Horvat doesnt look very good on the PK

 

[CherryToke]

Horvat with two assists and a corsi of -99

Horvat is gassed after one burst up the ice and he's in his f***ing prime.. Not sure how anyone could respect a captain like that

That year where he made the skating strides, I think he worked so hard in the off season- that he separated his approach from others. Lately, I think it appears that as a family man, he is living with more balance in his life and hasn't prepared with as much commitment.

And it is surprising to me that this hasn't been spoken about more.

If he wanted to be the best, this is all he needs to do- prepare like a beast. And it looks to me that Boes and Petey have done the same- taken their feet off the peddle and coasted a bit instead of looking to be the best.

I really thought these 3 were the perfect guys to take the mantle from the Sedins and just go and work harder than everyone else at getting better. This hasn't happened of late. I suppose we could suggest that the way ownership and management handled the last couple of years was demotivating, but still, step up, for goodness sake.

Agreed, Horvat and Boesers conditioning look poor. EP40 needs a good training schedule for off season.

 

[bbud]

I thought he was one of our best tonight.

He made 2 defensive plays that ended real chances and just played well outside 1 pass lol

 

[Hammman]

He got hit by Covid last season..

This is a good point to remember.

Well said.

And I will add, Hughes is the only one with Sedin level work ethic. The rest of them can f*** off

You said it with much more passion than I may have

I think Covid played a big role. Unlike other teams, basically every player on our team got hit with Covid and the long term effects varies randomly between people. I see Boeser, Bo amd Petey being crazy off as a result of that. Just imagine, like having any long term symptoms that bled into the summer would essentially wreck their whole offseason and if they fall behind, well this is the result. Bo tends to work his ass off every off season and we knew Boeser the off season prior worked his ass off and looked like different players and yet this season they look like shit and steps behind the play.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Fun game to be at. Captain's Room also open for first time since Covid started.

Can't complain.

 

[DFAC]

Myers was excellent tonight, what a change he’s been under BB

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

it's almost like they watched sutter and eriksson their entire careers and it rubbed off

 

[EpochLink]

Myers is really benefitting under BBQ Bruce.
What a change coaching can make.

 

[strattonius]

Don't know why Boeser is getting shade. He finally looks alive and is creating space and opportunities for himself.

 

[valkynax]

BBQ pep talk on the bench:

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Man the Pettersson Garland and Pod line looks good. They basically dominated whenever they were out. Thought the Canucks were the better team 5 on 5 the numbers reflect that too. Got to hit the net more and not pass to Pearson. Also how the hell did Chiasson not get benched after the second goal is beyond me.

Yeah, maybe Covid may have had some effect.

And I agree Bo used to work hard in the off seasons, just not sure he is anymore.

And I agree, after the back injury, Boes struggled, and then had one good off season where he worked hard, but I am not sure he did this last one.

And Petey looks like he did zero work on power this off season.

But the good thing is, they can fix it. It is just our leaders/best players need to be consistent to create a culture of excellence- and I am not saying that tongue in cheek

Pettersson never got COVID. He was away from the team with his mysterious wrist injury.
