Elvistein Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Bo needs to Go... I have been a fan from the beginning. But these past couple of years, he is plain vanilla. He reads from a script after the games and during the games he doesn't try to drag his team into any games with a big hit, or getting into the tough areas in front of the net. It is embarrassing to say the least. If a team takes it to you early like that - get mad, get angry out there, show some emotion on the ice and on the bench. instead, he disappears and that is not what is going to get this team to a Stanley Cup any time soon. He is in his prime, and we could probably get a good return. Keep Miller, give him the "C" and lets build a winner around Demko, Hughes, Petey and Brock. Petey was throwing his body around tonight... good to see, but bad to see he led the team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Halak actually managed to get farther away from his 250k bonus tonight. Time to accept a trade Jaro! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s that you say? He was run with a dirty hit without any pushback too? Welp. I guess Sautner and Hunt will have to do! Do we have anyone capable of pushback not named Schenn ? Anyone having pushback that is a regular part of their skill set. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) 37 minutes ago, Canucks Curse said: not very constructive, care to elaborate on why ? the leadership on this group is poor Horvat is a top six player who can get you 50+ points, win the majority of his faceoffs and play well defensively as a shutdown center... a first rounder would not replace him. He has not played well the last few games, but I think that is a function of the fact BB has shifted his role from shutdown center to #1 Offensive line center... and he is having trouble doing that... he is not a #1 line center. Boudreau tried him with Pettersson's line and now he is trying him with Miller's line... not what Bo is best at. Put him back in his shutdown role with a couple of decent wingers... he works with Pearson and Dickenson. And yes, Bo needs to hit more... but he can be told that... no need to trade him.

I mean the funny thing is I have a hunch we play better with an AHL D core. Something about the mix of this team just doesn’t work. They don’t know how to focus on the basics of the game. It’s like they’re looking for shortcuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on the cycle Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Went to the game feels like a waste of time and money. At least my girlfriend had fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team says all the cliches like “big test” and “easy game to get up for” and then fall on their faces. I get that going down 3-0 off of some unlucky deflections is deflating but the way they responded after that was telling. They came unravelled and started taking bad penalties. If they right the ship and regain their composure after that third goal, they have a chance to win that game.

PuckTruckCanuck Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Bruce There It Isn’t! Seems like Bo Horvat has not taken his game anywhere since the BB hiring. He’s not leading by example. JT is the quintessential leader of this team. move Horvat, Pearson, Dickinson, Give Hogz some leeway. Demko has played like crap since he got a new mask. kiss the post season goodbye after that performance in a must win game.

*Buzzsaw* Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 This team plays better with balanced lines... not loading up the #1. Miller should be centering Boeser and Garland as the #1. Horvat should be back centering the #2 line with Pearson and Dickenson in primarily a shutdown role. Pettersson should be centering Podz and Hoglander as #3 line Lammiko centering Motte and Highmore as #4 Dickenson is the weak link... he is the guy who should be traded... he is ok defensively, but is useless offensively. If they can find someone who can score and complement Horvat then a lot of the problems are solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
