EdgarM Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 https://www.nhl.com/canucks/video/postgame--horvat-vs-wild/t-277437438/c-49105103 Really like Bo's discussion on the effort of play of late. He stated they should be playing like a playoff team and should be giving that extra 5%. Please make this guy the Captain soon! This has been a glaring problem for this team for a very long time and this is the first I heard of a Canuck admitting it and challenging his fellow players to give that extra effort. If they did this they would definitely be winning more games and there would be a greater entertainment factor for the fans. Its very easy to see the players that are giving that extra effort and those that are not night in and night out. Miller, Markstrom, Tryampkin, Biega, Stecher, Edler, Sbisa, Tanev, Hansen, Sutter, Baertchi, Skille and Bo show this pretty much every night and I can't wait until this is the norm and all players are on the same page and they fight for the 2 points every night. Dare to dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Rip the C of Sedin's hairless chest and put it on either Guddy or Horvat, and get an identity already. Enough is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laheys Liquor Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Give him the A next year, and then the C after the Sedins retire.

Enough is enough. Get ready for a flaming, mate. On another note, assuming Burrows is gone next year, the battle for the "A" is between Edler (who's worn it a few times) and Horvat. While I think Edler is a solid alternate leader, especially for the defense corps, I feel like it would be better to ease Bo in and giving the 'A' to him next year would be a nice transition.

If Hank was the type of player people boast about, then he would see that it is time to pass it on. If not this year then definitely next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a funny period when they had no idea and even tried Luongo as the Captain for a bit. This was a mistake made back then and I guess it was like "who should we give it to?" and Hank ended up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that he is pretty much exactly what you want in a captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkayloomeh Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 As far as taking the captaincy from Henrik goes it doesn't have to be done with disrespect. Bo could be captain and mentored as captain by Henrik. That's the spin that could be put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant disrespect your franchises all-time best player like that.. As opposed to ripping the C off maybe it would be better to ask politely that they captaincy is given up, much like Henrik would do. I'm only agreeing to this because at this point in the Sedin's careers it seems that they may be better left to focus on their games as opposed to all the other issues.

Dogcrazy Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I think the Canucks is probably leading the NHL with the fewest fighting majors among all the teams. This is not a good sign for a team, especially in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
