  1. Great hit by Virtanen to start the play the other way.
  2. Bob Mackenzie had some good things to say about Virtanen in the intermission. Always like it when I hear Bob praise our players. He's one the few opinions I actually pay attention to.
  3. I tune into the game and it's 1-0, less than 5mins later it's 4-0. I should probably be watching more games, it's my patriotic duty!
  4. Looks like I tuned in at the right time. 3-0 Canada
  5. What number is Virtanen wearing, first time I've been able to time in. Nvm...found him
  6. I'm going to go out a limb and predict he finished the season with 20-25 points. Pretty damn good for a 19yr old defensive 4th liner.
  7. Wow, that's a pretty out there statement. Time to put on that tin foil hat.
  8. Although he didn't play his best, that 4th line still played well. The only line that really had any sustained energy
  9. Awesome stuff! Thanks for that!
  10. Smiling ear to ear while watching that! Very pleased!
  11. Wow, he is deceptively quick on his feet, especially for such a big man. Great stick too. Would be interesting to see some of his KHL highlights.
  12. It's hard to make an impact with 7 mins of ice time, but he still managed a few good plays, good positioning and not a liability. So, ok game, nothing to get real excited about, but something to build off of. If everyone was healthy though, he'd be the scratch.
  13. I hope everyone isn't building him up just to fall. I'm not expecting much for his debut game, solid defence and solid face offs and I'd be happy for his first game.
  14. I think that would be the best for his development, it's a shame.
  15. Further to that, he has admitted to not playing well the first 8 games and that last night was he first night he felt he played well. Sorry I can't find the quote, but I think I heard it on 1040 Edit: it was posted earlier from a tweet from Ben Kuzma
  16. That sounds like he could go back and forth without having to clear waivers as long as it is less than 10games or 30 days
  17. I was against sending him back to juniors out of training camp, but after he gets some ahl exposure 9 nhl games, then sent back for WJC, all the while gaining daily experience just being/working with the pros. I don't think it would be nearly as bad if he went to juniors after WJC. He at least gets a very big taste of the pros to fuel him for the last half of junior and the playoffs. Then most likely, join Utica after London's season is over. Sounds like a real solid development path if he doesn't earn a spot for the year.
  18. agreed and fair enough. He has to earn it.
  19. I wouldn't call Bo self-entitled. Not from what I have seen and heard so far.
  20. Hopefully some of our Utica brothers will post some highlights of the game. Please!
