  1. Misread your post as well. He is more of a Richards in terms of physicality. Virtanen's shot is much better than Kreider's but the way they burst into the zone and hit is so similar. Watching Kreider in last years playoffs was a treat, wouldn't mind if Virtanen turned out to be like him.
  2. could go either way. Was caught with his head down this game and was hit hard.
  3. Currently, Kreider is the nhl player who reminds me most of Virtanen... I do think that Virtanen has his own style though
  4. Booth actually hit pretty hard. Still remember him running over people in the LA series
  5. Virtanen took Lazars spot it seems.
  6. Funny thing is Virtanen had 3 assists when he played on a line with Ritchie in a camp game this year. Lazar did great with Petan last year as well so why not put them together? Ritchie-McDavid-Virtanen would look great
  7. Had no idea Virtanen played for the Vancouver Selects.... turns out my team played him and lost 0-15. Probably erased that from my memory

      LOL, that didn't make the highlight package.

  8. I like Crouse on his line as well, but i think Ritchie would be a better option as he plays a similar game but with more skill and playmaking ability. There's something about Gauthier that I don't like. I dunno, just don't think he's a good fit.
  9. Virtanen with his best game so far. Too bad he's stuck with Gauthier. I still think he and Ritchie should be on the same line.
  10. i think Ritchie creates more space for McDavid, which allows him to slow down the game to create plays. Virtanen could be a goos fit as well, but in a different way.
  11. what? Werent you the guy who made the thread stating why we should draft him?
  12. Ritchie was much more effective in the summer games, super series, and this game. Don't know whats with all the Ritchie hate.
  13. what did i tell ya Edit: missed this
  14. I thought Point looked better than Dal Colle today and the subway series
  15. Ritchie was played twice in OT while Virtanen was glued to the bench. Would rather see Ritchie in the lineup over Dal Colle. Still think Virtanen would look good on the opposite side of ritchie
  16. Just ran over a russian after the period ended. Wish it was that dinosaur looking Fishenko though.
  17. When Kassian and Foligno were together they were dominant. Hitting everything in sight while creating chances with Johansen/Cizikas. Would be nice to see two more skilled players in Virtanen and Ritchie do the same.... Minus the suspension that Kassian had
  18. i love working legs, hit 500 lbs on the deadlift a few months ago. Felt high on life the next few days.
  19. Alright so i haven't worked out consistently in nearly two months (after hitting my bench pr) due to a combination of laziness, school, and injury. This is the longest break i've ever taken from working out consistently (still worked out at least once a week for most weeks while playing casual hockey at 2-3 times a week) and im just wondering how long it usually takes you guys to get back to regular form after a long break. Despite the fact that i've been eating like crap, i've lost around 6 pounds.
  20. Button has McDavid between Ritchie and Virtanen as Canada's first line. So stoked if this becomes true

  21. He's not bad but not good enough to keep up. You can tell he has skill but it's basically being wasted on the fourth line, his play sorta reminds me of Dalpe last year with Bo having much more potential.
  22. No question Ritchie is mean. However, Virtanen in conconsistent when it comes to physicality. I watched Ritchie a lot last year (wanted him over Virtanen) and he was only physical when he was angry or felt like it. Sorta like Kassian. Virtanen hits whenever he gets the chance.
  23. Nick Ritchie can do those things as well. Him and Virtanen play very similar games.
  24. weise just lost the nhl punching bag award by beatong campbell :(
