It still feels surreal to see Bo Horvat in a New York Islanders jersey, especially for long-time Vancouver Canucks fans. But it seems like Horvat has adjusted quite nicely to his new home!
Horvat Takes a Shot at Canucks During Interview
Bo Horvat dedicated nine years of his career to the Vancouver Canucks and even took up the mantle of captain after the legendary Henrik Sedin retired. Throughout trade discussions, he consistently expressed his wish to remain a Canuck for life.

After delivering two outstanding performances this week, racking up five points across two games, a reporter asked Horvat about the atmosphere in Long Island. With a sly grin, he replied:
«It's a lot better than Vancouver, I'll tell you that for free.»

As for Islanders fans, they'll have to see if their admiration for Horvat remains strong when his hefty $68-million contract kicks in next season.
