  1. I agree..as I believe he was never a 200 ft player until coming into the league, you can't blame him for over thinking many things. There are times you see that he overthinks for a split second in which he loses his check or the puck. However, there are times when he is on his game, he claimed that he "just did it without thinking" which I think is good for people with lower hockey IQ. As what is said above, he has been over coached by Green and Willie. I think people see him less hitting first is because he is afraid he will make a mistake and he will be benched or scratched again. Wasn't he drafted in 2014? How on earth is he on D+4 already? He is drafted in 2014 doesn't mean you just add 4 years and say he is +4. The season starts in October so technically he is D+3. I seriously think it isn't he not being hard working, it is just that he is sometimes uncertain how to play. And the person who says he shouldn't be up high watching the defencemen, so you want him running around and opening up for a backdoor pass?
  2. But I think he is one of the leaders in relation to that ratio where he has more takeaways than giveaways. (not sure how accurate that stat is) https://www.foxsports.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks-team-stats?season=2017&category=DEFENSE&time=0
  3. Kesler? Are you sure? He didn't even play a full season in the NHL until like his 3rd year. If Virt was drafted before Bo, people won't have high expectations for Virt and let him slowly develop. It is just that Bo was the only one in recent memory that hit the ground running immediately. Anyways, a good video here about his memory of his friend who passed away a few years ago http://www.wktv.com/news/A_lasting_impression_Jake_Virtanen_honors_late_friend_with_tattoo.html
  4. I can't believe no one mentioned that Higgy got a hattrick today!..GO HIGGY GO! Great Comets win.
  5. And then on the flip side, why are you so high on Shink? He has good AHL numbers, might I remind you that Vey is/was a ppg player in the AHL as was Clendenning and also Shroeder too. Where are they now? Think about it
  6. I think the past few games, he has improved in terms of positioning and being defensively sound. He has a few rushes which ended up with good scoring chances or good shots. I think he is being sheltered which is good and considering the fact that he has a huge bruise near his eye because of Hansen's shot, he did quite a good job today with his 8 minutes of ice time. However, I did think his line warranted more ice time today because every time they were on the ice, they generated some chances.
