Here one of the last things he said when Higgins was in pre season playing against us.

"something something the room doesn't support him a ton already"

thanks!

You chastise others for writing off Canucks prospects despite some poor body of work in the NHL, but you right off Tkachuk after 3 NHL games.

It's just my opinions.
People can call Virtanen a bust all they want but I can't say Tkachuk won't be a 1st liner?

 

[Serac]

Missed it, what were they referring to?

They were discussing Horvat and questioning him being on the 4th line when he was essentially our best player at the end of last year

Missed it, what were they referring to?

Why Horvat would be on the 4th line.

Kypreos said Horvat was one of our best players in the 2nd half and why wouldn't we want him to continue that, instead of playing him on the 4th line.

Then Friedman basically said, "I dunno.... I am just trying to think of reasons why they'd do this"

I can't blame anyone in that line lol

Horvat on the 4th line is working out great I see.

 

[Canucks LB]

You definitely did if you are spending the whole game on HF.

After 2 periods, ice time for Canuck centers:

Henrik: 11:46
Horvat: 10:56
Granlund: 10:52
Sutter: 10:36

Sutter is our 4th line center!

The lowest ice time among Canuck forwards was Virtanen at 6:05, Dorsett at 6:58 and Burrows at 7:34. Virtanen was out for part of the 1st period hurt, the others were to be Bo's linemates-and the only forwards with more time than Bo so far are the Sedins, Eriksson and Hansen.

In shots on goal, Bo, Gudbranson and Larsen lead the team, tied with ... 2 !?!

Willie Desjardins has no respect around the league or within the media.

He seems to walk on eggshells when talking about the Canucks and it's a shame. I enjoyed Friedman takes on the Canucks through the years

Bo needs to buy Dorsett dinner tomorrow

All I am saying is that it's way too early to say Tkachuk is not going to become a 1st liner.

Everything.

How do you post on hfboards on your phone? It's so awkward.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Up until now I thought Willie was daft but pretty harmless, and perfectly fine for a team in our situation.

I no longer think this. He is a dangerous idiot.

 

[The Stig]

Weber has a dip in while doing the video piece. Amazing

Thanks guys!

So the guy who buys my tickets (for a group of 3 or 4 others as well) had the tickets tonight and he gave them away to anyone who wanted them for nothing. Tells you something.

And the Horvat situation - he gets 4th line minutes, but also time on the PP and the PK. Its not as dire as made out on here. And Granlund needs supporting players more than Horvat. I understand it sort of, even if i don't like it.

Rope a dope strategy....just you wait & see!

I'm depressed.

Nonsense. 2 periods into one game is more than a sufficient sample size. Usually we've got these guys figured out by their draft year.

Montreal Canadiens!! Who called it?

Not really.
