Popular Post Itchyfinger Posted October 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 It seems with hamonic somewhat of a question mark, the fan mob has panicked.How’ the team going to replace him and who can we trade to find a decent righty d-man. When the replacement is right here, Madison Bowey. I just find it funny that nobody pointed out that this guy can maybe fill the right side vacancy left but hamonic. Decent size at 6’3, and a ton of potential. Played well in Detroit a couple seasons ago, before being traded to Chicago, where it seems he couldn’t adjust. The one thing most scouting reports say is he’s a great skater. Perfect, if being paired with the teams young shifty skating left side (Rathbone/Hughes) someone who can skate with them. Don’t need to replace a older veteran with another older veteran. Younger and faster and even cheaper. 1 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Bowey? Do we really need him? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliPeterson40 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Really liked him in the game last night. Thought he was very responsible in his own end and even got involved offensively with the nice dish to set up Petan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindiculous Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Welcome to the forum! Yah, I gotta agree. Bowey has looked pretty decent so far and he never got much of a shot in Chicago. I've never watched him play on Detroit, so I wouldn't know but it'd be great if he was a diamond in the rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) You may be on to something with Bowey. I want to see more. That give and go play he did with Miller in yesterday's game ... the one where he gave it to Miller, skated behind the net to the other side of the ice where Miller hit him with the cross ice pass ... that was great chemistry with Miller, great reading the play, and fantastic, high level anticipation. Was truly impressed by him yesterday. Edited October 5, 2021 by Dr. Crossbar . 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Fair assessment, as long as they can avoid whatever caused him to not pan out in Washington (he was a highly touted pick too) we should have something solid, if only a decent RHD. As long as they don't overvalue him for his draft pedigree or play him too much (he was acquired for defensive ED fodder, after all) we should at least have more RH depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Great point. I think he played really well yesterday and would like to see more. I want the Canucks to cut everyone else and play the guys that are legitimately playing for a spot alongside the ones that are locks. No offense but I don't need to see Borroughs, Dries, focht, Bailey, Dowling etc I want to see Podz, Gadj, Lockwood, McEwan, Petan, Di Giuseppe, Highmore Hunt Juolevi Bowey Rathbone That's pretty much it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really impressed me last game seemed like he could be really good as the 4C with Sutter out. Seems sorta like Motte. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have 3 Mottes on the fourth line with Lockwood, Dowling, and Motte. All have great speed, and all seem very good defensively for the most part. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck-lifer Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Agree on Bowey, I believe if he can maintain his ground control, adapts to changes, it could bring him some FAME. regards Major Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really noticed Dowling much but maybe that's a good thing when in consideration for a 4th line role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I watched Bowey live in Kelowna, his last year of junior. He was playing alongside Josh Morriesy and back then I felt Bowey was more powerful and dynamic. Hope he earns a spot and helps this team if/when called upon. Reclamation project with lots of ability. Hope he gets more confidence and sticks with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Wasn’t traded to Chicago. Detroit didn't think much of him so they let him go to free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyCupOneDay Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Definitely liked what I saw last game. He wouldn’t be the first late bloomer d-man who blossoms in his mid-late 20’s either. I hope Green rewards him from his excellent performance on Sunday and decides he gets to play tomorrow. I think he needs a much closer look/examination given the uncertain Hamonic situation the team currently faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My good buddies favorite team is Detroit. When we traded for Bowey I asked him about his time in Detroit. He said that Bowey was generally pretty terrible and shouldn't be in the lineup regularly if you want to win hockey games. Personally I didn't watch any Red Wing games besides the ones where we would have been playing them, but I trust his opinion on guys I don't see often. Not sure if op watches Detroit games regularly, but the only first hand I have is he definitely didn't play well. We were expecting Hamonic to be playing top 4 minutes, and stabilizing one of Hughes or OEL. I really don't believe Bowey is a Harmonic replacement. He may be a short term answer on the bottom pairing if we can't find anything better, but I can't see him being any sort of actual fix if Travis misses and meaningful amount of time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Bowey is a 7th Dman who can fill in for injuries. We have Schenn in that role already so I don't see him making the club. He'll probably end up in Abby as he will probably clear waivers. If Hamonic doesn't show up then I think Benning has to explore a trade. Schenn looks alot slower this year. He won his two cups so not sure what his motivation is to play right now on a minimum wage contract. I'd still take him over Bowey though, so it's nice to have him as a 7th Dman. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard times and he doesn’t have much time to stay in the show if he doesn’t preform. he looked good last game. Has hustle, size and skating. We have a hole and injures. It’s like JB planned for this and is prepared for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected Bowey's game to translate well to the NHL ........I'd love to see him catch on on Van 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RecklessReilly Posted October 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2021 Bowey hit me harder then anyone has ever hit me in a bantam tournament in Minnesota. Could hardly breathe for about 10 mins So I hope he gets cut 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
