Bo comments on captaincy again..

[Rush17]

This is the like the fourth time he's talked about the captaincy in the last two years. First his dad came out saying he would be a great captain in Vancouver and here is another comment from Bo himself.

 

Personally I find this distasteful and extremely gross. If you are meant to be captain you shouldn't have to publically lobby for it. It is an honour given and him even expecting his name in the conversation bugs me. 

 

I think he should stop talking on the matter. Let things play out. Does this bother anyone else?

To answer the question....no, it does not bother me. It should be Bo and it's overdue.

I can't speak to the other references you made, but in this context, he's obviously answering a direct question. 

 

I agree in a sense, though. I don't like the way that bo was annointed captain the day he was drafted. 

[TU90]

I doubt he's bringing it up. The media keeps asking him the question, and he keeps answering it in the best way possible.

No he was probably asked about the captaincy, just giving his honest answer. He is ready for it, there is a 90% chance it will be him. 

 

I dont think I could ever be bothered by the words Bo speaks, he is a saint.

I don't see a problem with what he said at all.  

 

1) Bo is probably the best or at least one of the best candidates for captain on the team

2) He's just responding to a question, it's not like he's the one calling out the Canucks to name him.  If the question was, "Do you think you're ready to be the next captain of the team" what would you expect him to say?  No, I'm not ready?  I think he answered it perfectly

Your take on it is gross and disgusting.  I cant believe you are bothered by his name being mentioned alongside the word captain.

He is being asked about it because we are now another year without one and he is the most favourable candidate for it. He is great in pre and post game interviews, he leads with his work ethic on ice. He is very down to earth and has a great attitude and hey guess what HE WANTS TO BE PART OF THIS TEAM THAT BAD. He WANTS to be our leader

[Rush17]

It sounds like I was missing the context of the statement.  I haven't been a fan of his desire for the captaincy in the past. Clearly my bias towards him being captain is bleeding through here. 

 

I haven't been a fan of his past comments which were not all questions.

Some people just need to find fault with others. Must make them feel better about themself or something 

[xereau]

It's been over the team too long already, is the problem. Should have been handed over the last game with the Sedins.

I bet if you look back, they were probably all questions from local media who needed something to write / talk about.

Lol thank you... love me some Bo lead by example style of play. Calm, Composed, Good Canadian Kid.

[zombieksa]

I am in the camp that thinks they may be waiting for Pettersson to take the reigns as leader in the room. If Bo doesn;t get it this year I am seriously worried he wont get it at all. 

 

[NUCKER67]

Boy are people going to be surprised when Sutter is given the C lol

Okay, seriously, Bo is the next Captain,. This is the worst kept secret in VAN.

[PhillipBlunt]

He was asked a question, and he answered. Not sure what the issue is here.

 

He's really the perfect candidate. Giving it to Pettersson would be a mistake.

How many times has both Tavares and AM been asked about taking the C in TO? Like over 100 I bet ...does that make them terrible leaders or something?  And if your Dad is asked the question what’s he supposed to say?  He’s terrible?  Wow this is trolling.  Optics have named him captain for two years now as H Sedins successor - there really is little not to like about it as a fan. 

[EdgarM]

I am good with waiting it out. The last couple of Captains it seems it was thrown on them when I am not sure they were the right choices. I would really like to see who stands out in a couple of playoff games to see who really stands out. That and our young guys are still developing. No real hurry at this point other then the team wanting a bit of publicity for their 50th year celebrations.

[Down by the River]

This will be Bo's 6th season as a Canuck... and this is probably the third season where he has been asked about the captaincy (ever since the Sedins announced they were retiring). 

 

I think he is a great candidate for the captain. Both him and Petey will also understand that they don't need a "C" to be a leader. 

 

Of all the things to whine about...

We get that it bothers YOU because YOU clearly and admittedly want Pettersson to be captain.  YOU need to be (better) prepared for Horvat's eventual donning of that letter, and in the meantime YOU should not only expect these questions and conversations to happen, but YOU should be able to handle it without continuing to emote about it.  Especially when Horvat doesn't even bring it up himself, and is just responding to questions. 

 

Answered a question posed to him a whole four times in two years?  Oh, he's just so overly-ambitious!
