Bur14Kes17 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Desjardins confirms Henrik Sedin again heads up leadership group as captain while Daniel Sedin & Alex Burrows will wear 'A' on their jersey. If i didnt I didn't know any better, based strictly off today's events, I'd tell you Horvat is Willies new favourite whipping boy. I honestly expected Bo to be given an A this year but instead the only Horvat news of the day is he's now centering the 4th line. This franchise i tell ya... so slow to transition responsibility to our youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sygvard Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Safe choices, and impossible to fault. I agree that it would be a good idea to get an A on Horvat as soon as possible. I suspect that will be next year, post-Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'NucK™ Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Nothing against Burrows, but WD is going to have to pick a new A for every game that Burr is up in the press box... odd choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Relax on the Bo talk... Our 2nd 3rd and 4th lines will all be similar production and ice time wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xur Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I approve. Honestly anyone who thinks Burrows doesn't deserve the A hasn't been a canucks fan very long. Believe it or not the Canucks were in the nhl before 2011 and Burrows was one of the most exciting players to watch. He fought harder then any other Canuck many nights and he never gave up. Bo is awesome but he hasn't earned the A over Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are really in trouble though if 3 of our lines are producing at the pace of Skille - Granlund/Gaunce - Burrows/Dorsett.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll c how the cookie crumbles but what I meant to say was that Bo might technically be slotted on the 4th line but we all know he won't get 4th liner ice time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nex is my ex Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 All I know is he better get pp time.. If I see Skille on the 2nd unit on Saturday I'm boycotting the Canucks until WD is fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davathor Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Horvats being groomed to be a defensive dynamo like toews, and we all know toews anchored the 3rd/4th line for years... OH WAIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Canucks have rotated home and away Assistant Captains for as long as i can remember? I just dont see why Bo shouldn't be brought into that rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Evidently Burrows isn't going anywhere. Or maybe it's just another motivational tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will likely be our captain one day but for now let's see him push 60 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that I thought Horvat should get the letter sooner rather than later, however I wouldn't get too worked up over practice lines. In all likelihood those lines will change prior to Saturday. Horvat will most likely inherit the "A" next year in the post-Burrows era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Trying to light Burrows up after a really dull season ... I hope it works and he finds a way to score some goals with Horvat setting him up...otherwise there is going to be hell to pay on CDC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
