No twins. Just Bo.

BoJangles BoJesus. Much honour.

 

[Intoewsables]

Way to go, Bo!

 

[BassMason]

Hot diggity dog! May the wiener dogs be with you BoHo!

 

[tiny103]

All-star Bo.

 

[y2kcanucks]

His contract just got more expensive. WD probably wondering why the All Stars would want a checker for their team.

Congrats to Bo...definitely well deserved.

 

[J Canuck]

He deserves it.

 

[Kryten]

the NHL created the John Scott rule plus no fan votes yet still got a 4th liner in the All Star game, right Willie?

 

[Canucks LB]

Damn nice 200k for playing well.

 

[Intoewsables]

His contract just got more expensive.

On the bright side, this probably means we have no cap space to bring back someone like Miller or Gudbranson.

Bo is the gift that keeps on giving.

Haha I was thinking the same thing.

He deserves it.

Really happy for BH, its great to have a guy like him on our side. Of course he's a good player but more than that he's a great guy who works so hard and thats his best trait IMO.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Oh man are non-Canucks fans annoyed that Horvat made it

 

[sting101]

Yes he's been our best player.

Willie must be in shock his 4C made the all star game?

Congrats Bo......looks like were gonna be paying north of 5m on his next contract and I'm ok with that. No better pro

 

[Canucks LB]

Cracks me up WD had him as a fourth liner to start the year

 

[coastal_nuck]

Great for Bo. He's a player that is easy to be excited about. Good to have him at least in the up and coming next core for this team.

NGL I'm pretty excited to see Horvat with a real coach, even if it's just a gimmick game

Good job bo bo. Exciting to think he's only 21. He's still 4-5 years from his prime. Kid is gonna be a stud. Lock him up

Good. Let the jimmies rustle through them.

 

[TruGr1t]

Good for him. Doesn't particularly say good things about the franchise, however, that a player on pace for 55-60 points is your all-star rep. Talk about a lack of elite talent.

Scoring around the league is low, it is what it is.

It's not so bad in a league where nobody will likely get to 90 points.

Very happy for Bo and nice to see this passing of the torch.

Also I wonder what Willie thinks about his checker - if it were up to him it would be Sutter all the way.

 

[tantalum]

Not going to argue the handling of the goaltending by Gillis but the one thing Gillis knew he needed to do in all of that was get a player to build the future around in some capacity. It was a must (just like the same things can be said of the #6 and #5 overall picks).

Well that appears to have been achieved. That return has turned out to be the best forward on the team this year, his third pro season, and continues to get better.

I'm not sure he's going to be a superstar or anything, but he's going to be a very key piece of the team moving forward. Foundational you might say.
