@Canucks: "You were there for the young guys. You were a leader in the locker room. On the ice you played the complete game."

Former Canucks captain Markus Naslund said the captaincy in Vancouver does come with more expectations of being a public leader than it does in other cities.

“I think that the added responsibility helps you grow as a person. The few times I’ve met Bo tells me he will handle these things perfectly,” Naslund said in a text message from his home in Sweden.’

Back in November, circumstance meant that Horvat found himself almost alone among hockey players in being asked to comment on Sportsnet firing Don Cherry after he made xenophobic comments about immigrants.

In that moment, Horvat stood up for what was right and said Cherry’s time was done and that Sportsnet was right to take the position it did. There was a lot of vitriol directed Horvat’s way for taking a strong stand against xenophobia.

“It made me stronger as a person, I think it was a good learning curve for me,” Horvat said of how his criticism of Cherry saw him receive blowback from some of the less-tolerant corners of the Internet and elsewhere.

“There’s no easy subjects to talk about, I’ll be the first to admit it.  It’s time for change. as Alex (Edler) says, people do look up to us,” he added. “I think it’s important to speak your opinion. I’m really proud of the guys.”

I feel nostalgic. This was such a good line. But needs Jovo behind them to be complete. (via Canucks Insta)

I feel blessed I had a chance to play with them, watch them grow, and just be around them everyday, because they’re special human beings.
