They were saying that it should become a thing that everyone should drink a beer every time Jake scores. I'm in. What about you all? I'll buy myself a nice 12 pack for this purpose and pray I finish it by seasons end. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is hockey, a game he has been steadily improving in, which is why people on here are getting excited about him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CanuckGAME Posted August 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2018 So many downers on here. If you cant see how jake is just about ready to breakout maybe you're blind. Kid was killing it the the last 1/3rd of the season. I'm serious when I say, if jake doesnt score 20 next year ban me. I'm willing to bet my account that I've had over a decade that Jake will score over 20 goals next season. That's if he doesnt have any injuries. Kid is ready to explode onto the scene next year. 3 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol that is funny how you think that, just because I point out the obvious Just comparing Virtanen is funny Why not compare Jake or McDavid to speed skaters? It means nothing (even one of them with a hockey background may get points too) Ever think of how many players want to do and show up McDavid? He only has to play 80% to be better than most If any player is trying 110% on a rare shift not to be shown up against him means very little I guess we should have held onto Cole Cassels too Virtanen may turn out useful , But hockey is more than speed Virtanen may be able to punish (I haven't seen enough of that yet, It appears he thinks he is a goals scoring machine) who doesn't do enough of anything right now He lead all forwards with 156 Hits last season.. That's including all the newcomers like Schaller and Roussel.. You don't have to obliterate someone along the boards or throw people back 10 feet to make an effective hit......(especially in Today's NHL ruling, that's very hard to do) From what I saw last year, he was doing what was asked of him by checking/ skating hard at 4th line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people say Jake doesn’t hit enough I think he’s being held to some unreasonable expectations. He hits plenty. I also agree his play in the second half of last season was night and day. He was a hound on the puck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the way Virtanen and Leipsic play together. Speed kills and JV's size and Leipsic puck skills balance each other well. Was really thinking Gaudette would look nice in the middle there before July 1 when it seems they gave AG's NHL spot away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...who did they give his spot to? I know the Canucks signed a 4th line centre but I don't think the Canucks signed any 3rd line UFA centres. Who got his spot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So easy to figure out who listens to TMZ 1040 -- that was what Kuzma said this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis probably loves him to death, but can't play a guy who's not 100% dedicated, dreaming of pussy, or slow of wits. Jake's at least starting to prove that he's focused. I personally think he's ready to rip and Travis should start him almost every game, just because he can get the opposition a few ways. Big hit, hard shot, great pressure.. take your pick. Lets see what we actually have and make him elevate. Edited August 8, 2018 by Western Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to see that it is you who listens to 1040 and knows that. Me? I can just count to 16 forwards who require waivers plus Petterssen who is in front of Gaudette and see he isn't being given a fair chance.
