Leadership is nuanced and there are many styles of it. Just cause YOU don’t agree with how he lead on the service does not mean he wasn’t a leader. And having a good leadership group is just as important as who the captain is. This team is getting there imo this offseason is a big one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you’re finally starting to grasp this. Your really trying to take control of a snow ball head for hell , you ride it out cowboy. I highly recommend the Bag Balm used by Ranchers and Farmers alike for your chafing . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And see the brain cell comment and numerous other insulting comments about him shows your inability to have rational discussion. Lol.. try it .. it will change your perception, and bring you back to reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eeeeergh Posted April 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2023 Bo was a good player Pretty decent leader Unfortunately suffered through some pretty brutal years here Not one of our greatest captains though - Linden, Luongo, Sedin, all better captains imo. Wanted too much money for what he offers, all the best to him in NYI 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Naslund Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I’m excited to see Bo in the playoffs. I want to see this “playoff Bo” everyone is raving about. The “playoff Bo” is who averages 0.69 PPG compared to his usual regular season 0.67 PPG. He’s been on a horrible cold streak of late though so as is the case with streaky players, he’ll probably catch fire for round 1 of the playoffs before disappearing again. Would much rather be in our position than NYI going forward 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe Knows Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Whichever side of the Horvat issue one is on a coupleof things seems pretty obvious to me. First it was a good trade as his production has totally fallen off since the trade, maybe that's a result of the NYI system being more defensive or maybe he's just returning to the 50 + point player he has been up to this year. Second, looking at the change in the team chemistry, and also the change is JT's attitude, it seems Bo may have been a locker room problem, at least with Miller....or maybe it's all just coincidence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their majority aging out players are in the bottom 6 not on too long of term and mostly replaceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been said that he picks it up in the playoffs and that he steps his game up. He’s never had many opportunities so I’m taking this as an opportunity to be proven wrong.

Lee, Nelson, Pageau, Palmieri, Cizikas all old and on expensive + long contracts. They gave us their best prospect, and traded away their 2023 1st, they dont really have anyone waiting in the wings, or much by way of assets to improve further. This iteration of NYI is likely the best we see before they go back into rebuild/accumulate prospects mode 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People aren’t happy with his playoff performance for no reason. He was shades of Kesler vs Nashville that series.

He scored in two games and then had no points for the final 4 games of the series but sure we can call that “carried”. Shades of Kesler ok but nowhere near as impactful or impressive as Kesler in that Nashville series. Kesler had a few 3 point games, a few 2 pointers and hit the scoresheet games 2-6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesler had a few 3 point games, a few 2 pointers and hit the scoresheet games 2-6 Didn’t he finish tied for fourth in the league for goal scoring in the 2020 playoffs? And he played fewer series/games than those ahead of him. I guess that’s not stepping up? He should have finished first? Bo Horvat had many flaws in his game, he was not worth 8.5 million - this contract is the product of him having all the leverage on Lou, and he wasn’t the best captain in team history.. but the bitterness here is jaded girlfriend that just got dumped caliber. I wish the guy all the best, I’m more worried about our team. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
