On top of points, he hits, forechecks, takes pucks away more than he gives them away and makes the most of the mins he gets. He's a very well rounded player, imo. You never quit do you? Do you have a poster of Jake on your wall? There is also zero evidence to make us believe that he will stop acting like an entitled adolescent goof. Well Rounded?......Well there’s a joke there....But I think I’ll resist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see that, you are purposely not reading half the posts on here. Not sure why people are getting so defensive of the morons who couldn't handle a result they didn't like. It did happen. I for one don't want it to happen again because it's something we as Canucks fans have to now live with for the rest of time. Any fan of any other team can hold it over us because it happened and it was pathetic. When I read people losing their marbles over how much they hate Jake, I can only imagine this mindset is what led to that debacle: Either quote the posts/posters that you think exhibit hatred towards any player otherwise shut your yap. No one here as far as I know was rioting so the riot had literally nothing to do with the rest of us. There is no such thing as "guilt by association", anyone who believes in it is either a moron or just being an a-hole. Either way their opinion is not important and I am not sure why any Canucks fan would repeatedly throw that in our face, which just makes me believe that you aren't really a fan and just another dull troll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's posters like you who never quit. If you're a real Canuck fan, why don't you support and encourage our guys instead of continually looking to tear down players. There's a few of you who do this. Are you really a Canuck fan? Jake isn't perfect, but I would take him over the boys you probably wished the Canucks drafted. One other thing, I sure hope you're as perfect in your own life to justify your constant criticism of Jake and other players on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something about him that really rubs some of us the wrong way. I realize I am setting myself up for abuse from at least one of his legion of devotees. I'm curious, do you know Jake personally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teepain Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Only reason jake could be out is because ferland can do a better job if healthy. They have similar traits among them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Jake will get his chance. I've believed in the guy since we drafted him, but if he's not ready to play then I'm glad he's getting the seat. Be ready for your opportunity Tuna because you have so much potential to do damage in the playoffs. We all want to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry..I thought he was the supporters..didn't read his original message of hating Jake..haha.my bad. But everyone has their own opinion on what they base it from. Some people base it from his personality through media, some people base it on his looks, some people base it on his improving stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
