  1. While I'm not 100% up to date on Ant-Man, I do believe that Scott Lang becomes Ant-Man when Pym retires. I've only read a few of the comics and Lang was Ant-Man in them.

    Where they veer off into there own thing is having Yellowjacket as the villian. I thought he was another incarnation of the Ant-Man suit, and a good guy.

    I don't mind when they switch the scripts around if it makes the movies better, but too many Marvel villians lately are just mirror copies of the heroes. They need to get away from this and start bringing in some unique bad guys with different powers and abilities or it's going to get stale real quick.

    Bingo! It is perfectly acceptable for Scott Lang to become the first Ant-Man in the MCU, they've already set a precedent for making small little tweaks that still remain faithful to the source materials.

  2. I thought he was more serious then calm.

    I thought so perhaps as well, but after re-watching some of his interviews...the cool way he (almost) casually flirted with the reporter gal as he walked away with his mic still attached? Seeing some of his interactions at the prospect camp? Especially compared to Virtanen's "mic'd up" segment...Virt really seemed kinda childish, the way he kept repeating his 'Subes, stay on yer feet' & laughed at his own joke? I don't know, he just came off as disingenuous.

    I'm reading way, way, WAAAY too much into Virtanen, but I'm damn sure that Boeser is a born star, the guy just oozes confidence...his brother married or engaged to an NFL cheerleader? Clearly there is some elegance stored in his luscious, suave locks, & lord knows that ALWAYS translates to NHL greatness...Jagr anyone? Anyone?

    Damn Jagr is sexy.

  3. I think having an NHL body will make the transition easier and can play almost anywhere in the line up unlike shink, it's pretty common for a 6th overall pick to play in NHL in his 2nd year after the draft. Personally I think he will surprise a lot of people after a hard summer of training. If he continues to get faster and stronger he could be scary even at the NHL level.

    That's true, Jake definitely has size on his side. Time will tell, hopefully he has a real strong summer in the gym...it would be pretty sweet if some of the Canucks top prospects can actually earn a roster spot next season.

  4. Will definitely get 9 games next year, will have to really impress to make the team for the whole year but not out of the question.

    I'm skeptical he'll crack the Canucks roster next season, unless injuries force his call-up. I think he needs at least a full year at the AHL level, it's a big jump to go from the CHL to the NHL...Shink hasn't done it & he's performed better at the CHL level than Virtanen.
