Beary Sweet Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Bo has usurped the Sedins long ago like since the beginning of this season. He has been a leader for the team and I believe the kid is only going to get better. I won't be surprised if he hits 55-60 points. you deserve the recognition, Bo!

Nah he was probably thinking about lunch. Never thought there was much between the ears with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again Willie probably would've benched Tkachuk or kept him on the 4th line. Can't say that Juolevi is the wrong choice so early.....hasn't even played a single game yet. He could be a better choice than Tkachuk we don't know yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I never understood why the 8th most valuable franchise in hockey doesn't get more coverage than it does. Really is a head scratcher because you'd think the NHL would be ecstatic about all 10 of it's top 10 franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly something didn't click in the pre-draft interviews and he'd be hated around the league with that attitude as a Canuck, whereas in Calgary it will just be seen as truculence. Top pairing D is much harder to get, so we'll have to wait and see if thats what OJ really is but if he does develop into that we are better off.

An entire league/country graded him as their top player for his age group. I guess they were all wrong eh? AV ridiculing him about his back injury as an excuse so the kid did more damage trying to play through it, even the Canuck medical people missed the severity of his injury. Ever had a f****d up back and try to play 4 times a week? Rookie of the year comes only once in a players life, he got up to 4th playing LESS than half the ice time of the rookies in front of him, do you know how much getting the rookie of the year paid in bonuses? Don't you think that just maybe, maybe he had a shot if he played even 2 minutes more per game, 10+ min instead of 8+? Or the rarified air of the 18 min some of the other rookies were getting? Have you looked into any of the stories relating to his injury, that AV and the Nucks didn't help. I think it is sad, SAD that a young guy like him ends up quitting because of a severe back injury, but hey go right ahead and cheer that he is scr3wed for the rest of his life, good on you!

Good move by management when it came to trading Schneider for the number 9 pick. I want to see Hank hand Bo the C at the start of next season. This is the right thing to do.

Kassian scored last night, McDavid set him up. I think he found a home in Deadmonton. I will always be a fan of the toothless one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I love the Canucks, but with our attendance and merchandise sales dropping like a rock there is no way we're 8th most valuable. You're right, the league doesn't care about Canada except the original six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their daily and recently the have done three stories on H.Sedin and they always do a blurb whenever the Canucks play like all the teams. Other than that all I can recall is a bit on the Ericsson trade and a Bure story which mentioned that he was likely the best skater ever combining his acceleration and break neck agility. And yet there are weekly stories on some Leaf. I agree that we dont get much coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
