aGENT Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just now, The 5th Line said: Barzal 9 goals 34 assists this year, Gauthier 29 goals 8 assists this year, safe to say we know who is the passer and who is the finisher there. It's still early so be careful what you wish for. I personally don't see Virtanen sticking on that top line very long, Perlini either for that matter, it's as though they put Point with two struggling wingers on purpose I doubt that's the top line. Crouse, Strome, Marner is likely the 1st but we'll see. And yes it's still early but given how 'obvious' some of you claim it is that Virt's nothing more than a useless grinder or such...it is amusing.

Unlike another Gauthier we've seen on TC recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Looking at those centers, man, if McCann went he'd dominate. Too bad he's not going. Watching him click with Virtanen would bring in some Canucks Christmas cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew we could let Virt go and with McCann being good injury cover it's harder to make that call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't realize it because you're so caught up in the emotion of the moment - and that's not to say you're not smart. It's obvious you 'get it' and are above average intelligence, but its hard reading negativity, put downs, mini-modding, condescension, even your status updates have negative sarcastic connotations. Winning has its place, as does empathy, and we all have to take a step back from time-to-time and evaluate whether we're talking at, down to, or with someone. The more you push negativity on people, the more they tune out. I'm not a big player around here, i pop in here and there, typically ill-formatted courtesy of my mobile, but you obviously want to be respected here for your opinions - and I do respect your opinions as they're well researched and backed by experience and you have good reasoning and logic. It's just so sad seeing someone like you getting caught up where it doesn't matter and picking fights by doing things like i called you out on. i look forward to more of your informative posts, and less of what you've been getting into the habit of recently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thats what I'm thinking. Somethingalong the lines of "the Canucks have to make a decision on Virtanen tonight if he is to travel with team canada"? I dunno. Might be losing it.

Down by the River Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Virtanen played a bit with Point last year and the two showed some chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Despite some people claiming that Virtanen is "not captain material", it's pretty evident that Virtanen's going to be looked up to. He's only one of 4 players returning from last year so he's going to have the experience. As a result, I wouldn't be surprised if Virtanen's given at least an "A" on his jersey. Even if he isn't, he'll still be looked up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to have so much depth each year that there's usually at least 1 or 2 guys who were practically "born" with the "C". I'm not really saying he'll get either, but an "A" would make sense given his previous WJC experience as well as his NHL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
