Gaudette Celly Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 He's not the only one that likes it. That's a good chunk of our future core right there, not only serious about working out in the off-season but doing so together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 So, Boeser, Dahlen, Goldobin and Juolevi are in Vancouver working out, training to be ready for camp, and Virtanen's playing ball hockey (and probably having a few brewskies)? Maybe he really doesn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the importance of bringing in your own guys that you have coaching chemistry with, but Jarvis balances out the "inexperienced first time NHL coach" factor with as much winning experience as you can get in an assistant. Imo, our young guys need to be learning from a six-time Stanley Cup champion, a former Selke winner, and the NHL ironman. Jarvis is a big opportunity for both Green and our youth. Will be disappointed if he's not back on the bench. If Dougie is kept on does that mean we can look forward to some interviews next year? In his 'walk bys' last year he looked down right unhappy.

Maybe he really doesn't get it. You made so many assumptions right there based on nothing. I heard he was doing coke on a rocket filled with gnome strippers headed to Mars what a lazy ass. You know nothing of what his workout routine is. He could just as easily be training with a top athletic trainer everyday. If high level ball hockey is intense and can keep his fitness on track from the end of the Utica season until training camp then that is a hell of a lot better than last year.

Yeah, I see almost zero negatives, outside of a slight injury risk, in players adding things like high level ball hockey or floor ball to their offseason training. These are dry land activities that come about as close as it gets to on ice training. And I'm sure Virtanen has other activities planned for the summer in the weight room as well as with his diet and conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few sports where you can manage to suck wind as quickly as chasing that red ball around. This does not concern me at all. If anything, Juolevi, Boeser, Dahlen, Goldobin are the guys were are looking to add strength - Virtanen is a guy we are looking to add fitness. People get stupid about this stuff imo.

Jake's off-season development needs are less gym-related but more fitness and hockey-related. Everyone can get stronger, but that shouldn't be his priority as it was last year.

DownUndaCanuck Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 If Horvat can take his game to another level and pot 70 points we're sorted if we can find any chum at 2C, will be interesting to see where his ceiling is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'd like to see Jake being invited into these group training sessions. No matter what is really going on with him, the longer he stays on the outside, the worse the optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
