Whaleroad Train Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 If you think Virtanen is reckless going to a nightclub, what do you think of the European based players returning in those petri dish environments called an airplane. Just as long as all the players take things seriously once they are put in the bubble, they can do whatever they like before that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see the uproar about Hughes going out to eat because he doesn’t cook. Vancouver is literally the only city who treats its hockey players like this. Going out to get take out food and going to a nightclub are two very different things. The biggest mistake Jake made was allowing his buddy to post it on instagram.

Only an “issue” because it’s Vancouver and Virtanen. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Mc donalds in Coquitlam a worker has covid there , so you cant say one is better than the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m sure that when the team says they’ve addressed the matter privately with Virtanen, they’re just patting him on the back and telling him to not mind the haters. Better yet, maybe Benning and co opened up a cold one with him and asked him if he got lucky. Heck, the team probably recommended that Jake go clubbing despite some players already hitting the ice on Tuesday. You’re right, people are just too hard on the poor kid. He’s certainly never given us reason to doubt his professionalism. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is one false negative to let him continue to play, and BAM - he potentially takes out the whole team. THAT'S the issue. We can talk what if’s all day long. My point is people make mistakes and some people are just tired of being locked up. It’s only human nature to be an idiot once in awhile especially for a fella in his early 20’s, all I’m saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long has he been in the league now? At what point do you say he is no longer young anymore? Look I’m rooting for this kid. I want Jake to be part of our team moving forward. I didn’t pay much attention or care about what he did in the past but we are in a pandemic right now and clubbing is not a good choice to make. And FYI, if this had been any of my relatives, you can be sure I wouldn’t be happy about their choices as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably didn’t really grow up and stop partying like an idiot till I was 26. Im rooting for him too. He made a poor decision and I never discredited that.

Not sure you can make that claim. Are we passionate fans? Sure. Any more so than Montreal or Toronto? Hard to say. I generally find the fan base here to be supportive of its players unless that player does something to lose their support. Pretty cut and dry. Normally I really dont care what a player does in his own personal time. When I see them away from the game, I’m not one to run up to them to ask for an autograph. I generally leave them alone. But again this is a pandemic we are in. Not the time to be clubbing no matter who you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to hold this against him but he does have to realize that he will get flak for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
