He would play PK and take important Dzone draws. But he’s not ahead of Petey and Miller. That’s why we traded Bo. We traded from a position of strength to upgrade a position of weakness, top four D. Sure Miller could move to wing, but that isn’t what we wanted to do. We offered Bo 3C dollars. Just over 5 per. I like the Bo trade personally. It WOULD be nice to have the luxury of playing Miller with Petey (and Kuzy) again though. Hoping Raty works out and sooner rather than later. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't offer your captain a $5M extension after you just extended Brock Boeser for way more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean that enormous overreaction? Is this your opinion or is it more of a threat? You’re right. Tough guy bravado has definitely made way for entitled whining. Feelings and emotions are great but when they trump reason, logic and common sense, they become a distraction and a crutch. It’s not deflecting the point at all. It’s focusing right on it. What Horvat said was nothing. A comment. A portion of this fanbase saw it as a betrayal that caused them to spew vitriol at a person they once cheered for. Keep in mind that this player soldiered on through one of the worst times in this teams recent history and never complained or pointed fingers. Even when he was given the bums rush, he did it with class and respect. Phil.. we can not make excuses for a guy hat accepted the Captaincy in this city. perhaps some reflection on the responsibility to LEAD a team should have been understood. EP has even “deferred” from the topic and his name attached to “Captaincy” stating he is still working on his game and it might become a distraction to his full development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care how active in the community Hank was, for me, it’s not the same as being a leader in the room and on the ice. Being a fan favourite doesn’t make a player a great captain. Hopefully EP40 understands that beginning next season. I am with you on this, I measure greatness with what they do when it really counts. What Linden did in 94' puts him on the top of the list and it will take quite a feet to knock him off the #1 All time list. I don't remember too much of Smyl as I was young during his tenure but he carried similar attributes to Linden from what I remember. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, when Linden came into the league, he was staying with Smyl. So, he was learning from another warrior. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he was given the bums rush, he did it with class and respect. LOL a threat. That's cute. You can tell everyone to move on but when it's suggested you do the same it's suddenly somehow threatening? LMAO Bo maybe should have spoken up then instead of now? Shook things up a bit, as captain. If he was soldiering silently that's hardly effective. Maybe sticking up for Petey or Garland would've been more an act of soldiering. I was in his corner but I never ever did like that he didn't at least try in that respect. He had the right frame to be more physical out there but really rarely used it. Which is why I hold JT in such high regard...he may be a surly old crankpot at times, but that can be quite useful. And he goes to bat for the team and DOES speak up (look what happened during COVID). So that's a captain to me. Anyhow, you can only speak as to what the comment was "to you". Just because you say it was nothing doesn't mean...it's nothing. Because there's a lot of hoopla out there and would he really follow up if he thought it was nothing? It was dumb and he knows it. As the biggest homer here, it takes a lot for players to dip down a few notches with me but his words were uncalled for. No matter what the reason behind them...leave us out of it. We've moved on and interviews about ranking his experience in NY should focus on NY...his days here are done and now he just sounds disgruntled. 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
