    I don't get the hate for Leivo, he creates multiple chances each game he plays.  

    its not really a hate for Leivo, but if someone comes out of the lineup right now, he would be the obvious choice.

     

    the 4th line has chemistry and playing a perfect role that Green wants, 1st line set right now, so now we look at the middle 6

    Sutter is still our top pk , defensive center, Virtanen's play is improving every game as he's a pain in #@s to play against, Pearson , all though hasnt produced lately is still a staple on bo's line.

     

    Since they're 5-1 over the past 6 with a crap sched this weekend I wouldn't pull anyone just yet, and see how Detroit goes.

    Wow - that's a Canuck right there - take note Lou

    Yeah, Willie was my favorite Canuck in his days here... passed up the 22,33,17 jerseys for a #8 because the guy commanded respect, was one the smartest D men we've ever had with that 8' long stick of his, and tough as nails. whats not to love about him!

    The hit on Toews when we were getting pushed around was one a many highlites

    He would be a member of ROH if we didn't let him escape to win a couple cups in LA

    I hope our next Captain resembles leadership qualities similar to Linden and less of Hank. If I see one more "gentlemanly" leader again I am going to vomit. I want a leader who will "give everything" right to the last minute of a game 7 of a Stanley Cup final. I don't care what he says to the press or what he does in the community, I want him to be the LEADER ON THE ICE and a LEADER IN THE LOCKER ROOM, PERIOD. A leader who's only goal is the Stanley Cup and will not be just satisfied with a President's Cup.

    If Bo wants to lead like this, I am 110% behind him. GCG!!!:canucks:

    also a leader who has one gear for the regular season called 110% , and another for the playoffs, 125%  I think Bo can be that player for us.. much like Linden did throughout his career.

    Was shocked $6M Eriksson was actually Scratched last year in game 70.... not so much this year.

    He's a smart PK,defensive player but the term " hard to play against" isn't part of his M.O. so time to move on.

     

    At some point this season , sending him to Utica in favour of Baer wouldn't be surprising once Baer gets 5 or so games under his belt.

     

    Really routing for Jake- Gaud- Leivo to sir up some S#$t! Jake did assist on Gaud's first goal last year so maybe they do have "chemistry" right?

    Hughes looked great last even though he lost a couple assignments. its early but can see him just gaining confidence playing 18-20 minutes a night and being a serious threat for the Calder.

    others positives , our whole "2nd line" new D additions, Marky, Beagle, Eddie.

    This was the first game for the top line together and they had some moments so its worth keeping them together IMO

     

    Our bottom 6 looked discombobulated out there. I believe we have the players but not the chemistry. Hate to say it but Motte on that 4th line would have really helped.

     

    JV's confidence is pretty low or else something else is going on behind the scenes there. 

    Not sure if sitting him out is the right move, so sitting Schaller and trying something like these lines for bottom 6

     

    Leivo- Gaudette- Virtanen- fast aggressive 

    Eriksson- Beagle -Sutter- shutdown

    Bo has been given a lot of different players to play with, no consistency, yet does he complain?  Nope.  He's asked to play in all situations.  First it was offense.  He improves his offensive game.  Oh no injuries have hit.  We need you to be our defensive shutdown guy.  No worries, he does that too, while getting points.  Oh we need you to take all the important faceoffs.  No problem, Bo will just lead the NHL in that category while also winning most of them.  Bo just goes out and does what a leader does, by being an example.  Bo shows a work ethic, and improves his game every single year.  Bo is counted on in every situation.  If that's not a leader, I don't know what is.  I doubt Travis Green will be leaning on EP to play defensively as much as Bo.  Even teammates call him Cap already.  He's got the respect of management, coaches, and most of all his teammates, and most of us fans also.  

     

    Bo is Captain Canuck, and it will be well deserved!

    hear, hear.

    It's a slam dunk for 53

    I know this has been talked about a ton, but it's too bad we have a line of Schaller-Beagle-Eriksson and not Baertschi-Beagle-Gaudette

    Eriksson should be with Sutter/ JV was he is a better playmaker

    Leivo can grind it out on the 4th line.

    Hopefully Gaudette gets his chance when one of the bottom 6 hops into Greeners doghouse
