DownUndaCanuck Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I know it's a smaller sample size, but Horvat has a 60% faceoff percentage which is currently 2nd in the NHL behind only Malhotra at 62%. That alone is a reason he should stick with the club, but he's also out-played Matthias and Richardson both offensively and defensively. He should not only stick, but this should be our lineup when healthy and their line cools off: Sedin - Sedin - Vbrata Higgins - Bonino - Burrows Hansen - Horvat - Vey Richardson - Matthias - Dorsett Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hot line. If they stay hot I'm sure it will continue. Like how there were a couple games where Bonino got more ice time than Henrik when they were hot. The Richardson line hasn't been that good for quite a few games now. I think the credit should go to the winger if it isn't a clean draw and they retrieve it, but whatever. That was a draw Toews should have won but his winger Saad screwed up (it went right to him) because Hansen tied him up and Dorsett swooped in for the puck. Toews tried to win the draw back to his left, and Bo tried to win it back to his left, the Puck went to Bo's left (Toews right) I would say Bo fared quite a bit better on that draw, Toews didn't get the puck anywhere near where he was aiming to get it. It wasn't a clean win by anymeans but still very impressive considering it was on Toews strong side (Horvat's weak side) and he got the better of Toews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Scratch Kassian/Matthias for a game when Burrows is healthy. See if it has the same effect on them as it did on Vey. Meanwhile drop Vey to the 3rd line and see what he can do on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

people please Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Scratch Kassian/Matthias for a game when Burrows is healthy. See if it has the same effect on them as it did on Vey. Meanwhile drop Vey to the 3rd line and see what he can do on it. Vey is still playing bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimp C Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Woah whats the insults you two? We all want the best for him do we not? Just because he commented on his ice time doesn't mean he thinks he played bad. If WD played him 5 minutes a game every night would you want him to stay? That's not nearly enough ice time for any rookie let alone any NHL player. Thankfully that's not the case and WD is playing him in quality minutes which he has earned. That's something every Canuck fan can be happy about. Hopefully Horvat can consistently play great defensively and on the dot. We will need it especially because of Hammer's injury. Meathead over here started it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The Richardson line hasn't been that good for quite a few games now.

It wasn't a clean win by anymeans but still very impressive considering it was on Toews strong side (Horvat's weak side) and he got the better of Toews. Yeah I saw. It still went back towards Saad and he was thinking offense the whole way before Hansen jumped on him and let the puck slide past and Dorsett skated up to it and got out of the zone. And outside of that Bo went 4/4 against Toews (5/5 with the winger win), so regardless, Bo was dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 i am excellent.. haven't been on here in awhile, but needed to give my 2 cents haha. so happy with his playaha yes he has indeed been playing well as of late.

Hopefully he will continue to get around 10+ minutes from here on out (as long as he's not playing horribly), I still think he could bring the kind of impact to our team that Couturier did to the Flyers in his rookie year.

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 We may be comparing other players to Bo the way we are ROR and Bergeron to him within a year or two. There is no way Bo doesn't become a dominant center in this league. It might happen by the end of this season! Way to much hockey sense and everything else to fail....

Amish Rake Fighter Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Benning says he's open to the idea of releasing Bo for the WJCs, it depends on his ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Congrats to Bo. It really became an easy decision IMO. Now keep showing us why it was Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Made it. Wow. First 19-year-old since Nedved. This is going to be exciting to see. Management and coaching staff think that it's better for his development to be in the bigs, then I trust their decision. If he could become our regular 3rd line center by the end of the year and play some PK, this could be a huge boost for the team going into the playoffs. The only missing piece then may be another top 4 defenseman, and with that we could make some serious noise. I would like to see Benning add - not subtract - to the roster (a defenseman) before the trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Different good or different bad? I'm guessing good. The guy is killing it on the scoresheet (over 2.0PPG) and was voted team captain by his teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one game I seen this year it seems Domi got the message to use his linemates more. He never used to pass the puck, a bit of a puck hog for sure.

I think we heard the same caveat for Virtanen here but the skill was never deniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
