2SKATES1STICK Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I hope Ferraro's wrong and he becomes a 1st or 2nd line forward, otherwise we've wasted the highest pick this franchise has had in over a decade. Good teams don't waste top-10 picks on a 3rd liner. Good teams make first and second line players out of these high picks (and even later picks). I sincerely hope we haven't blown this. It just hurts when you see Nylander and Larkin, who were drafted after Virtanen, absolutely dominate the world juniors and really show their stuff. It's hard to judge players in their own respective leagues before they're compared to their draftees in a tournament like this, but good drafting teams like the Red Wings and Bruins find ways to draft fantastic players before seeing them develop. it hurts? wow the kid was nearly the youngest player there, and came off surgery so he's another 6 months behind his development. mdc didn't even make the team, ritchie was so slow. virtanen holds the puck, knocks down checks that come at him, and keeps going. he was faster than everyone. don't be butthurt, theres a lot to be stoked about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You do realize points and hockey IQ come hand in hand? So Kesler does have a high hockey IQ. Bertuzzi lot's of points not much IQ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Actually most of what sets top players apart besides sheer natural talent is nothing more than a LOT of real, hard work. exactly and it seems as If jake has the effort level to get there. It's like if you put burrows brain into kassians body you would have a nhl star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If people are panicking we drafted Jake so high. We drafted Gustav Forsling in the 5th round. And he was one of the best D-men and top ten in point getters in the tourney. Relax, he's got a ways in his development. Panic if he comes into training camp looking like Trent Klatt.

Forsling has a ways to go in his development, yup. Virtanen's a lot closer. Not sure if anyone is panicking about anything at the moment, as the discussion has gone over to Jake's hover hand on that radio dj chick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AndrewH Posted January 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2015 WTF? Looks like you started typing with only one hand again. Hope you locked the door. I read that comment and thought to myself. Why do people say such perverse things like this. Would you say that to a person in public? We need to get rid of the idea that its acceptable to post stuff like this because it is anonymous. We are held accountable for the things that come out of our mouths and so we should be accountable for the things that we type. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from a freaking movie Thank you sir, didn't realize I was being labeled a wanker for quoting a movie i was certain most every adult has seen. To the sensitive guy who was so worried about being accountable for what we type, you couldn't have just googled what i posted before you spoke up? what if JR didn't post that GIF and i never noticed your response? you would have defiled my character under false pretenses. Being conscientious of what we put on the internet goes both ways. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I think the argument here is over the message not who said it... Just because someone says something sexist or racist in a song or a movie or anywhere in the media does not make it acceptable as something to incorporate into your dialect. I understand the use of a reference as a joke, but this is not a movie, this is real life where everything we say can be tied back to us personally in someway. Respect is something that's earned not given and few people today put in the effort to obtain it in the anonymous online world we live in. Say what ever you want to say, just think about the ramifications first. As for Virtanen he seems like the type to put the needs of the many above the needs of the few, I think that will serve him well in his NHL career.
