leomessi Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 the only thing I hate is - he should be get rewarded with a bit more ice time - he only got just under 12 minutes last game - while Bonino Higgins got more than him as well as more than the sedins...

leomessi Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Horvat has been terrific in all aspects. As much as I hate to put too much on a kid's plate, he should be getting considerably more ice-time here because he looks like someone who can handle the extra responsibility. Bo's play is a shining light. makes me excited for 3-4 years down the road when he's going to be entering his prime! kids got me excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekey Pete Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 He is definitely bringing his game to another level for the playoffs. It was pretty evident in his junior play that he had this extra gear available for these situations, and was one of the reasons MG drafted him.

C.Schneider Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 One of the announcers DID say that if he had been playing all season like he did in the last half he would have been in discussions of the calder and may have won it. and it's true, and it sucks he got injured in the preseason which slowed his development a bit. he probably would have been playing the way he is muchfaster had that not occurred. That announcer is such a homer. I'm so tired of this bs media coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Bagues Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'd like to see Bo with more ice-time, and better line mates. His line has been good, but I'd like him to have the same support that Gaudreau and Bennett have in Hudler, monahan, backlund, and coborne. It was a huge relief to see Bo come back in that game. Without Bo.... yikes, Vey? Are McCann or Cassels available yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Bagues Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Pretty much underlines the importance of having great young talent in the lineup. Change is coming. (slowly) Lest we forget; I was thinking that last night as Trevor and TC watched the Canucks get manhandled and skated in to the ice. What kind of assessment is management getting out of this series? I thought LA would be a better assessment tool, but Calgary's speed and tenacity is a good marker for the Canucks to measure up to - mind to last night they were way, way behind - as Beeker alluded to in the post-game. He even recognized that was one of their worst games of hockey since all those losses to the basement dwellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJoker Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 IMO Willie needs to give him and opportunity to step into a bigger role to see what he can do. Currently the goods outweigh the bads in his play, throw him in at 2C with someone like Vrbata to finish and see what happens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I actually really liked the fact that he screamed at Ferland from the bench after game 2's brawl (where everyone was talking about Miller pointing his finger and what he might have said). Just shows to me he's not willing to sit and let things happen. He's got intensity! that's what i focused on as well. i couldn't care less what miller was doing/saying. Horvat, however, leaned over and was trash-talking him the entire way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo.Horvat53 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It would only be impressive if he was 18 though. Honestly though, wow. He's so impressive. Way better than Monahan or Gaudreau so far. Plays a full 200ft game, and every shift is his best. This kid is going to be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "perimeter" game is not working, and it almost never works in a playoff series... unless you have absolutely talented snipers such as prime Naslund (and even then, he had big Bert). Horvat has been gold skating down with speed and driving the net, or peeling to the back and finding the trailer who is driving the net. We need someone that is fast and is willing to go to the crease, such as Matthias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleJack Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Horvats not a flame that's why CBC isn't singing his praise. He has really impressed me this series, and isn't he tied for points or something? Come on CBC praise BO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the year, so extending a 1st round series to 6 games will be moot by the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubcanuck Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 makes me excited for 3-4 years down the road when he's going to be entering his prime! kids got me excited! WEstern Canada is set for great hockey for the next 10 years plus. McDavid and Hall, Bennett and Monahan, Horvat and ????. Should be great for us fans for years.

Canuck23 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Excited to see him develop. With young guns like him, Virtanen (played with him, good was kinda lazy in junior though, cocky abbotsford kid, but he's definitely got high-end talent), Shinkaruk, Cassels, Pedan, McCann maybe even Jensen in the wings excited to see them start to take control of the team. Sedins can take a secondary scoring role to end out there careers, and we can get some young exciting kids out here, much like Calgary now.

highconan Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Horvat has been great, period. Aside from Dorsett, not seeing the same intensity from anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Bo is incredible. He wasn't quite the same after coming back from that innocent looking leg jam following a hit though. I hope he's not injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
