00:02 >> Hockey tonight, there's a few games including Bo Horvat returning to
00:07 Vancouver for the first time and the Islanders, they suck right now, Gabe.
00:11 Let's just call it like it is in Vancouver's playing much better hockey
00:14 than them.
00:15 >> It's disappointing to the odds makers have caught up.
00:18 Nobody ever pays attention to Vancouver or the Pacific Northwest.
00:21 They are now.
00:22 The Canucks are routinely buck 60 favorites on a nightly basis.
00:26 And here we go again, laying in the 60 cent range.
00:31 You would figure that the Canucks would be in a flat spot at some point or,
00:34 you know what I mean?
00:36 Why, they're really gonna keep this rolling.
00:37 They're 9-1-1 in their last 11 games.
00:39 They're off to the best start of franchise history.
00:42 But they really do.
00:43 They take it one shift at a time.
00:45 And this is a big game.
00:47 Listen, Bo Horvat was a very popular player, okay, in Vancouver.
00:51 And he did a lot of good things in the city for a long time.
00:55 Yet you know how sports work.
00:57 I mean, look at you, nut jobs with Tavares, right?
00:59 And like you guys were like waiting, wanting to kill him in the bus.
01:03 >> That was deserved.
01:05 >> Horvat would have, I'm kidding.
01:08 Horvat would have been beloved in all this and he's trying to soften it now.
01:14 But if you recall, when they said, how do you like being an Islander?
01:17 Would have made a plus.
01:17 >> Yeah. >> Better than being in Vancouver.
01:20 Not forgotten.
01:21 And well, guess who's one of the best teams in the NHL, Bo?
01:25 I'm guessing it's not.
01:26 Not the team you're on, right?
01:28 So this is, they're gonna let him hear it tonight.
01:31 Big game for the Canucks and the Canuck fan base.
01:34 Dude, the Canuck fans like throw jerseys at their own players.
01:36 How do you think they're gonna treat Bo Horvat tonight?
01:38 The Canucks win tonight.
