Popular Post DeNiro Posted October 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2018 8 hours ago, The 5th Line said: The only reason people have him pegged as captain is because he was the only good young player we had at the time, so everybody got a Bo Horvat fetish and started naming him captain. Why are people even commenting on it when we aren't in the room? And I'm sick of reading Agent's comments defending literally every move the canucks end up making. No actually that's not the reason. He's a workhorse on the ice and the hardest worker off the ice. Not to mention more mature than most young players his age. Get a clue. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dizzle Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 8 hours ago, Kushman said: Yes, he lost the fight, but that's not relevant, his actions to stand up to Gudbranson spoke louder than winning or losing that fight. It said "you are not gonna be able to take runs at our players without consequences". If the consequences are 'you get to beat someone up' I'm sure more teams will be taking liberties with the fLAMES. 8 hours ago, Kushman said: I'm sure Hamonic also gained a tremendous amount of respect in his own locker room and gave confidence to everyone in that room that everyone is willing to sacrifice for eachother. Hamonic would appreciate that respect more if he was actually in the locker room (last time I checked he's out with a broken face). 8 hours ago, Kushman said: Contrast that with what happened with EP. He gets taken out by a dirty hit, can barely get up and leaves the game, the team does NOTHING. Even if you aren't going to challenge for a fight like Hamonic did, the message HAS to be that everyone goes out there and ups their intensity and the physicality. You go out there and you finish every check. You don't let them just get away with taking out your best player. They showed complete cowardice and its embarrassing. It'd be nice to see a bit more pushback sure, but I'm giving the guys the benefit of the doubt they didn't see what actually happened. 8 hours ago, Kushman said: Go on youtube and search up any respectable team that has had their top player taken out by a dirty play (or even a clean hit for that matter) and watch how they respond. Times have changed, but if you actually watch cup winning teams like Pittsburgh, Boston, LA, Chicago, Washington, etc etc... watch what happens when someone takes a cheap shot or run at their players. They certainly don't just play on as if nothing ever happened and then say "oh we didn't know what happened until after the game..." Ya... he just slipped and fell on his own. We're a few games in... before you let the falling sky crush you let's see how the team reacts over the course of the next 75 or so games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNucks1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 1 hour ago, The 5th Line said: Of course I realize that, but a leader is more than someone who just works hard. Might as well slap an A on Biega while we are at it. Bo's not overly physical, he's a good point producer but not elite, according to reports he has been a no-show at the end of game media scrums, he's okay when he talks to the media but mostly just spits out boring cliches, he has failed to defend his teammates on a few occasions just like everyone else on the team and the biggest factor as to why I am not ready to slap a C on Bo just yet is I have no clue how much respect he has in the room or what he is like around the guys. Now somebody give me some reasons why he should be captain other than "he works hard" Telling me to get a clue after defending what went on at the end of the last game? Mhm, right. mcdavid/crosby or how many captains arent fighters? that are still captain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an embarrassing moment for the Sabre players, and (I'm sure) Miller remembered it. This incident with Pete was different. None of the players on the ice saw what happened. I doubt any player saw what happened, and only noticed the dirty cheap shot (obvious intent to injure) on replays. Well if they did not see what happened during the play they had 15 minutes of playing time to find out. It was not different just another example of how the org approaches the game.

combover Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Team would have been better off naming a captian. Bo has been groomed along the sedins and has always been a very high character player/person. Bo would put the weight of the team on his shoulders and thrive and build and a positive identity plus the younger players coming in could relate to him and would see the team actually rewards hard work and great work ethic. Another missed opportunity to send a positive message to the young players. Bo will play his prime years as a Canuck with little to no chance of winning anything and he signed a long term deal knowing that. He was told he has to earn his ice time playing on the fourth line by a terrible coach when he was one of the best players we had and did it with no compliant. He’s a team first player and always has been. Didn’t pout when they said it was going to be a committee of soon to be ex-Canucks sharing the “A” with him. i wonder if he hadn’t signed the long term deal if he would have been treated differently right about now. Personally I Hate the “committee”. All talk no action. Officially the teams identity now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wilbur Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2018 A little late this this time (was at a conference) but Horvat moved into 49th of all-time Canuck scoring with his goal last night. 48.

Once Edler leaves/retires, he'll be our top career points guy (for the Canucks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 By quite a margin too. I think Baerstchi is next closest and he's nearing the 100 point mark. He'll probably have the honour for a while (assuming Edler leaves sooner than later, which may not be the case, I could see that going either way) as Horvat has quite the head start on Boeser and Pettersson.

I thought Tanev might be third, but he's at 89 points to Baertschi's 99 as a Canuck. Yeah, even if Boeser and Pettersson out-produce Horvat, he's got such a head start that it'll take them a long time to pass him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good chance Boeser and a decent chance Sutter both pass him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Would like to see him distribute the puck a little bit better to his teammates. However, his linemates have been average at best, so I can see why he often does the solo effort dash. Boeser just seems to be laboring to get into the same areas of the ice he was really good at doing last year, and Baertschi is like a moody girlfriend. I remember when Bo went to the IIHF world championships, Pierre Luc Dubois brought a lot of creativity out of his game. Need someone to do the same...maybe Goldobin can be that guy.

EP has been that guy on the power play. Got Horvat going with that first goal almost banked in off of Bo's stick. LOL. Bo has said himself how he is motivated by EP.

Kanukfanatic Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) I want to see a few more fights from Bo when it matters.
