passionate play all over the ice. If he were 20 or 30 pounds heavier he would have flattened that guy. As it is, I like the effort. If he could only stay on his skates a bit more but it is what it is. Why can't everybody on our team play with passion like that? That's what it is going to take to win. We need every single player, including the guys who consider themselves "skill" players to make more hits. It's still a contact game and if we ever make the playoffs we're going to need that to survive. Go Canucks Go!

"If the guy we have benched doesn't do very well, maybe, just maybe, we might put you in his spot"? Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Too bad Levo's injury is a bad one. Broken Knee Cap. I can see why he was so mad after the hit. Best wishes and a fast recovery. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loui and Bo actually have good numbers together, and even now Loui is a more skilled passer than big Mac. You also don't disrupt the three other lines that are working really well right now. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing about Petey is that I never seen him get out position defensively and his only downfall is his size, which is only temporary. He never takes a game or even a shift off and that's what leaders do. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that fact about Bo and LE override the fact that LE has not played well enough to stay in the line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy who was pulling a stump out with a bobcat he had a ratchet strap attached to the stump and the strap snapped sending the screw he had drilled into the stump shooting back into his knee cap. he didn’t know it was broken in half for almost two weeks until he could finally no longer walk. he missed one day of work. i saw the knee.

Nucker 67 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 When Leivo got hit from behind and hurt, it was Myers who was talking to the ref after, wanting an explanation. Where was Bo? I think he might've talked to the ref as well, but a bit later. I like Horvat, but I was expecting him to really go to war this year with a C on his jersey. Someone here mentioned before that Bo seems like too nice of a guy, and I agree, it takes a lot to pi** him off. Maybe he needs to play more pi**ed off, with the heart of a Roussel. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on your side here, I don't think it's wise to break apart a line that is working to fill the whole on the top line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he did get 10 pts on Bo's wing last season. I go back to the message from the team that "good play will be rewarded". I think you can agree that Jake and LE are at both ends of that spectrum. I think you can agree that the team is still rebuilding and we are far from a finished product right now. So, why not try out different line combinations and reward those who have been playing well and are part of the core. Just like Willy, I believe TG is just trying to save his job and therefore not thinking "Big picture". Remember Willy's deployment of Kaput and Magma. I think he thought they were the second coming of Gretzky or something. I don't know, I just think Bo and Jake deserve better and should be treated with more respect.

Just amazing. But, it doesn't disrupt the lines that have chemistry already. It makes sense when you look at it that way. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Would rather have MacEwen in, Loui hasn’t played for a while now. At least Mac is getting reps in down in the AHL? Also his physical presence would be nice, something our team is desperately missing right now. Putting Loui in isn’t the end of the world though, he’s played decent in his games played. Imo, it’s time for a Boucher or Goldobin call up. They may be done with a full time spot but I’d rather see one of them on that top line than Loui.
