Bo is n will be a very good 2-way C. What u don't realize is the role he is in n also forced into is far too soon for him at 20yrs old. Injuries had much to do with his season but the kid is smart n works hard n bulls his way around the ice. This year is a wash n he will come back next year with a vengeance. Mark my words. He has leader written all over him.

I'm sorry but the 25 th place team telling the 27 th place team their roster sucks. Does no one else see the humor in this?

It's all about the future with both teams

Well guys here's to hoping Steaming Lombardi makes it to the Rugby tournament today. If he smokes all 15 jazz sticks on the way over he just might end up on an Alaskan Love Cruise with some Thai Ladyboy.

Go Allblack Go

Have a blast

Agreed! Monahan focused way more on a two game with calgary as well, they had him doing faceoff practice all summer when he was 19. Bo is solid, not buying the BO hate lately, he's only 20... you see guys like coutourier turning 24ish and being really solid, that's the path I see for Bo.
- Crazybagoham

Players like Bo r who take teams forward n the kid has jam.
He is mentally tough for one so young n it will show up down the stretch.
Next year he will shiw even more n I'm betting on it.

Monahan n Bo both r highly sought after character talents n what any team wants to have n build around. Both r only gonna get better n be around for years.

I've been finding flames fans hilarious lately. I have so many Flames friends, as I grew up in Southern Alberta, and I've just been livid the way some Flames act the last year and a half. It's a solid team , I dont disagree, with some great pieces ( I'm a big monahan fan). But they have no goalie, nothing beyond Johnny Hockey/Monahan/ Gio in their roster that is substantial. Sick of hearing of how much better Calgary is than us for the future.

Scooby's great…but currently Monahan is heads and shoulders better than Bo. He was put into the Flames top six as a center by default, same as Bo, Monahan did extremely well with it.

As for Bennett and McCann, I honest don't think either is a lot better or worse than the other. Bennett has been sheltered on the wing (mostly) where McCann has been used 99.99% at center in a limited role.

Never could understand the rules, I do appreciate the nastyness though. Where is the tourney, BC Place? Hope you and your son have a blast, it's great to find an event that's a good deal. Seems like anything in BC place/Rogers is out of my price range these days, I'm spoiled and only look in lower bowl though.

I'd give us the nod for the future as both teams overall talent stands.
Flames have a big leg up on D but thats it.

Gaudreau isn't anything special ? The kid is a game changer who makes everyone around him better ...Monahan is horvat ? How ...based on they are both young centers ? I like Bo and maybe one day he will be what you all hope him to be but Monahan is playing 1C fir two years now as a kid and not looking too bad ...bo is playing 2C and having issues .... Let's poll every other fan base and see who would rather McCann than Bennett ...Hamilton is paid high but what's the going rate for a 22 year old D man who puts up over 40 points almost every year ?? Gio has had 3 great years in a row now ...and Brodie is a stud ...as for goaltending I agree that's the big issue ...much like you guys we have a prospect we are high on but time will tell ... I don't think I came in here on my high horse at all ...you just see flames fan and go code red ...we both have good pieces for the future I just think the flames pieces are further ahead in development which isn't that far fetched to say IMO

I'm not threatened by you or any flames fan, and it's nice to see you back track on your earlier comments.

Maybe so but Bo has no offense from D to back him up or a Gaudreau to play with or the PP time.
Too difficult to compare other than both will be centrepieces going forward.

Monohan> Horvat imo
I like both but Mohahan has a lot of finish. Horvat puts a lot of shot's center chest, will try a great move at really a weird time. I gotta say Monahan is definitely the better player right now, but that could definitely change. He's already a bonafide 1c, and one would say his two way game helps a guy like Gaudreau be offense, despite calgary troubles this year. Horvat needs some more time.

@Redmile

I think u call it fairly n ur not here to troll or trash talk.
I'm a Nucks fan obviously but ppl being honest is better than stirring it up.

Scooby.....I'm just killin you in the pool, step it up...son!

I had a bad goalie week.
The rest of my team is waxing yours. I'll still beat you in the end.

Once Bo n Monahan have more seasons under their belts Monahan will be a 1C n Bo a 2C that can shut down the ops. Different skill n talent for them both.

BC Place, went to one soccer game last season, but still haven't had a good chance to walk around the whole place since the renovation.

Free tickets from wifey's work.

I don't know much about rugby, not sure how long we will last down there, but if there is a lot of people, a lot of energy, it should be fun.

I don't think it's difficult to compare them at all, one's 20 the other is 21, both are centres. I believe Monahan is currently a better offensive player than Horvat, although like you said, he's playing with Johnny Hockey.

Both gonna be great young players though!

BC place hasn't changed, it's still a poopty sports venue made of concrete. They totally screwed up by not tearing it down and building something new.

I'm not a rugby fan, never understood the game or why so many people love it. To each their own...
