I am suprised that Jake seems to be held to a higher standard than everyone else, There are other, older players out there playing worse than JV but no one gives them a hard time with the excessive critisism that seems to still float Jakes way when he has an off night. Also, he can't go balls to the wall every shift and every game. He will have bad nights like everyone else. Jake just seems to catch it from us a lot more for, a lot less, than other players. I like what I've seen of Jake so far this year. One other thing, Jake is a lot better defensively than he get credit for. I do believe he is +4 so far this season. I know some would like to see him hit more and that would be fine, as long as doing so doesn't make him less effective defensively.
