He was a great captain. Cunucks just plain Suuuuuuuck!
I think when Bo goes back to Vancouver it will be mix booos and cheers not like when JT came back to Long Island.
I hope ny island get knockout in 4 game's
Nope didn't have any success under him.
I hope the isles do well so the pic we traded away is worse š
Never felt he was a good captain. Great for the community, but it felt like he was forced into the role as there was no one else.
He disappears at times when things aren't going for him, and he never seems to rock the boat much either (either than him calling out Virtanen during practice).
I always believe a captain has to lead by example like Henrik being constantly an offensive threat, or like Linden being a presence on the ice that is respected by both the opposition and the referee.
Bo never seem to have those same qualities. Not his fault, just square hole and round pegs and all.
Everyone loved Bo until he said that he liked playing for a winning team going to the playoffs more than a perennial mushy middle to bottom feeding team that is missing the playoffs… again. He can't solo a team to success, he did everything he could. I think Canucks fans are just salty because they don't like a former player saying that their current team is better than the Canucks.
Once barzal comes back Boās stats will be back where he was
Simply. No.
Obrien was in Vancouver for barely 2 years, during the height of the success of the Canucks. Why would anyone care about his opinion?
Living in Vancity, the way I see it is like comparing Bo to Larkin. Both had to develop on their own, through a tough rebuild and both are being constantly critized about being the captain. The only difference is that the Canucks management F'd up the rebuild by giving outrageous contracts and extended Miller instead of Bo.
Saying our fans are only great when the teams playing great and going deep in a Stanley cup runsā, is actually the signs of a crappy fan base!
I'll make my final decision once the Islanders media turns on him. That will show me if he realizes its not a Canucks thing, its a you suck thing.
You canāt blame Bo for the lack of success any more than you can blame Naslund or Luongo. The one playoff run he had he was a beast. Unless youāre expecting him to be a centre, captain and defensive defenseman all at the same time, I donāt know what people were expecting. It wasnāt his fault the D have been awful. But he took the brunt of the criticism. The guy exceeded expectations from his draft year. He was expected to be a 3rd line centre. Thatās the reality. Remember Mark Messier, touted as the greatest leader of all time? Youāre only as good as the team around you.
As an Islanders fan if the table was turned I would absolutely be cheering for Anthony Beauvillier!!!
Anyone who puts blame on Bo for the Canucks being terrible is actually completely dumb. Yes he was the captain but a captain can't sign players, trade players. He is the reason anyone still had a bit of reason to play in Vancouver.
Although I feel Bo was throwing some shade at Van, O'Brians comments were cringe imo.
Vancouver fans = The biggest fan based babys in the entire NHL
When things are good? They riot.
Bo will be a footnote eventually. I loved the guy but he wasn't anything special.
