Rollieo Del Fuego Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't understand how Reinhart hindered him, Reinhart's a smart player himself and was also relied on the PK. Sam's not that much younger than Bo either, they're 7 months apart and both are playing in their third CHL season. He played well with Sam but McDavid missed at least half a dozen quality set ups by Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Go Canucks Go Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Good experience for Horvat and he was one of the better team canada forwards on a pretty poor roster. Hope he takes away from the tourny, gets mad about it and improves himself even more. Horvat and Ekblad played like NHL players, a lot of individuality on TC roster with too many people trying to do everything themselves and had poor structure to their game.

DeNiro Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) The London Knights captain should be announced next week. Dale Hunter said he wanted to wait until after the world juniors. I think it comes down to Tierney, Horvat, Domi, or R.Rupert. All of them would be good choices. We'll see which direction Hunter goes though.

Salmonberries Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 He had a good tournament as an 18 year old. He could be a real difference maker next year if the Canucks don't rush him into the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 wont be domi, its gotta be horvat. anybody would tell you hes a leader for them in every way Chris Tierny and Ryan Rupert are older and are leaders on the team too. Either one of them would be a good choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Killer Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Chris Tierny and Ryan Rupert are older and are leaders on the team too. Either one of them would be a good choice. All three are good choices, but i'd say it'll be Horvat just because all fit the billing, but Horvat is the heart and soul of the team. If you walk in the bud gardens, you can't walk 5 feet without seeing his jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumerman77 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 He led Canada in faceoff wins and faceoff percentage. I think that is a good sign. http://stats.iihf.com/Hydra/359/IHM359000_85F_10_0.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_The_Schneid! Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I thought he played well, it would be interesting to see his plus minus for the tourney because he never seemed to be out there for goals against. It always seemed like when he was out there they would pass it to the point and there defenseman would bobble it and lose possession and mcdavid was next to useless out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 bo had a solid tourney, he would have lead the tourney in points had mcdavid not been snake bitten and put away all the golden chances he was fed. still, horvat was working hard, looking good, and if there was a little more familiarity with the lines things could have turned out much different.

I'm Your Huckleberry Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 What stood out to me about Bo in the world juniors was how quickly he made decisions on the ice. As a whole, it seemed Team Canada took way too long to make plays and that is what bit them in the end. However, it seemed every time I focused on Bo he made decisions at an NHL level speed and I found that extremely encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 He thinks the game at a top 5 level for sure. Just needs to get his physical tools up to speed with hit mental game and he will be an absolute beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 What happened to Team Canada can be debated until the cows come home. I thought Horvat's line was the most consistant in a pretty inconsistent performance. Canadian media blowing hot air where the sun don't shine is a big reason. Where has Canadian hockey gone? No team identity, a lot of singular play (Drouin). I think Horvat's line stood out as they were passing the puck with more success than others.

Legend Killer Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 He plays a team game, no flashy fancy play surprisingly, those things in the highlights just happen. If Domi was with him instead of McDavid (who wasn't ready imo), you would've seen them each get 8 points. I guarantee that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
