Guest Dasein Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I don't expect this thread to blow up during the game as Bo is not really known for his offense. Might be a clean stat sheet by the end of it and no one will really know how solid he was unless they actually watched the game. The only thing people can really tell by paper is his faceoff %. Best case scenario - he pops one or has an helper while being solid defensively and in the dot. Solid night - 0G0A0P, +/-0, 55+% on faceoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Do they ever reset? I have 2 lingering from at least 2-3 years ago.. On topic: looking forward to seeing Bo in action tonight, hopefully he's on one of the first two lines and gets ample opportunity! you can petition a mod to lower it if you feel like you deserve it.

While not always indicative of play, they will often illustrate some scoring opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goal-ghost Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 For those interested Horvat has started the game on a line with Jones and DeFazio. He's looked good in the early going here creating a couple of nice chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Horvat's playing on the left side with Defazio and Jones, he almost scored just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Bo Horvat is wearing #22 for the Comets tonight. #53 taken in Utica by? Horvat's playing on the left side with Defazio and Jones, he almost scored just now Not at center? Is this to ease him in or we want to try him at wing?

Guest Dasein Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 ^ Weird that he wouldn't wear/be given it then considering the story behind his # and that the Canucks already gave it to him.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 #53 taken in Utica by? Not at center? Is this to ease him in or we want to try him at wing? they're probably just breaking him in slowly like they did with Kesler on Linden's wing hopefully it's not because his shoulder can't handle taking draws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Horvat is listed as 6'1 216lbs by the Comets in their report. 6'1... 216 pounds? That's great. I hope his speed isn't a problem. ^ ^^ Was it not reported that Horvat trimmed to near 205 lbs this off season? Not that he was overweight. But changed his training to get to a point where he was quicker, faster, and had more jump to get up to the faster pace of the NHL... On the same line; that he would need to change his game style? In the OHL, to play 22 or more minutes he had to reserve energy. Coasting a tad rather than blowing maximum energy full out each shift. So he could play longer shifts and more of them. Now to make the NHL he would have to play faster and more explosively to keep up with the pace. And use shorter shifts to not get puff'd at that level.

canuckledraggin Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It's pretty clear that the kid's a pro. Stick checking and breaking up plays everytime he steps out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimp C Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Horvat had a really good game today. Lots of chances and set up Gaunce a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 More than I expected for a first game back. He was very noticeable out there, showing some chemistry with Gaunce and Shinkaruk at times. His defensive game looks solid as usual and he had a couple great scoring chances. It's too bad he can't stay in the A this season, because I think that would really help his development. But at least he can start their next season, if he doesn't stick on the Nucks out of training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo said he was playing at over 220 (223 as I remember) last spring and was told to work out and trim down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
