  1. They did take Jake aside though and say "Jake, we want you to play at a lower weight. We know you want to play top line minutes but we need you to figure out both sides of the game and as such, you won't be playing top line minutes until you have that down." Sorry bud, but you just aren't right this time. Hence why so many people agree with what I had to say.
  2. -------------- Topic End ----------------
  3. I'm guessing if Virtanen - Valk - Goldobin was lined up on the first line all season that Virt would have had plenty of points. I wouldn't worry yet, this season was used to teach him a valuable lesson.
  4. Jake DeBrusk is a great player, saw a lot of him when he played for the Broncos and he was sensational. Jakub Zboril is a .82ppg defenceman. Considering defensemen take longer to develop I would argue leaving him in juniors was a good move by Boston. Zach Senyshyn is more than a ppg and is a big strong kid, also looks promising. Hard to judge what they did at this point but I think you will be surprised at how good they all are.
  5. If those three are playing on Utica next year, we are going to have to see a lot of Megna and his cronies...
  6. I get the attraction for Russian players to go home to play in a pro league. Swedes do it quite a bit too. Those leagues are both quite good, so he will still develop but maybe not the way the Canucks want him to.
  7. In my opinion the rink size is the hardest thing for them to get used to, so AHL.
  8. It won't make them faster, but playing against weaker opponents will make them look pretty impressive again. Those passes last night were incredible.
  9. One thing that excites me is knowing that the Sedins will likely move down to the second or third line over the next couple years (pending they keep playing which I think they will), and when guys like Virtanen, Goldobin, Boeser, etc. come up to the club, that's the line they will be starting on! They won't be relied on for all the scoring, but they will be perfect players to put these young guns with to bring them into the league.
  10. Can someone please tell me what happened to Etem since he went to Anaheim? It doesn't look like he has gotten to play outside of 3 games with the Ducks and 1 game with the Gulls.
  11. He looked really good today. One thing I really noticed was how calm he is in pressure situations, another was obviously his shot. He got a chance to be on the PP, not with the Sedin line but with the Horvat line, and he had a couple nice shots. I'd like to see more of him!
  12. Well I can't see us calling him Broccoli, so lets do it! Just like we all call Tryamkin Groot!
  13. Virtanen is struggling yes, but I feel like he would have more points than Megna, Chaput, and Skille if he would have been left on the Canucks and given their opportunity. Did he deserve it? No, but I think he is better than they are.
  14. Wow, I think he looked really good that game! Great speed, nice hands, flying past defenders. Good to see!
  15. I'm glad you are also high on Groot, he is going to be a rock solid player for us for years to come!
