Words dont decrbe how pumped iam

in my opinion, it's a no brainer to get Horvat in and to sit Sesito. I know everyone says he has more skill than people know. That he has hands in practise. Truth is, his type of player is becoming extinct and it makes zero sense not to give Horvat a shot.

It's not like Sesito is going to develop into something better than he already is.

Hornet however, needs to play at the highest level in order to develop.

 

[Cogburn]

I know I will probably get shouted down in a chorus of boos, but Sestito, Hansen, Matthias, Vey and anyone else I would have scratched for Horvat looked the last few games (or game in Sestitos case). It's all the sudden a harder decision than it was a few days ago.

Hornet. We have a nickname!

My auto correct gives me Horvath all the time, but yours has nickname potential, so it's worth the shout out.

I agree it should be Sestito, but he actually looked good on the fourth line last night, so it sucks he's the one to cut for now.

 

[Barney Gumble]

If Stanton is ready to go, does our Weber even dress? Hmm.

Weber has played as a forward before. If Stanton is good to go - Weber in for Sestito. Weber, even as a forward > Sestito. Heck Fin > Sestito.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Never thought it would be hard to scratch Sestito :laugh

Tonight I'd like to see:

Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Higgins-Bonino-Dorsett
Richardsson-Horvat-Kassian
Matthias-Vey-Hansen

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

No bo....?

 

[Horse McHindu]

Not to sound like a 'Debbie Downer', but I think Nashville takes it tonight. 4-2.

Canucks haven't been all that great in back-to-backs this year, while Lack nowhere near the goalie that Miller is (although I do like Lack).

I've enjoyed watching the Canucks play this year, but they can't keep winning forever. Odds catch up with them tonight.

4-2 Predators.

Will obviously be happy if I'm wrong however.

I thought we had settled on No Scorefat.

As soon as reading that those 3 were the only ones skating it made sense that they'd be in the ones in the pressbox.

Those 6 minutes of Sestito including a 3rd period benching must have been really profound for you eh?

Im having a feeling comparable to waking up to Christmas only to find no presents under your tree. Horvat please play!

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

to be fair, tostitos did his job last night. i think purely for team morale, you want to reward that by keeping him in the lineup for a second game.

By the way Bo Horvat is getting rinsed this morning I really doubt he'll play tonight. He's also coming off back2backs and travel. #Canucks

Seems like he isn't playing tonight from all the other reports aswell.

 

[Nuckles]

Blah, he should have played last night then.

 

[Zaddy91]

Horvat could just be tuning up, theres no practice anyway.

but iam not hopeful, this management wants him to play 20 games u til jan when they send him to the ohl and botch his development

 

[thepuckmonster]

If he's coming off travel and two b2bs I'm not too upset he's not drawing in tonight. Would rather see him rested for Colorado.

 

[VC]

I would guess that Horvat is out of the lineup as its been awhile since he practised with the team.

 

[ShouldveDraftedFiala]

Blah, he should have played last night then.

Seriously, if he wasn't going to play tonight, why did they sit him yesterday? What a mistake.

The Bodacious one is in Vancouver this morning. I don't see how he doesn't play tonight considering he didn't play last night for Utica, and Sestito is...well...Sestito.

am I missing something? If he was skating with Burrows and Stanton. Makes it seem likely he won't play.

 

[tcat84]

Egg all over sportsnets face if he doesn't play tonight

 

[Nuckles]

My mindset was: Bo didn't play last night, does morning skate to get ready for game tonight. Rest of Canucks played last night so they're not skating this morning.

But apparently we need Sestito playing 6 minutes per game.

 

[Zaddy91]

Horvats playing,

they wouldnt have had him miss a 6th game in utica otherwise.

If I'm not mistaken he played on Friday and yesterday as well so this would be his 3rd straight game I would understand if they let him sit this one out.
