It is moving up. I am seeing 18 minutes. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake makes room for himself when he sees a lane opening. Guadette is another worthy of floating up to the first PP from time to time. Was never really saying either of these 2 should be on the 1pp indefinitely, but me, you, we, as fans , have the luxury of seeing these wide angles on Tv. Good on Jake, it’s the confidence moments like this that make the player better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForNuckSakes Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 id like to see them move jake to the LW. looking at his last couple goals thats where he is scoring from. I had thought he played LW quite a bit in junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I posted something in the Guadette thread about Brock in the powerplays and why I think Guadette should take his spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's to say he hasn't brought him along perfectly to where he is now, and to where he may yet end up. 44 minutes ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: "We know he's got a good one-timer. His game is slowly progressing to where he's got a little powerplay time now. I'm happy for him, it's nice to see." - Green on Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should also note ice-time: Jake: 12:21 Larkin: 21:08 Even consider Ehlers and Nylander, who have 8 and 7 more points but get regular top-6 and PP time. They also get 40% more total ice-time, so Jake actually has the same (NE) or better (WN) points per 60. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaninMex Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Jake scored from Ovie's spot just as I have been saying for forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 closing in on midseason id say hes getting closer to where everyone has thought he would reach. a top 2 line type of player. Question is if he can maintain this kind of focus or get back in to old ways and just play half-and-half. For now.....just enjoying the ride and i hope he can continue and take the next step instead of taking a step back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake's slapper and wrister can overpower a tender. I have no problem with how Green has brought Jake along. Jake has the ability for a very solid 200' game. Can play on both sides of the puck. Has a physical presence both on the boards and thru hitting. Fans tend to forget that Benning drafted Jake after the disaster 2014 Calgary series. Vancouver didn't really have a response up front to Ferland. Benning drafted size and physicality with Virtanen. Many of us have preached patience with Jake and he is now begining to come into his own. If he goes into a ppg drought be patient. He will be hitting his prime in 3 years when the Canucks will be a serious CUP contender. Edited December 22, 2019 by Boudrias 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We selected Boeser at #23 after making the playoffs in 2015. Edited December 22, 2019 by SynysterGates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Imagine that, being patient with a young power forward could pay off. JV is going to get a good long look in the top 6 in the coming weeks, and is pretty well set up to capitalize in it. I still expect big things from him, he is going to be very key when we return to the playoffs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm old enough to remember when 23 was right around when a player was expected to put it together. I think the McDavid effect has ruined our expectations of when a player should be good, its gotta be right out of the draft or bustaroo, as our friend Alf says. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 2 quality RH shots would make it harder for the PK. One at the point and one in the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
