I actually asked that question at the time. His exact answer was " He can't play hockey". Probably very harsh, but that's what he said. I'll ask next time I see him what he's primary issues were on the ice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't figured out how to process the game at the NHL level/speed. Edited August 14, 2021 by aGENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just went back in our texts. He actually said in a follow up text he was a "decent enough 7 string guy but expect him to take a lot of dumb penalties" kinda lines up with what you were saying. I asked if he thought he had any more upside and my buddy just said probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: this post is completely off topic and is irrelevant, and is intended for random/trivial chatter. @shayster007's friend's comment about Bowey "can't play hockey" reminded me of Drew Doughty's trash talking Patrick Maroon (and in no way am I saying @shayster007's friend is a jackass like Doughty): Whether Bowey can play or not in the NHL, he will, at the very least be one of the three guys currently in the Canucks organization to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup. Trivia: who are the two other current Canucks with name on the cup? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I don't believe Bowey looked out of place, kept his game reasonably simple but got the job done. Maybe it's maturity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's maturity I think with Poolman and Myers taking 44-46 minutes on the right side, Bowey, Schenn, and Burroughs are good enough to fill in the 14 minutes on the right side. There won't be anything better coming on the waiver wire. When Hamonic shows up, this will make us quite deep on that side. Too bad Keeper wasn't still around to fight for those minutes, I would have liked to see a bit of his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Keeper wasn't still around to fight for those minutes, I would have liked to see a bit of his game. I think Brad Hunts ability to play the right side as a LHD will be the one taking those 14 minutes. Schenn as 7th D. Once Hamonic is back Hunt will be 7/8th D OEL Poolman Hughes Hunt Juolevi Myers Schenn Obviously it's not an optimal D, but it is better than years past. Rathbone should beat out Juolevi, but team would probably prefer to develop him with big minutes (20+) in Abbotsford opposed to the 14/15 ish in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schenn will get that role for now, I think . They have a past working well together. He will settle things down for Quinn like Tanev did, until Hamonic comes an tags him out.

ruilin96 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I like his game. I really hope he can be a solid 3rd pairing D man for us going forward. He fits with the age group as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt is an okay guy on the bottom psi on a crap team. He should be in Abbotsford. But I think he’s our press-box popcorn eater, because he’s experience and plays both sides.
