ruilin96 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Virtanen has gone from "is he a bust" to "SHOT-GUN JAKE!" This year's team has a lot going for them, and I really miss Canucks hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Jake would’ve hit 20 goals this season. Maybe 21 goals if he had a really good end to the season. But unfortunately he didn’t make it there because of the pandemic. management ought never to trade this local beauty. He’s had to mature for sure since being in the NHL. But Green has definitely made a difference. Now only if he could get more top six minutes. He could get the minutes boy he’d be a huge difference maker to the club I think. he’ll never be the player I don’t think that many fans wanted to compare him to - Ehlers and Nylander. But that’s okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Imo, the only question with Jake is discipline. 3rd/2nd line RW is his if he can stay focused off ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm more concerned about long-term discipline. He was great this year and showed far more consistency, but I want to continue seeing it. I'd rather keep him on 3 year or shorter contracts to keep him motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKirk888 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 After watching the best of Jake vid from this year I am so impressed by this kid's progression. After spending his sophomore season in Utica, he fought to make the team. This season has been a huge stepping stone for him. He's only 23! When he is a more seasoned vet in 3 or 4 seasons around 27 I can see him becoming a major part of the team and the power forward everyone wanted him to be. As has been mentioned, if he can keep his focus and consistency, I think he could be a solid 2nd line presence and big point getter. Fingers crossed for Shot Gun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he showed some improved mastery of puck skills. This included in corners and puck battles. Before he had 3 moves. Rotate the puck almost as soon as he received it? Go wide on the break with speed! Misguided turnover or over handling with his head down... This year he hung on on to the puck. Protected it. Made some simple moves. Discovered an ability to slip in a drop pass while cycling. And kept his head up, realized he could see decisions that were worth making. Suddenly he can see the game and control some plays. Now that he has some vision? Its worth mentioning the growth could be exponential considering his physical skills. 1 2 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the camera just being a "mirror" and he is actually on the left side of the car. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely, the NHL logo is mirrored.

Popular Post DeNiro Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 Man I hate some fans in this market sometimes. Who the F cares? He posted a 3 second video where he looked at the camera once. I look away from the road that long looking at my nav screen. People will rip this guy for anything apparently. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the smartest decision to do that, but certainly was overblown yesterday. But news is pretty slow right now, so some people are finding things to whine about and so happen Jake fell into their crosshairs.
