Bo Horvat is settling into life in New York following the trade deadline deal that sent him to the Islanders from the Canucks. Amid the Islanders’ push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, Horvat took a jab at his old team and the fan base in Vancouver, indicating that the atmosphere on Long Island was superior to that in British Columbia.
“It’s been unbelievable. It’s a lot better than Vancouver, I’ll tell you that for free,” said Horvat, taking a jab at his former team while showing love to Isles fans at UBS Arena.
The Islanders secured an important win over the Flyers on Saturday, maintaining a one-point lead over the Penguins with the season winding down. The 28-year-old center provided two assists in the victory, but perhaps his biggest highlight game during the postgame interview.
