shiznak Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) I came here for the Horvat banter…… I was not disappointed. Can’t really blame Bo on the comments he made. We can be just as toxic as Leafs and Habs fans. Remember this is the same fan base that ran Bure, Naslund, and Luongo out of town. Not even the Twins and Linden were exempt from being harassed with negative comments. Edited April 9, 2023 by shiznak 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not his fault the organization failed year after year. It hurts he said that but who can blame him? A lot of good players play on teams in stages of mediocrity, and some get traded, there’s just no reason to take a stab like that, especially when you are directly aiming that at your ex-teammates.. what does that say about you as a person? His comments make me think, our future is brighter without someone like him captaining our team.. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think his comments was more so directed to the management group and their lack of building a playoff team, during his tenure. I mean, we were pretty much out of the playoff picture every single year by mid February, aside from his rookie season. Nothing much to cheer for, when you’re playing meaningless games in early late February - early March. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more on the organization especially the deteriorating relationship this season. Which is fair I've worked in companies where I generally like my team and have nothing but good things to say but just got fed up with the company as a whole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they don’t make the playoffs this year, he’s right back in that situation for his entire contract, which is I guess irony? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post R3aL Posted April 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) F Bo lol. he looks petty now. He can enjoy his maybe 1-2 years of play-offs then being stuck with an aging core going no where playing boring losing hockey, not producing and not having fun and being criticized for his big contract and lack of production at some point during it. While watching us fly high with a growing super star core and losing the love And respect of our market. sedins, linden, luongo hell messier you name a player wouldn’t have made that unsolicited comment. Bad look no matter what way you spin it or walk it back. was unnecessary. He didn’t even say the canucks he said Vancouver. Trade looking better every day.

RWJC Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 2 hours ago, steviewonder20 said: What’s the big deal with Bo’s comments? First, so many folks here are crapping on him that he could have been a lot harsher. Second, I’ve lived on Long Island and I live in BC; I have no trouble believing New Yorkers are more lively than folks in Lotusland and the suits that can afford tickets. Not just that, it’s what he represents to the fanbase. They arguably signed the biggest UFA to be who might just be the piece that helps them into the playoffs. Of course that crowd will be in love with him. Especially right now. Let’s see what they think of him a few more years into that deal. I can imagine their message board now given how vocal they already are. I think Bo will have to become stronger on the D side of his game to earn the contract value and as he regresses into a 3rd liner. He will be surpassed on the F depth chart by more dynamic offensive players within 3 years, imho. Let’s see how he’s embraced then. Think that will mostly depends on or be defined by what the Isles achieve this and next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Captain a team with next to zero success and preside over an outright toxic locker room, and wonder why the fanbase isn't as adoring as the team you just went to, drastically overpaid you, and is currently in a playoff chase. We'll see how well those comments age when the contract is nearing its end, the Islanders aren't competitive, your salary is a boat anchor and the fans that still show up are screaming at you about your jammies. I'm sure you'll feel supported. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 1 hour ago, DownUndaCanuck said: What a stupid classless thing to say, obviously he doesn't care what Vancouver thinks and probably is trying too hard to enamour himself to the Isles fans (especially after such a poor run), but he was the captain of this team saying he wanted to finish his career here literally just a few weeks ago. If you can turn on your former team that quickly be careful Isles fan, one trade to your rivals and he'll turn on you too. Trade Horvat? Do you want that contract now??

Trebreh Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Bo Whorevat is trying to win over the Islanders fan base because he will be the most overpaid 3rd line center in NHL history very soon. It's funny how he talks this shit after he finally scores a non empty net goal. I hope this franchise don't forget this disrespect and give him a lame ass tribute video. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pointing out that respectable legends like the Sedins and Linden recommended him as captain so it's pretty disappointing he turned out to be a moronic tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoosh Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 He could have picked his words more carefully and got the same info out of his mouth doing so. He probably isn’t wrong with what he said tho. Just how he said it will rub the wrong way for a lot of Canucks fans. I won’t take it as an insult. It is what it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
