JT Miller has become the de facto captain of the Canucks over Bo Horvat

[BCNate]

Some people think that teams only have 1 leader. That is not how sports work.

Good on JT Miller, but this doesn't take away from Horvats role.

Whoever plays the Canucks in the first round will have their hands full, they are rolling as well as anyone right now.

They have to resign this guy.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Nobody really cares who the Captain is but the fans. It's a ceremonial role, like prom queen or POTUS.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

The same Bo Horvat that scored 2 of their 3 goals in the 3rd period?

Still, J.T. can put up more points than Horvat.

Winners go home and f*** the potus

Strip Bo of the C.

These arguments are for 12 yr Olds.

Nice to see Miller is a leader as well as a kick ass hockey player.

Now sign him up

Good things happening in Vancouver. That’s my read on it, anyhow. A bit of a shame they made the coaching change a couple weeks too late. But they still seem to have a shot at the playoffs. Wouldn’t want to meet them in the first round.

Thats only because JT Miller ordered him to do so during intermission before 3rd period

 

[Rabid Ranger]

It's not really a big deal, teams have leaders besides their captains.

Only in hockey do people make a big deal about "the captain."

You may be right but it's hard for fans to say for sure as we're not in the locker room.

JT Miller is such a great player. Still holding hope the Canucks trade him haha

I think he gets traded if he makes it clear he won’t re-sign here. But I think the trade would most likely happen at the draft.

While the "real captain" narrative of this is typical, make something out of nothing kinda discussion..
the talk of Miller being a captain-level leader is valid. He's been incredible, a clear catalyst of the club's upturn.

But Horvat is still Horvat. I see his own leadership qualities strengthening all the time.

He was mic'd up vs Montreal, see for yourself how he carries himself



It's great to have these dual leaders imo

 

[StickShift]

Only fair for me to eat my own crow and post a quote from Bruce Boudreau after their 6-3 win over New Jersey—where the coach praises Bo Horvat "as a true Captain tonight":

Fans that want drama, create drama, so that they can talk about drama on internet.

No one is in the rooms, so everyone should just stop with this nonsense unless a player speaks up about the C needing to change.
