Dogbyte Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 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!

Brick Tamland Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 There is always a little chip on Virts shoulder that just makes him a beauty to watch. Wait until he becomes a man... Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 You missed quite the sexy goal. Definitely "sounded" like it. Radio guys were raving about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedman Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) He was a great presence on the Swedish powerplay and 4-on-4, but he was quite lackluster at 5-on-5. I wouldn't go as far as saying he was "invisible" the entire game but he was a little underwhelming at 5-on-5. EDIT: I'm talking about the CAN vs SWE game of course. Just think the post itself is a typical CDC-post. Gotta throw your guy's rival under the bus to raise your own guy to the sky. Personally, i wasn't a big fan of the Virtanen pick. That being said, i hope he succeeds and that Benning proves me wrong with the pick. I like the type of game that Virtanen plays, and he seems like a great guy off the ice too. But really, Nylander has been far more impressive this season than Virtanen. Surgery or not. But Virtanen obviously has some strenghts that Nylander doesn't have.

Popular Post Knucklehd Posted December 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) 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.

Canucks1219 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I would try and describe it but it wouldn't do it any justice. Heard from someone he power-moved his way past a defenseman and roofed the puck from right in front of the net. Salivating over here. Must... see... it...

Yeah, I can't really argue with your first point. Both players are doing well for themselves but one of them has to suck or something. At least it often seems that way around here. 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. Agreed. Gotta respect McKenzie's input, and anytime it's about the Canucks and it's positive... Well, that makes me feel warm inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Virtanen obviously has some strenghts that Nylander doesn't have. A couple of inches and around 40 lbs is the deciding factor. I was happy with the pick simply because I've been a fan for decades and I've seen many skilled smaller forwards come and go. We need size and skill not just skill. We've gone down that road before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we also lack that 1st line center guy when Henrik is done. Nylander have the potential to be that guy. And he's not that small either tbh. Not even close to Chase De Leo as someone suggested lol. EDIT: It was DeAngelo. He's not smaller than DeAngelo though.
