Ted Lasso Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Quick poll on his extension… a) it’s already done, to be announced on Monday b) history is repeating itself and Pat Morris is battling Lou Lam for $ c) Bo will hire a new agent d) Bo has zero interest in signing with NYI, and heads to UFA e) I don’t care, I’ve moved on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need to add that I'm a huge Bo fan as a player and person. That said, I lose all respect for him if he signs with the Isles long term. The team has little to no chance of winning a cup for a long while and it would say a lot about his desire to win a championship to sign up there for 7 or 8 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 29 minutes ago, Kenny Powers said: Dance was right about the Horvat trade making us worse for the next 2-3 years, in a vacuum. Also agree that trading Demko will signal a longer process, and whatever trades we make now will be very telling as to JRPA’s plans. Would love for management to give an updated target timeline for being competitive. Call it 25/26, so we can make moves accordingly, and the fan base can set their expectations. Even the biggest simpleton on CDC coulda told you this. Lol. We traded him for 2 futures and a 3rd line winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has some good hockey knowledge for sure, I just think he’s an annoying leafs homer and a mouthpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fun to watch when the Leafs are failing, which over the last few years, has been often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dizzle Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 4 hours ago, eeeeergh said: Bo's never been a defensive C We pidgeonholed him in that role because we had nobody better But if ny thought they were getting a selke caliber 1C.. man.. they are in for a disappointment My comment was simply that I wouldn’t be surprised if he showed he could excel as a two way centre in the mold of Bergeron/ROR on a defensive minded team. He’s a competitive guy and a good athlete. 4 hours ago, Harold Drunken said: Same thing, calling Bo the "type" of player that can be so good defensively he could win or be nominated for the Selke. No matter what noun you use, putting them in the same sentence is a comparison of abilities. They aren't even on the same planet is that aspect, therefore I don't see him being that "TYPE" of player. Wow, you know what I’m saying better than I do. That’s stinking impressive! What I thought I was saying was that on a defensive structured team Bo might embrace the type of role a guy like Bergeron or ROR does for their respective teams… a two way centre who excels at both end of the ice. I obviously made a huge mistake in thinking the word ‘type’ could extend beyond a direct and absolute comparison in skill rather than a stylistic comparison in play. nonetheless, I apologize and bow down to your superior mental acuity. 4 hours ago, MattWN. said: Umm, no he isn't. I don't know where people get this two-way C idea, but his defensive metrics are (and always have been) average at best. He is a terrible match up C, besides being good on the dot he doesn't have any of the skills ROR or Bergeron possess. Horvats production is bound to drop off a cliff with the Isle. 1/3 of his points have come on the PP, and he's going to a team with a league worst powerplay @ 15%. NYI are a way more structured defensive focused team, 4th best PK, and they score over half a goal less per game than Vancouver. I agree his production will drop. I do think he may surprise people in Vancouver with his ability to play a matchup two way centre game, but we will see for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RUPERTKBD Posted February 4 Popular Post Share Posted February 4 A couple of "apropos of nothing" observations ('cause it's slow at work and I'm bored)...... 1 - People are upset with the way Miller treated Delia and I agree, it was kind of harsh.....but....If you were watching Delia in that situation and not yelling "WTF are you doing!" at the TV, I have to question your hockey knowledge..... 2 - Bo is "gutted" or "blindsided", etc by the trade....That honestly confuses me. My understanding is that the 'Nucks pivoted to negotiations with Miller after talks with Bo's camp were unproductive. Is that wrong? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stand cheech, I’m sorry if it’s an unpopular opinion. Nice guy. But my god man, enough with the food stories and I don’t find him too insightful.
