 Virtanen's speed and physical game just became that much more vital for our retooling process.
Tonight the Canucks showed that they couldn't keep up with the speed of the Flames, Virtanen, Shinkaruk, Baertschi, are that much more important to this team going forward
Don't forgot Mccann can skate too. Right now Bonnino doesnt' look anything like a 2nd line center
-
With the turnovers it seems like he hands the puck directly to the opposition

Make a lot of boneheaded plays. He makes Kassian look good.

I'm watching the Canucks game today and I don't have DVR... they just interviewed Jake Virtanen and I swear the sportsnet caption said "Jack Virtanen". Can anyone verify this?
I just checked as I have DVR. You are correct the caption did say "Jack." A fail by whoever made that mistake.

Ottawa plays the Islanders tomorrow. They should easily be able to win that.
Carolina plays the Rangers tomorrow. Since the Rangers just clinched today, I see them resting some players especially against a weaker team (maybe they rest Lundqvist?).
If both of those teams get two points, it would push the Canucks down to seventh. It just sucks Winnipeg couldn't win today.
Why would the Rangers rest their players. They are trying to get home ice, only 2 points up on Flyers

Ehlers or Virtanen or Perlini
I'm not really impressed by Ritchie Bennett Dal Colle Draitsaitl Fleury they all seem to not have the offensive explosive quick hands and skating that we finally need in prospect there more two way expect for Bennett perhaps, no more hodgsons schroeders horvats gaunces cassels we need a high end offensive forward who play at a high speed.
What abut Perlini's poor playoff? 1 assit in 7 games.

this game is something else. If Piere Mcguire was calling it, he would have been going crazy! "OH MY GOD! WHAT A SAVE BY PATTERSON! A MONSTER!"

Domi reminds be of Brad Marchand
-
Etem + Ott 1st if it turns into a 6-8 pick would be good enough return IMO.
-
Interesting thought is Anaheim has Jon Gibson as well. I know we got markstrom in the trade but Gibson is probably better.
He's probably untouchable.
-
We need Anaheim to play play LA in the first round. Even though the Ducks have done well against LA in the regular season, we all know LA is a different animal in the playoffs. The Kings have great center depth with Kopitar, Richards and Stoll. Ducks have Getzlaf and Boninno? Ducks will come begging for Kesler in the summer.

Looking more like the worst the Canucks can pick is 10th if you look at the standings. Caps winning and Wings.
-
I would like to see him get more shots off thought. He should have atleast 3 shots on goal game.
-
at this point anything could be a upgrade on Raymond on that line. Schroeder also has a much higher hockey IQ than Raymond.
-
It was only a matter of time before he figured it out. I know I'm looking ahead but I hope these are the lines next season. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Schroeder Higgins - Hodgson - Hansen Malhotra - Lapierre - Pinizotto Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Tanev Ballard - Connauton Luongo Schneider Raymond gone.
The Raymond Gone part put a smile to my face.
-
I gotta agree. schroeder's really stepped it up this year. they'll be an amazing line for us in the future.
I don't know. Schroeder seems to play better at center. We have not seen him play well on the wing.
-
I think the prospects tournament will be a great indicator at how he well do this season. Last year, he really struggled in this tournament that he should really have been dominating. It showed how far he was behind.
-
Anybody think he could make the American team for the World Championships if the Moose miss the playoffs? Theres been talk of Eberle joining the Canadian team, so why couldn't Schroeder join the team.
-
Shirokov - Hodgson - Pettinger
Schroeder - Rosa - Grabner
Keane - Murray - Desbiens
Bliznak - Stastny - Maxwell
Collins, Pope, etc.
HOLY SH*T
Prab Rai's season is done in 4 or 5 days. He does have 40 goals. Does he get on the Moose roster?
-
Any chance Schroeder could join Team USA at the World Championships?

This sentiment is tiresome to say the least. Jordan Schroeder is a short hockey player, but his strength to height ratio is extremely high. Even if he never gets to be 5'10" there is no reason to think he wont be a productive NHLer. Patrick Kane is listed at 5'10" tell me if you believe that. Schroeder is already heavier than Kane, and will likely have a similar playing style to Martin St. Louis who is listed at 5'9"(I would say he has had a great career).
Im not sure where you are from, but 6'0" isnt considered a midget, which is exactlly what Rodin and Hodgson are listed at. I realize they arent Joe Thornton or Ryan Getzlaf, but not every player is. Mike Gillis is building the team with ONE major focal point and that is SKILL. Would you consider Datsyuk, Zetterberg, M.Richards and Crosby midgets? I wouldnt, and guess what they all have in common, they are listed as the same height or shorter than, to use your term "midgets", Hodgson and Rodin.
What would you rather have a bunch of tall semi-skilled guys, or a bunch of average sized highly-skilled players?
I know what I would choose, and based on the most successful team of the past decade (Detroit), skill beats size most of the time!
Rodin is 5'10 1/2

Its a developmental league afterall. If they get past the first round, Benning will put presure on Travis Green to play him
