Haydnucks Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Horvats Captain material. Works as hard as anybody. Stable, married man. Charity work. Doesn’t complain about his line mates. Go to guy when you need to defend a late lead or score the tying goal. Great choice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the GM's job (or one of his jobs) to see a player's decline before it happens. Then trade that player. It's the NMC and NTC that make the matter really hard though. Yes, but not impossible, as history has shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the same Bo? Because we’re talking about Bo Horvat, who plays for the Vancouver Canucks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are talking about the Rangers where Messier was already the captain and led them to a Cup before Gretzky even joined them.

Sorry Guys BETTER OFF TO WAIT 2 MORE YEARS AND NAME PETTERSSON 2 reasons. Main reason. Bo is soft.... sorry to say it he doesn't stand up for the guys.... hes alot of talk no action. For example...When that boeser hit happened..... bo could have stood up and made a big check or a fight and showed the team he the leader will not stand for it. And showed them by example what is expected of the team in those situations. Instead..... crickets. Reason 2... when your best player is not your captian it can cause serious locker room problems. Bo is a great player but hes not pettersson. Yeah, you deserve a little flack for that comment....lol I know what you mean, a captain has to be able to lead by example, and be able one that all look up to. Pettersson, would be a great Captain, as his skill and dedication are exemplary, his focus crazy But to Bo credit, he is much the same, with a more robust style of play that gets a lot of attention around the league He will make a great Captain, as Petey will make a great assistant Captain I don't think you could go wrong either way, it is just that Bo has been leading by example for some time here I think he has the fellas confidence Just my opinion of course Enjoy your roasting......better you than me! 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHICAGO — Could there be a Captain Serious in Vancouver? Jonathan Toews seems to thinks so. When asked if there was a younger player in the league whom he admires, the Chicago Blackhawks centre did not hesitate to come up for an answer. “I always kind of recognize the guys who do have a ton of skill but are playing a two-way game and aren’t filling the net or getting the points every single night,” Toews said during Thursday’s Player Media Tour. “Bo Horvat is a guy who I like because of the way he works. If you go head-to-head with a centreman like that, you’re not going to have an easy night.” https://torontosun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/snapshots-canucks-horvat-gets-toews-nod-as-new-captain-serious Edited October 1, 2019 by Jimmy McGill 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftmN Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm very happy that the boys cleared waivers, I did not want to lose any of them. It will be very interesting to see what Goldy does down there, if he lets the demotion get the better of him or works his ass off to get back in the league. I have no doubt we will see Sven again.

I agree with snapshot 85. this place is full of catchphrases like Leading By Example. What example has Bo shown? Shapshot 85 has given an example of non-leadership or would you prefer to call it Sedin-leadership... punch me again leadership What is an example of Bo's leadership that puts him at the head of the team? Personally I'd prefer 2 years of Beagle, then re-assess 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd prefer 2 years of Beagle, then re-assess Bo has been given a lot of different players to play with, no consistency, yet does he complain? Nope. He's asked to play in all situations. First it was offense. He improves his offensive game. Oh no injuries have hit. We need you to be our defensive shutdown guy. No worries, he does that too, while getting points. Oh we need you to take all the important faceoffs. No problem, Bo will just lead the NHL in that category while also winning most of them. Bo just goes out and does what a leader does, by being an example. Bo shows a work ethic, and improves his game every single year. Bo is counted on in every situation. If that's not a leader, I don't know what is. I doubt Travis Green will be leaning on EP to play defensively as much as Bo. Even teammates call him Cap already. He's got the respect of management, coaches, and most of all his teammates, and most of us fans also. Bo is Captain Canuck, and it will be well deserved! 1 2 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they'll move on to complaining about the captaincy. Not who gets it, mind you, but the timing of the announcement. Well I for one will admit to being wrong about Baer not clearing....maybe.....he may still need to clear re-entry waivers ...which is when teams that want him would wait until to take him...

THe problemI see with Bo Horvat who plays for the Canucks is that he was ushered into the league under Sedin/Willie/ Green tutledge. YOu can add Trevor and Jim to that list. Pasicifists every one. It is 6 years since Torts was brought in to create a culture change, but the Sedin culturer outlived the Torts culture and the Horvat culture looks not different than the Sedin culture. So where is the change? In the last 6 years there have been a small handful of aggressive players,Sestito, Dorsett, Beagle, Roussell and hopefully Ferland. Ferland is the only one able to play up the line up. And then there is Schaller, Ericksson, Goldy, Hutton and Virtanen, where is the leadership driving those players to buy in and greatness? I was on Bo's side for a whole but the longer it goes the less likely I think he is capable of creating a new culture of "all for one and one for all" It seems like Justin Willaims could go into Carolina last year a create a winning culture over night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieVedder Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If theres one player on the Nucks roster I'd go into battle with, itd be Bo Horvat. For those that are suggesting he isnt captain material.. You have got to be kidding me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
