  1. Virtanen is a better skater and is a marginally better shooter than Ritchie. Other than that, Ritchie beats him in every category. People say Ritchie might not be able to manhandle NHL guys like he does junior guys, yet Virtanen so often runs through defenders and he most certainly will not do that against NHL defensemen
  2. The hostility is strong in this one. What happened? Did you lose your job?
  3. IMO, this pick is crucial for our identity. If we take a guy like Ehlers/Nylander, we'll have a smaller, more skilled top 6 with Shink ready in a couple years. If we take Ritchie, we'll have a pretty big top 6 with a pontential monster line of Ritchie - Horvat - Kassian. We can't really go wrong with any though.
  4. Did Beach leave his physical body and take over Ritchie? They're two completely different people and they will have 2 completely different careers. I can easily make a list of 5'11 guys that are fast and don't pan out
  5. contrary to popular belief, you'll notice that there are actually more white people when you step into UBC The things Sterling said aren't even offensive. People are making too big of a deal out of what he said. What we deal with is more than this. If the only things I had to deal with were guys like Sterling, the world would be more peaceful. At least he keeps his racism within him and doesn't spew it out

  7. Personally, I'd like to see him at 220 rather than 215. Toughness and size is a part of his game, we can't take that away. 220 should be fine. That'll allow him to skate faster while being a physical presence
  8. let's paraphrase what he said - he dislikes minorities and he doesn't want her to have blacks on her instagram and he does not want her to bring blacks to games Is this guy not allowed to have his own opinion? He did not explicitly say anything negative or offensive about blacks. He obviously doesn't like them, but he never said anything that should gather this type of reaction. You can look up 'black jokes' on google and any of them are more offensive than what he said. Notice how it is all white people that are offended? All of us minorities have experienced this, we have all dealt with this and what he said is nothing compared to what we deal with on a regular basis. Just take a look in some universities. A chinese kid has 98% average yet the spot goes to a white kid with 94% average. There is no surprise that we get sh*t on, on a daily basis. If we all get recorded for what we say in our own homes, we will all go to jail or end up in mental asylums. People making a big deal out of this like how they make a big deal out of everything...
  9. tbh, there's such a slim chance of Canucks drafting Ehlers. I have no doubt he'll make it big though but no matter what you say, I just don't see him as a guy in the west
  10. "with the first overall pick in the 2014 NHL draft, the Florida Panthers are proud to select from the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL, Jake Virtanen" - BanTSN
  11. From what I heard, he's been training hard and has shed some of the baby fat and has cut down to a bit over 220. Skating is not an issue for him though
  12. CHL all the way. The Europeans this year are tiny and there are barely any americans
  13. Is his skating a concern? Or is it just not a strength of his?
  14. Yea that's my exact reason for wanting LA to win. If not, I'd like to see Chicago or Anaheim
  15. When you compare the two players at 18, Ritchie is much more complete. Lucic wins in toughness but Ritchie is a better skater, shooter, passer
  16. Don't want to read the previous 70 pages so can somebody give me some insight on his skill? I.e. shot, skating, vision, planking skills, physicality
  17. You made some decent points until you brought up Bure's name.
  18. he had tree trunk legs and had a legendary core. He trained like a pro very early on. Also, Crosby's talent level is unbelievable. He would go 1st overall regardless of his size
