  1. My bad, I meant is, if TG wants to try something, my suggestion can be considered but of course, keeping the current lotto line is good too! From what I see is Jake is playing a bit scared. That I would put partial blame on TG. Even watching him play, every time I see him make a small mistake, he gets benched. That's whY he is not hitting as much and just doing things safe. And also, he seems to play so much better with more minutes.
  2. Bro, are you serious? Jake only played with Bo for like four games and in three games, either Jake had a goal or Bo did. And finally on the fourth game they didn't get a point, TG removed him from the line and Bo started struggling. The media even asked them why they were doing so well. To be honest, I think a line of Petey Miller Pearson and Bo Boes Jake are I think good line combos.
  3. Can someone please tell me why Virt once again only played 8 minutes? I watched the first two periods and he was fine. I'm starting to give up, can we just trade him so he can get a fair chance?
  4. To be honest, the past couple of years when I see Jake play OT, don't think he has caused a turnover and actually had scoring chances. I still remember the breakaway against Mcdavid or shielding the puck from McKinnon.
  5. Do you guys see Loui's eyes? Damn..he looks like he wants to murder Gauds for stealing his spot..haha
  6. I think he was in the past but last year and this year, he is developing his awareness more. And it seems he was very engaged today with 5 hits. I think Boho is screwing up the line. I think top 6 should be Petey, Miller and Jake; Bo, Boeser and Baer. For the Petey line, Miller can teach Virt and talk to him more because I have seen in the past that Miller has talked to him. Also, as evident by McKinnon, speed is effective in OT, why doesn't Virt get to play (I'm not comparing them but they both are super fast) as speed can open up space.
  7. Unpopular opinion: BB6 had a few bad games already. Almost all his passes, shots, skating are bad lately. The offense is dying with him I think, even on the PP. Except for his goal, he hasn't really done anything. =/
  8. Bro, did you even see what happened on those four goals he was on the ice for? All of them were 2 on 1s or defensive breakdowns. I don't think it was his or the forwards' fault. And he did have one of the highest +/- if you really want to count that (before this game obviously). Further, I think he has improved a lot this year and although he has less goals than he had last year at this same moment, his scoring and play has been way more consistent than last year since last year he will score in bunches and will kind of disappear for a few games (and I am a huge supporter). His defensive game has always been decent and I think this year is already better. But I think sometimes Green misuses him (i.e. No OT or PP or PK) as he definitely will do better than Leivo (at least playing the point since he is the fastest skater on the team and can catch any turnovers and is decent defensively).
  9. To be fair, even if Clouts didn't let that goal in, we would still have lost that series.
  10. He had like 5 shot in which some were grade A chances and had like 4 hits
  11. I might be a bit biased but why is Leivo playing the point on the second PP with Edler. One turnover then it's like automatic chance for the PK unit. I rather have Stetcher or Virt back there because at least they can shoot and are fast enough to cover each other. And for 5 on 5, why not bring Baer in and have him skate with Bo and Virt, didn't they have chemistry last year?
  12. The most puzzling is last year jake played 3 on 3 and he even played well for his chances. Even got a couple of breakaways and now is stapled to the bench. Wtf.
  13. To be honest, a lot of players on the team had bad passes. I did watch the whole game and although there were some missed passes and bad reads, the stat line shows that he has more takeaways which means he has more positive than negative. And even Bb6 had bad passes.
  14. See I find this weird. Some poster before said that JV shied away from a fight but I don't see it that way. In every way, he seems to want to but the refs stopped it. At least he was chirping away which is fun to watch sometimes!
  15. Reid Boucher..damn, ripping apart the AHL now. 8-2-10.
  16. Although I agree with your statement, it is hard to get anything going with 8/9 minutes of ice time. The times JV and MF played well was because they played more.
  17. To be honest, Virt was never on until the last one. It has always been Pearson, Leivo and Sutter. I think having Virt there might be a better option.
  18. Yeah man..although Leivo scored in the SO, but to be honest, with Jake being an option in OT as him being the fastest skater on the team with similar or maybe better hands than Leivo, I don't know why he is stapled to the bench during OT. Him and Horvat will make for an amazing combo.
  19. Just to be fair, he had 9 minutes and finished with 3 hits and 1 TKA...And he was playing with plugs.
  20. Based on the video, it seems he went through the normal way.
  21. Sorry but I am currently in Hong Kong. I can't access SN or HNIC. Anyway someone has a link to it. Thanks in advance!
  22. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-jake-virtanen/c-301922258 Good article about Jake showing promise!
  23. He is ranked top 20 centers in the NHL!
  24. Thanks man! I thought it was more than just money and that merely attending was already enough to lose his college eligibility..and I thought that was the reason why BB8 didn't join previously.
  25. I thought Quinn Hughes was not allowed to play because he is still with the college team?
