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?

i counted two here and no.

OP I think you are reading this wrong.

Just give Bo the C already he deserves it.  

EP is captain material but I never like having the superstar scorer as the captain.

Your right, who would want a Gretzky or a Lemieux or a Sakic or a Yzerman, Captaining this team. So silly. ::D

We get so much negativity from the rest of the league and the media..not sure why we have to rag on our own.

 

I'm sure Bo hates having to discuss the captaincy as much as anyone.  But his time is coming...I'm sure the Sedins will hand it over to him in something special.

 

I agree ... don't think it's really fair for Petey to take it on...let him go about his business of being the superstar.  The spotlight he's under is glaring at times...he doesn't need the extra added pressure.  Bo can address the media and be the workhorse that he is...reminds me of Linden in some ways.  Just goes about his business with class and dignity.

Uhhhhhh u serious ? I see absolutely zero wrong with his father's comments,  or his own. Litterally nothing .  I want a confident captain that shows he wants the job , not some guy that is afraid to be honest about it . What about this says anything negative ? Blows my mind how some people think.  He answer was perfect. 

 

He was asked a question and answered it . How the hell did u come to the conclusion he was "lobbing for the job". That's hilarious.  I actually thought you were actually kidding at first.

CHICAGO — Three of Canada’s seven clubs have a vacancy at captain and Bo Horvat says he is ready to fill the void for the Vancouver Canucks if called upon.

Horvat had a front row seat watching one of the best in Henrik Sedin for four seasons, learning what it means to lead. Now after serving as the Canucks’ de-facto captain last season following Sedin’s retirement, Horvat was asked whether he could be the one to replace him.

So what would you suggest he do?

Fans can discuss this stuff on a forum without the team taking it into account. The last thing Benning or Green should do is use fan opinion as a barometer for their choice, and I don't think they are.

 

Having an opinion that Horvat would be a good captain isn't disrespectful to the other potential candidates at all. It's an opinion. Now, if someone started a campaign, sure.

Most of us fans aren't stupid even if some of us act that way at times 

If the vast majority of fans want a certain player to be captain that's probably the right choice. 

Rick rypien was a huge fan favorite. I don't remember anyone lobbying for him to be captain. 

It's not a popularity contest. People just believe Bo should be a captain for a very good reason.

This.

 

He's just made of all the right stuff.  He does what's asked of him for the greater good of the team.  He's a workhorse.  He is fairly even keeled but also is tough and can answer the call.

 

He's composed and does well with the media.

 

He's been groomed for this from what I've seen.  And...is ready for and deserving of it.

I think I’d be fine with Bo Horvat as captain. The only things that concern me are that:

- he doesn’t hit enough for my liking. People compare him to Linden, but let me tell you Linden would hit a lot and often with genuine force and purpose

- fight? I think I’ve seen him in one, maybe two. Not that captains need to fight... Linden didn’t. But if he doesn’t hit much, doesn’t fight, what are his captaincy qualities? He can sometimes score key goals, but one uneasy memory I have is when Petey got gooned last season, and rather than pushing back, Horvat seemed way too focused on getting the next goal. 

Bottom line, he’s a mature guy, seemingly great teammate, wants to win, speaks well to the press, great with face offs, plays a 200 foot game, has good work ethic and is still relatively young. We could do a lot worse in naming a captain.

And the Canucks have been hinting Bo will be the next Captain.  I think it’s already done, and will be announced game one.

Looks like a captain to me. Notice it started from a big hit he dished out .......same with this one 

 

 

One of the greatest captains of all time hugging he way out of fights 

 

He doesn't need to hit or fight, even though when he has fought,  he did well . Some of the greatest captains never hit or fight . Steve yzerman had a grand total of 9 fights in his 22 year career.  Maybe that's why he called for the NHL to ban fighting outright.

The game Petey got gooned Travis Green told the team NOT to go after Matheson. If you want to blame anyone, blame Green.

 

Horvat challenged Matheson the next time they played Florida, on the opening face off. Matheson declined. Roussel mentioned it during the intermission that game....

 

He throws his body around every now and then. It’s a new league, big hits and fighting are slowly declining.
