Breaking news: Bo Horvat debunks "losing on purpose" conspiracy theories

[-DLC-]

NHL ticks me off...never have anything much to say about our team.   Hoglander could be a good story to write about as he's been pretty damn solid despite it all, but no, they come up with this National Hockey League Enquirer BS.

 

Garbage.  Stick to blocking pucks, Kevin.

These players have such pride, to suggest they lose on purpose is insulting.

 

They have spent years training and dedicating their lives to this sport, they are all playing for jobs. They lose, changes will come, and likely someone else can come in and steal their spot in the lineup as they all know how cruel this business is.

 

The Canucks media are dumb and straight up ridiculous. 

Sometimes I want to see this from the players when talking to the media.

 

 

Most recent beauty for this was Jakub Voracek

I’ve watched that video like 5 times. Can’t get enough of it haha

[Dumb Nuck]

Say it ain’t so Bo.

This fabricated scenario is borderline abusive to my sensibilities. Disgraceful journalism that has already taken up too much of my time. For those intrigued, knock yourselves out but this entire line is specious and is questionable fodder for a poll.

[Toyotasfan]

We’re not losing on purpose ,

Of Course we are playing this bad on purpose!

You don't think we are that bad unless we try, right!

I mean Loui got a head start, because he knew this was going to happen

Jacob and Chris knew what was going to happen and jumped ship

Too much pride to tank. I mean, come on, we don't have enough Calder candidates

I can't believe you'd even ask that!

Of course we are better than this.........we just don't give a $hit!

Man, JT was right, you guys just don't have a clue!

They may not be "trying to play bad" but they sure aren't giving 110% every night either. Holtby's stare down to Miller paints a pretty clear picture.

 

Even with hypnosis 110% isn't possible

The team is being told to go stand in the middle of the ice and intercept shots and passes. Pretty hard to win when you don't actually go get the biscuit.

Even if they were losing on purpose. No one is going to admit it, especially to the media.

Yeah I can't imagine Bo being like,

 

"Yeah guys, you got us, we are heartbroken that Tanev and Marky hitched a chuckwagon to Cowtown so now we are sabotaging our team's hopes of success based on nothing but utter self-loathing and our own doubt of our worth in our departed teammates eyes. And don't get me started on Toffoli. He just left for the poutine. F*** that guy."

If they are playing on purpose they should all be traded. Who gives a f if former players are not resigned its part of the business and players should not act like spoiled children. But at the end of the day I think the coach and the system is a big factor in the loses.

[Gurn]

Why would a player or players ever tank.?

All it does is give the g.m a better draft number, making it easier for the gm to get a player good enough to turf one of the current guys.

 

It would be like helping the your killer load his gun.

[DSVII]

Players would never intentionally lose games.

 

If god forbid this was the truth everyone should be on the trading block, that type of attitude is unacceptable.
