I mean, he doesn't avoid interviews and it's ok for things to bother him...I'd rather have a captain who says so than a passive yes captain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang Durst Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 talk is cheap J.T.. I guess you know the difference between words and deads. All that matters is the right mindset to put in the work in off-season to show up at camp in shape. Thats exactly what I expect from you. The best players in the league are blessed with ATTITUDE. How many Canuck players can say that they've got attitude? At least I would expect from J.T. to have character, which is less than attitude, but a good starting point. We will see if you show up at camp being in shape or not JT. That's all that matters in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much about JT...he's been doing a good job silencing his critics and proving himself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Quote I extended because I believe in the young talent on this team. I didn't want to go to market trying to find something I already have here. With this core and this staff, I think we're going to surprise a lot of people He believes in this group and that's important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he's got that tough outer skin that's needed. He doesn't care what people think/say...he cares that his team wins. He's listened to a whole lot of criticism lately and it only seemed to fuel his fire. It didn't rattle him. He's absolutely captain material in every sense of the word. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure and I thought Horvat was too passive as Captain. He should've called out forwards on the team making lazy backcheck attempts or at least one in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, he's emotionally invested and yes....takes it too hard at times. But that's better than indifference. People call it "lazy" but it's something different in my view...he gives up on plays as he becomes distracted/disappointed in what's just transpired more so than he doesn't feel like exerting himself. Most of the time, the play's out of his reach by that point anyhow. Sure, the optics aren't good but everyone has moments. His are just glaring for some. A lazy guy doesn't do some of what he does...they float. He hits hard, is engaged and also has some pretty nice end to end rush goals if you want to offset the one off's where he didn't backcheck, just look a little harder to see this guy isn't "lazy". Don't be blinded and stuck in "a" moment...I think he's done enough to prove that he's an asset and those moments can be forgiven. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocchet won't let him (or anybody else) with indifferent play so that's less an issue today imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He performed pretty well under Bruce, too. So don't just ignore that part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
