No suspension needed. Penalty was enough. Getzlaf should have been taken care of by someone on the team, but that's not the league's problem. gudbranson fought him. let it go.

Hope he hits Getz so hard, his helmet flies off Sorry to Disappoint, but Virtanen is not who you think he is. He wont be destroying anyone. He will skate around the perimeter, make 1 rush down the wing, and only use his size and strength to absorb and react to Getzlafs hit. Best case scenario is Getzlaf falls down trying to hit Virtanen.

TheGuardian_ Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Fractured rib, really, that is great news because rib cartilage takes longer and is easier to re-damage. There is still trade possibilities if Benning etal feel Jake is not their guy or replaced with Leivo or MacEwen With his speed and small contract Edmonton could be interested.

I can paint whichever pretty picture I want to look at. I'm not saying you are wrong I hope Jake can start proving you wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 A month for Virtanen is most of the season. If it is a tad slower or he needs a few practices for conditioning, then he is basically done. Well we wanted to see the kids! I wonder how our playoff push will be looking by the deadline, other teams will have caught up in games played and we could be well on the outside. Of course, they could also all lose their games and we continue this weird turtle derby where the team at a game over .500 makes it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news on Edler... we desperately need him back. I predict Tanev will be out a while. Also good news to hear Demko skating. We need to get his evolution back on track. Marky probably needs this long break more than anyone... hopefully he can get to 100% by Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Every year we are decimated by injuries. They need to look at every angle and see what they can do to improve the overall health of the team. I like how Gillis at least tried with the sleep doctors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a tough kid, we need to wait till he’s 25 to see the player he will be for the remainder of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good try, but Jake was a very immature kid when drafted, and (in several ways) he still is. We’ve seen Jake dominate physically for long stretches of games. He’s still maturing.

Pettersson has 31 hits in 49 games !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we could trade Sutter this TDL, considering he still has another year on his term. It would be nice to see him go sooner though. Maybe, we can find a dance partner this summer?

firestorm238 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It just strikes me as odd that we haven't had any updates on him as far as I can tell Getting into tinfoil hat territory for sure, but the silence is making me wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
