  1. I came back on this forum after a more than 1 year hiatus because as I was watching the recent Canucks games, I've *unintentionally* noticed how poorly Virtanen has been playing during this playoff series and so, it reminded me of this certain incidence that I had from this forum which basically scarred me from commenting.

     

    So for those who don't remember or know what happened...

     

    Last year, I had received SO MANY hateful comments going at me JUST BECAUSE I said that Virtanen reminds me of Mason Raymond a bit since I keep seeing times where they both would have a sudden burst of speed but then fall down...Then so many Virtanen fans and defenders started to aggressively reply to me on how much they disagree with me and made fun of me, saying stuff like "LOL How can you even see that? You blind.", "You're the only one in the world who would even think or see that.", "Jake is much better than Mason Raymond.", "That's the dumbest comparison I ever heard." (<- By the way, I was NOT even comparing them...I just said he reminded me of him...)...ECT(There were worse ones than what I mentioned here...). Literally when you search "Virtanen" and "Mason Raymond" on Twitter, you get to see some people mentioning they're seeing a bit of similarity too. And yet, Virtanen fans wouldn't "let" me think the same way and some even tried to talk me out of it. It's literally not even an opinion, so it was really weird for them to try to "change" my mind. Which made it frustrating to deal with all those comments.

     

    And...Thanks to all those mean comments I got back then, I had to turn off my notifications altogether on this forum because I was getting so many "disagreeing" replies to my simple comment in the Jake Virtanen | #18 |RW topic thread. Mind you, I was simply only commenting that he reminded me of another player...And I didn't expect his fans to throw so much hate at me because they disagreed with me and they tried so hard to talk me out of my thoughts of it. LOL Like...Dude, he already reminded me of Mason Raymond. It was a sudden thought in my head that happened before I wrote the comment. It wasn't an opinion, it was a sudden thought. It's not something you can now change my mind on. Also, I was just stating something I felt and wanted to share. I wasn't even asking for anyone to agree with me. So the comments replying to me were so dumb. :picard:

     

    So now, I just want to say that I'm glad that I never liked Virtanen as a player in the first place because I already didn't really like how he played back then and then his fans/defenders even kept bashing me for my simple comment on Virtanen last year. So I'm happy that some other people aren't blind now, because even now, Virtanen has been playing like he doesn't even care about the game.

     

    PS. I'm not turning back on my notifications in case Virtanen's fans/defenders find me again. Some are probably still blind and think Virtanen plays amazing right now, so they will bully me off this forum again. I'm already taking my leave anyways and I don't have notifications on, so no need to send hate on me again. I won't see it. I only came back on to write this LONG post because I do have this little pettiness inside me due to the HUGE amount of hate I've endured back then from so many Virtanen fans/defenders...So hey to whoever that sent negative replies to me back then for my simple comment, KEEP ON DEFENDING VIRTANEN NOW!!! HE'S DEFINITELY WAY BETTER THAN MASON RAYMOND. HE EARNS LESS THAN ERIKSSON TOO. DEFINITELY USEFUL AND WORTH! GO BUY ALL HIS JERSEYS! :emot-parrot: I'm done now. Bye again. I have to run away from Virtanen's simps again before they all attack me again. :ph34r:

      Oh my god you left because people disagreed with you? That is pathetic. Literally, every day people are hating on my posts and I don't give a &^@#. This is a forum, everyone is supposed to have their own opinion and views.

      Virtanen bashers are out and about right now. I'm not sure why you're running away now. If you didn't like Virtanen before, not a lot of people like him now.

       

      If the Canucks are out, Virtanen for sure is getting shipped out. I'm convinced.

  2. I've seen some people who said similar things...Like to name Horvat first as he fits to be Captain right now, and they believe Pettersson can/will/should be Captain next/in future...I don't really know what people mean by that though, because Pettersson is only younger than Horvat by a few(3) years...So are they saying that we can wait until Pettersson becomes more experienced in the NHL/in English first, and then later strip Horvat of the 'C'? Dustin Brown even said that the process of stripping him of the 'C' made him feel like he was put in an "awkward spot". So I was just thinking that Petey and Bo would feel really awkward about the situation too...
  3. There's a bit of speculation that we will name a Captain next year as it fits into our 50th anniversary celebration time period though, since Henrik was named Captain during our 40th anniversary celebration time. Just saying---I don't mind waiting longer to name a 'C' either, but there's a possibility that the Organization is just waiting until next season comes to name one.
  4. That moment when people refuse to let you be "reminded" of another player just because they don't see it for themselves. :picard: I had to turn off notifications, so if I miss any reply---Sorry, I just didn't know about it.

      Just know that Virtanen fans are really bad at reading. :ph34r:

      Who did he remind you of?

  5. How can we add people who don't even know them? I was only talking about people who don't use the internet or go to this forum and choose not to say it who still at least knew them. I just explained the only reason why he reminds me of him and being "reminded" of someone else isn't something I chose on purpose or anything. It's not even an opinion either. Never have I once said that Virtanen and Raymond are 100% the same type of Hockey player.
  6. Did I ever say Raymond falling down reminds me of Virtanen? I literally explained my reason and people still compare other things.
  7. Well, I mean...If you don't include the people who may not use the internet, does not go on this forum, and they may not choose to say it. Then maybe.
  8. Yeah, I remember someone in 2015 said Virtanen reminded him of Mason Raymond first, while I didn't see it at that time. But now I did. So we're not the only ones.
  9. I thought comparing was like saying who was better than who, which I never did...? I only said he reminded me of him, and then I explained my only reasoning after. Yet...Then people started disagreeing with me by starting to compare their other attributes that did not match. LOL It's not like I said he was a total copy of him.
  10. We should offer to sharpen his blades, so he can help us with scoring.
  11. I remember watching him in the Canucks Superskills Fastest Skater Competition and I was scared he'd fall down.
  12. Well, I wasn't the first person to think they were similar. Virtanen during WJC time, somebody said he was a puck-hogger like Raymond. That being said, I never thought of Raymond as a puck-hogger. And I never mentioned that they were exactly similar either.
  13. Virtanen reminds me of Mason Raymond, I always see them being able to skate around with the puck for a lot of seconds, but can't seem to have the finishing touch to putting it in the back of the net. *EDIT*: I don't get to choose the fact that someone has REMINDED me of someone, so stop with the disagreement and comparisons if you don't see it. I see it, and it's not something you can start talking to me about to try to change my mind or anything because it's not even an opinion. I was reminded of another person by someone, so it's an experience that I've already went through. You can't go back and change something I've already experienced. *EDIT*: Double-edit just because I realized that people still don't read very well. I literally explained the ONLY reason why JV reminds me of MR in this comment, and people started disagreeing with me(there was no point in disagreeing with me anyways, because it wasn't even an opinion...) by adding their own comparisons of the players' other attributes that I've NEVER mentioned before. I have never said they were 100% the exact type of Hockey player, so I don't understand why people were acting as if I said they were similar in every single way? Also...If you don't feel the same way/see it, then that's fine by me...But the fact that a lot of people were making so much drama out of it by praising JV while putting MR down and accusing me of comparing those two(While they are the ones who started to actually compare them...Hypocrites?)...I was just saying that the sudden thought of another player just popped up because of ONE reason...And that's it. That was all. I'm seriously tired of replying back to people who didn't read my comment clear enough...I never thought that a lot of people here couldn't read well here and liked accusing me of saying things that I never did...So I'll be turning notifications off as I don't even want to know and read another comment by a person who didn't read well enough again. Therefore, if I didn't reply back to you...Know that it's just because I didn't know about it.
  14. My personal hope is most likely impossible to achieve and may not be agreed upon others, but I would like to share it anyways... I just really hope that we can find somewhat a "perfect"(I know perfect is impossible, but I mean like one that's nice enough that most of us can agree on) logo/jersey for our team, so we'd all be able to make a sea of -insert colour- in Rogers Arena. I don't really care for the Flames, but whenever I see their sea of red in the Saddledome... I can't help but feel a bit jealous because it shows that their fanbase is there for them/all the people in their arena is cheering for them. I personally really like the Vancouver Millionaires jerseys, and it's not like I dislike any of the past Canucks jerseys at all either. However, our arena looks like there's a bunch of random colours in the seats and I don't think it looks very nice or shows the support clear enough... Maybe it's just me who feels this way, but I just wanted to put it out there anyways.
  15. Well, I was one of the biggest Horvat 'Future Captain' fans before. But now after realizing how important EP is to our team, I can't help but start to question as well...
  16. Haven't logged in for a few months and the forum changed?! What happened to my other 500 posts I made?

      Stargirl! You're back!

  17. Yeah, exactly! Could totally see that he really wanted that goal and it could've been his if only the refs didn't ruin it... Feel bad for him. Hope he gets a goal soon!
  18. I hope you are wrong! :| Having to suffer another injury after his shoulder surgery is definitely concerning.
  19. I thought he's going to turn 19 this August.
  20. Thanks for all of the kind words directed my way during the tournament. It was a lot of fun to make these videos for y'all and I'm glad it was of use. (I'm a little worried about copy-right related issues that'll force me to remove them but I'll deal with it when it becomes pertinent.) Cheers, guys! Thanks for doing all of this! Appreciate it.
  21. lol i was just implying that i wanted to see him play a bit more
  22. Sigh. Virtanen benched for the rest...
