Bo Horvat offers to pay a fan's gambling debt after terrible shootout fail
The Vancouver Canucks are off to a painful start. They currently sit 6th in the Pacific Division with a record of 3-6-3. A recent shootout loss also cost a fan some financial pain. The fan in question laid a wager that would have won him $91.50 with a Canuck's victory, but a failed shootout attempt by Bo Horvat put an end to that. The fan then took to Instagram to send the Vancouver Captain a message, to which he surprisingly responded.
Horvat being the good guy he is made an offer to pay for the fans' losses as a result of the shoot-out loss after he lost the puck in the overtime loss.
"My jersey got thrown on the ice last year and I'll never forget that for as long as I play," Canuck's captain Bo Horvat recalled. "It's something that hits home, and when you see it again happening this year, it definitely sucks. But I understand their frustration.
"We haven't really given them much to cheer about. It's been a lot of years in the rebuild stage and. . . at this point in the season, it just feels like it's never going to happen, like we're never going to win again."
This major gesture doesn't sound out of character for the Captain as he is frustrated with himself and another Canucks loss, as the Canucks haven't had the best year so far.
