That's a great argument, can you back it up? I constantly see him out there in the last couple minutes protecting leads. JV does still lack in the hockey sense department, but his game is far superior to anyone we have sitting in the minors or press box 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is almost always dead last among forwards, minus any Utica plug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's been a great 3rd line player, may not be the smartest player, may take nights off but I think he's finally figuring it out this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No GM is taking Virtanen over Demko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No GM is taking Virtanen over Demko. That's a ridiculous argument. You have to expose one eligible keeper, it's a rule. You can't just sub JV for TD, champ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No GM is taking Virtanen over Demko. Actually, if I'm Vegas I am absolutely taking JV over Demko. There are other top goalies who will be exposed that Vegas could take. There will not be any players like JV though. Young, big, intimidating, great skater, great shot, excellent defensively, cheap, and has a very high ceiling still.

Gurn Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 3 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: but Jake doesn't suck. He's on a 0.5ppg pace and looks like a great fit with Roussel, and is really using his body to his advantage this year on the boards, finally. I'd guess his shoulder is feeling better, plus he is "growing up" or at least gaining confidence that he does belong up here in the show. Hoping some one with experience can show him how to scrap a bit or at least protect himself when challenged. Adding that to his game would be a substantial upgrade to an already decent career path. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should avoid hockey and go back to playing limited contact tiddlywinks... and get that concussion you got in your last tournament against kindergarten kids looked after.

Jake's a valuable player who's starting to figure it out. Players have been coming in and out of the lineup all season, and not once has Jake been a healthy scratch. You want to see a benched player? Take a look at #21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed him getting under peoples skin more this year, and i think his threat more than fighting is hitting someone pretty hard when he's in the mood for it.

Take a look at #21. I forgot people here have never even played hockey. Benched does not mean scratched. Benched means the coach makes stay on the bench, good god. Ferland had his first game back in over a month. He's not going to get a lot of ice-time. Gaudette and Roussel both played more minutes than Virtanen so I am not sure why you bring them up. If you go back over the last 15 games Virtanen has the lowest AVG of TOI but sure pretend like Green doesn't bench him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an intimidating force, skates super fast, and plays smart defensively. Guy is turning into a valuable piece. Nobody is intimidated by Virtanen. It's the other way around. Virtanen is scared of everyone else. He will not fight anyone. As soon as a tough person comes by Virtanen is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like how I was right about Pettersson and his weight right? There's no way trainers would lie about his weight! You just can't stand the fact I was right.
