theo5789 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Haven't really followed the conversations here, but the take I get is that if Green says something, he's doing something wrong. If he doesn't say something, then he's a lame duck coach that shows no care for his team. Oh and Bo Horvat is now not a good enough captain apparently (despite having one of his best seasons to date). Why do these conversations always appear after every loss (even in the midst of quite an incredible run)? Hmm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of my favorite Canucks ever. But, I would like to see a little more from him at times. Sometimes a captain has to step up and get into it. Henrik didn't have that in him but I'm hoping Bo can find it. Again, Bo is a gamer and in no way am I questioing his "try". He's a battler. He's a little to gentlemenly at times though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Bo, as captain, has to lead by example. Players look up to their captain, if he's going to war, then the rest will follow. But what I see is guys like Roussel and Beagle (bottom 6 players) that go to war, and Bo is basically invisable. Real good at faceoffs though. I like Bo, I have his jersey, but I would like to see a little more passion from him. Whether that's laying out some crushing hits or even dropping the gloves once in a blue moon to get his team going. Maybe he's still learning, or maybe he learned from how Henrik played. Respect everyone and play nice. Edited February 5, 2020 by NUCKER67 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night after night we get little to zero breaks from the officiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do these conversations always appear after every loss (even in the midst of quite an incredible run)? Hmm. It’s the lack of response from the team. We get pushed around a lot and I think the fan base is tired of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 This is what Bo needs to do. Score Goals Rack up points Takes important faceoffs in every zone Be first line Pp and ensure it scores Score even Strength Score Shorthanded Lead the team on the ice Answer tough questions to media Be gritty Fight and Hit. what else guys?

Boys on 1040 just feed from these boards. It is amazed me that "professionals" are stealing ideas for a talk show from public forum. Also, post game analysis from some members here (James B for example) are much deeper than those from radio guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get pushed around a lot and I think the fan base is tired of it. Yes and if Green says something about it, it's blasted. If he says nothing, he's blasted. There have been a select few games where we have been pushed around. A response is good and all, but sometimes a response is what the opposition is trying to get from you especially if they're more built to play that way. Some nights, staying focused works, some nights it doesn't. 6 minutes ago, NeilColville said: Yup. He needs to be more vocal with the refs. Night after night we get little to zero breaks from the officiating. I believe we have drawn one of the most, if not the most, penalties in the league. Bo is likely being vocal but probably trying to show respect for the refs (even if they don't deserve it). We simply don't see/hear everything that is going on on the ice.
