I want to see him prove everyone wrong, but so far (after 5 years) he hasn't. He kind of reminds me of Goldobin. The potential is there, but what will he do with that? Maybe Jake is training really hard. The proof will be in his game this season. Fair enough but I was just wondering why make the comment based on Photos posted but no photos of significance were posted. That\s all/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we worried about his off season training ? I am not in the least lol The ball is in Jake's court this off-season edit;; for curiosity sake I wouldn't mind seeing a shirtless frontal of Jake.. I know he has tree trunks for legs and shoulders but we don't see much of his core/abs I bet Bo even had some drinks and stuff at his wedding/stag! Probably some wedding cake too!

Those guys do enjoy their summers too, but you know they're working hard as well, and will perform when it counts next season. Looking forward to seeing Jake's improvement this season. I'm sure he's been working very hard on his hands. I guess Brock should get off the lake and work on his skating in your books too ah? Jake lives here so a course his going to spend his off season here, him drinking whoopy do ha it's not like his theo flury out partying in invermere...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big difference between Boeser-Horvat, and Virtanen. What's next, are you going to compare Pettersson and Goldobin? At least Brock is/was playing in Da Beauty league, so he is training. Is Jake playing in any high level leagues? I have no concerns about Bo being ready for next season. Jake is what he is. I hope he improves.

Bo has gotten better every season and yet he doesn't post work out videos...Jake has gotten better every season also and what Brock gets a pass cause he plays in a tourney....i think you need cut the guy a break ha I'm not worried about Jake cause he knows he has to play like he did in the first half of the season. I'm more worried about Brock and his skating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Green and the coahcing staff have discussed what Jake needs to work on over the off season and he's probably doing what he's supposed to do to get better. Looking forward to seeing it all unfold in a couple of months. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a huge off season for him. There are other players developing behind him (Podkolzin, Hoglander, Lind, MacEwen, Lockwood, etc), and it appears like he's just mailing it in. Partying with friends at the lake or being spotted sitting on a pub deck pounding back highballs. He's having a good time, but he's got to know the NHL isn't a guarantee and can be taken away from him. He's got to try and be smarter on and off the ice. Another player went through this "growing up" (Evander Kane) and is a real good player today. I hope Jake can do the same and doesn't follow Kassian's path instead. 8 hours ago, NUCKER67 said: I am just saying that Jake is not a very good player (yet), not like Horvat or Boeser anyway.

In post one you make up some narrative about Jake Virtanen just being at a lake pounding high balls and having fun. Then you say he is not a good player. Then you say he is training really hard. Then you decide he is what he is. Those posts all together go from one extreme to another.... ...so is he drinking high balls OR is he training hard?

Popular Post Toews Posted August 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2019 Its nothing short of ridiculous that fans believe they have any say over what a player does in his free time let alone in the freaking offseason. This was the first year I saw grown men tracking how much time a kid is playing video games by perusing his video game profile. There is a rule on CDC that says that we aren't allowed to discuss player's personal lives, as if that even needs to be said, as if it isn't obvious how creepy that is. Jake's mom has already come out in the past to deny reports of him being out at some club. It clearly affects players when people are discussing baseless rumours like this one and they nor their family members should have to come out and have to deny anything. I imagine its like living in a fishbowl if you are one of these guys, but lets not keep constantly reminding them of the presence of said fishbowl. There have been plenty of players in the past who have wanted nothing to do with playing in markets live ours because they did not want their every move examined. Spreading rumours and gossiping about what player's do in their free time IMO lends a lot of credence to those concerns. 5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Work hard and play hard...nothing wrong with that. It may contribute to a player being his best because he is not all work and no play. Moderation is the key and training and practicing hard is necessary to be good...I'm sure these players start to ramp up their training closer to training camp...saw a poster showing Boeser at the lake enjoying life...which is a good thing along with training hard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a couple percentage increase in effectiveness and he is a good solid player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Umbrus Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Lets start another hot take on Jake...what about those shorts he's wearing people!? What about those shorts? Let me tell you, Jake has no design taste what so ever! Discuss... He can't even fit his hand into his pocket. What's the point of of shorts that tight? Pockets are meant to be pockets Jake!

Sorry for the confusion folks. I was 3 coffees deep when I came up with that beauty of a remark...now i'm full of regret as no one seems to have got my joke haha. I was riffing on the fact we make ridiculous news up about Jake all the time, as people were mentioning above about false accusations of him in bars and such. Was poking fun at that in my own weird way 1 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
