I was jazzed about this guy around March. So glad we got him. He's got a big body, can skate, can lay the body, drops his gloves once or twice. He is going to look great in Canucks' colours.
Last year didn't go so well for him. He looked shaky and often uncomfortable in net. There are a lot of variables but I'm not %100 sold on him yet. Once he got the starter job he tail spinned into sub par play. Hopefully he just needed his feet wet and fills in nicely here.
If we are tanking for sure. If we want post season, then no. Lack will be good one day but he's very much not ready just yet. Especially with the current make up of our team. In my opinion anyway.
Virtanen has size and a mean streak neither of those two have, Jensen has size doesn't really utilize it. We need more people willing to chuck bodies. Sick of being pushed around by other teams.
Was hoping for Mckeown, any chance he falls to 36 lol.
Welcome to Jared. Best of luck going forward. Interview just now wasn't great but I welcome you with open arms.
Mixed in with "guy I liked wasn't picked". I been saying I wanted Virtanen for a while now but was prepared for possibly taking Ehlers or Nylander or even trading up for Reino.
People can't accept the person they liked not being selected and resorted to anger and contempt. Kind of sad and depressing. Hopefully we nab Mckeown. Gonna keep saying it until it happens, hopefully
That's weird. Pretty sure we are his second choice considering Pittsburgh didn't give him term or assistant coach choice. If they offered him what Vancouver offered I bet he chooses them.
All it took was one knee on knee hit by what's his face in Colorado to ruin his time. Guy was atrocious most of the time and the fans decided that was a good enough reason to attack his hunting and religious belief's to makevtheselves feel better.
Take care Booth, try not to shoot anything on the way out. Too soon?
