Wilbur Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Horvat jumped into 67th in all-time Canuck scoring with his goal today. 66. Jocelyn Guevremont D 227 44 88 132 67. Bo Horvat C 249 56 75 131 68. Bob Dailey D 257 38 93 131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 So far this year, Bo has a 54.8% faceoff percentage. After a couple of average years, it looks like his faceoff status is in the elite category again. Great to see him regain that skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it has been a way to give a tip of the cap to a current player while also taking a trip down memory lane and see how they stack up against past Canucks. Heh, it's been a lot of Bo this season. Combination of Horvat being low enough that quite often a point will allow him to pass someone (although there's a bit of a gap to catch Tallon) and there are only 3 current Canucks ahead of him in all-time scoring. Two of those are the Sedins who only have each other to pass and Edler who would probably need to have a shot actually make it to the net in order to get a point. I'm always disappointed when the Canucks get shutout (well, no stats to post and for obvious reasons). I've been tempted to post a random Canuck futility stat in the Lastname Placeholder thread.

Lancaster Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Bo for the Lady Byng? So far this season he's got only 2 PIM. Of course, I probably jinxed him now.... like next game he's gonna have a double-minor for highsticking, then getting into a fight, an instigator, and getting a 10 minutes misconduct, lol.

He's in the race, but there are a lot of great players still at very low PIM numbers like Scheifele (25 points in 21 games, 2 PIM) and Teravainen (20 points in 20 games, 0 PIM).

The_Rocket Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 We’re in year 4 of Bo-lieving, but it still feels like this guy is underrated, like in the radio and stuff I always hear people talking about Brock and virtanen and stuff (for good reason), but rather about Horvat. This guy: -leads the team in faceoffs taken -has the highest faceoff win % of all centres on the team -plays the most minutes amongst forwards -plays pk, pp, and double shifts at 5v5 for some defensive zone draws (particularly if grandlund’s line is out for a d-zone draw) -one of the top goal scores and point producers on the team -over 220 pounds and one of the fastest on the team -gives a great interview (see recent nhl studios visit) and shows respect and support for teammates -he’s only 22 seriously, this guy is our best player hands down. Just wanted to throw some admiration his way. He could turn into one of the best all round players in the whole NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who still say he cannot be thought of as first line C as he doesn't have first line C production yet from start of last season until today, he has 70 points - Toews has 74, Kopitar has 80, Bergeron has 66.....the very players he is trying to emulate himself after and at 22 he is essentially "there" in terms of production. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Bo is certainly able to play the number one center role. We do need to have an elite point producer though. Maybe Boeser is that guy, but I think it's more likely going to be Pettersson. Our team is going to take a BIG leap forward, when Pettersson arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Lineup sure gets uglier if Bo's out. If it's any extended time...yikes All of a sudden we have no 1C, foisting the Sedins back in to 1st line duty against tougher match ups and bigger minutes where they'll be exposed more like they were last year. Sedin, Sedin, Erkisson Goldy, Gagner?, Boeser Baer, Granlund/Burmistrov, Vanek Gaunce, Granlund/Burmistrov, Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB needs to solidify that centre depth C depth is coming with Gaudette and Pettersson both on the cusp but top 6 C depth isn't exactly something a rebuilding team has the luxury of simply 'solidifying' via trade. At least not easily. We can't really afford the assets required for such a move. It's one of the many reasons we signed Gagner though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
