Called up. Still no word if he's supposed to play tonight. He didn't play last night for Utica, so maybe they were resting him for tonight?

Hes gotta play, how can they call him up and make him practice, hes hungry

No Nux morning skate but likely healthy scratches Bo Horvat and Ryan Stanton plus suspended Alex Burrows on the ice. #Canucks

Pap seems to think Horvat will be a healthy scratch.

Did horvat get any points in utica ?

Doesn't look like it but he may have been on the 4th line (with AHL 4th liners) and got no PP time.


I like the idea of sitting him today and getting him in next game.

I hope not. Sestito is useless.

Ryan Stanton is a healthy scratch with Sbisa and Weber in the lineup? hahahahahahahhahahahahahahdgaklsdjglasjdg

Agreed, it's a joke that he's not in

I'm a Stanton guy but I'm not surprised that they don't want to fiddle with a lineup that has won 4 in a row.

 

[Canucks LB]

Keep the winning coming, bring stanton in when we lose a game. I don't see it the end of the world like many people here do.

It shows confidence in the players who are playing, and also puts them on edge to perform well.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

If Stanton is healthy, play him

 

[Wilch]

Scratching Stanton in favour of Weber and Sbisa is pretty ****ing stupid if he's ready to hit the ice.

Scratching Stanton in favour of Weber and Sbisa is pretty ****ing stupid if he's ready to hit the ice.

For whatever reason, Sbisa is playing better hockey with Weber than Stanton and Weber is also playing great. Sometime you don't mess with a winning line-up even if it means a better player is sitting out.

Also Weber can play on the 2nd PP unit, Stanton can't (nor is he a RHS). I guess you could make the argument of Stanton > Sbisa but at the same time Sbisa has been playing very good hockey and even contributing a bit offensively.

Basically you really can't go wrong playing Stanton/Sbisa/Weber right now, which is a good thing. I would just follow the saying of don't fix what isn't broken. The only change i might make is get rid of Sestito in favor of Horvat than Burrows since the winning streak started with Burrows in the line-up.

Horvat staying for the full two weeks. It sounds like he'll be back on Sunday for the home game vs Nashville.

 

[Pip]

I'd have to imagine there's no way he isn't in next game. Very interested to see what we do with the entire bottom 6.

Thanks , that's rather underwhelming...

Nux GM Jim Benning also says Tom Sestito has upper-body injury and that Bo Horvat will make his NHL debut Tuesday. #canucks

Interesting that he was seen on cruches after the game

Papp got it wrong, the Canucks tweeted out lower body out indefinately for Sestito.

Either way, I'm excited to see Horvat play tomorrow.

Ah that adds up then haha

I am excited for Bo as well, I think he has the ability to be a real boon to this team, and could really make a good impact at the NHL level. I like the way he plays the game, its something I think the Canucks have needed more of over the last few years

 

[btdvox]

I think this team needs Bo.

His speed seems to have gotten better this year, he's killer on the dot and defensively a boon.

If he can produce a bit this year than I think he stays on the team.

Since Horvat's conditioning stint is up, we can continue chatting about him in the Horvat discussion thread.
