I only said he reminded me of him, and then I explained my only reasoning after. Yet...Then people started disagreeing with me by starting to compare their other attributes that did not match. LOL It's not like I said he was a total copy of him. Don't worry, everyone is just giving opinions. People on here disagree and give their opinion all the time. Its kind of why we are all on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it, and it's not something you can start talking to me about to try to change my mind or anything because it's not even an opinion. I was reminded of another person by someone, so it's an experience that I've already went through. You can't go back and change something I've already experienced. I think he plays a lot like Raymond too, at least earlier on. Speed wide, do a couple laps, throw a puck on net. Rinse, repeat. David Booth is someone else that came to mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big, fast, aggressive PWF who scores 30 plus goals, and 60 plus points. That's one hell of a valuable player!!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like to forget but before his knee injury against the Ave Booth was great for us 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I just wish he would use his speed and drive the net more. He has so many opportunities to do so but maybe it is a lack of confidence or situational awareness? A lot of the times, he has little issues beating defenders wide, but then he throws a soft shot on net or misses it completely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard him in an interview say that he is trying to change things up so he doesn't become predictable. That kind of makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rob_Zepp Posted January 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2019 I am in awe how so many people can watch a professional hockey game and see things that don't exist. Comparing Virtanen to a peripheral player is beyond hilarious. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of makes sense. I think Jake playing a predictable game would suit him better. Predictable as in, if the opposing player has the puck, he will be destroyed. Predictable as in, when Jake has the puck, he's taking it hard to the net and knocking over anyone in his way. Predictable as in, when you mess with one of our players, you'll have to answer to Jake. He's still learning his pro game. He'll be fine and we'll be shot gunning at least 20 beers a year for the forseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, StarGirl, the only similarity between Raymond and Virtanen is that they are fast skaters. That's it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only talking about people who don't use the internet or go to this forum and choose not to say it who still at least knew them. I just explained the only reason why he reminds me of him and being "reminded" of someone else isn't something I chose on purpose or anything. It's not even an opinion either. Never have I once said that Virtanen and Raymond are 100% the same type of Hockey player. Edited January 10, 2019 by StarGirl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
