avelanch Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well, yeah, Nazzy's a lefty, i'm pretty sure he'd miss that 5/5 times But please, Naslund had the best wrister in the entire NHL at his prime. Will Virtanen? I'm not trying to be a debbie downer, but probably not. no, that honor belonged to Sakic. Naslund was a very close second though.

Outsiders Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 beast. Needs to work on defensive side of game in order to make the Canucks. Much like Shinkaruk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 his defensive game looked fine for what little of it we saw (his line was in the offensive zone nearly the entirety of his time on the ice.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) I think we're pretty much set on LW for the future with Jake and Hunter, just need that elusive top line RW and future top D man then we're good to go. Edit: Can Virtanen play RW too? Or do I have his position completely mixed up? Edited December 27, 2014 by Pears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks1219 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think we're pretty much set on LW for the future with Jake and Hunter, just need that elusive top line RW and a and a future top D man then we're good to go. I think I've had this conversation before but I'll reiterate. I think that he will be a full time RW in the pros. He has already made the switch with the Hitmen, playing exclusively as a RW. I don't know how much sense it makes to then move him back to his off-wing when he moves into the professional ranks, after consecutive years of development on the right side. He has experience on the LW so he will be able to take that spot if necessary. But, again, I think he will be an every day RWer. That gives us RW depth of Virtanen, Jensen, Kassian, and Vey as potential top-6. The only pure LW potential top-6 is Shinkaruk. If centres (McCann, Gaunce) move to the left wing, then our centre depth gets depleted and we all know how important that is to rectify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Will the people that blow Nylander and Ehlers finally shut up now. Did you see Nylander's go ahead goal or Ehler's slapper? Why even bring them up when they had equally good games? Quit trolling, it's a Virtanen thread. Naslund might have missed that 4 times out of 5. Awesome hands...that behind the back pass would have been buried by anyone on the top 3 lines... We can all agree it's a very tough shot, but then again my favourite goal I ever scored was very similar (rebound off the end boards). The biggest differences were I was deeper and had to reach back across the goal line and then shoot it, but then even with a split second longer to control it the goalie was already hugging the post so I had to put it over his shoulder into the top corner. It might have been minor hockey (my Bantam year I think) rather than the world juniors but it's still proof that even a grinder like me can score a highlight reel goal from a difficult angle with limited reaction time. I'll take that from Virts though, even if he does miss the next 4 like it. Edited December 27, 2014 by elvis15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really comparing what you did in Bantam to what JV did on a world stage against the best players his age in the world? I believe I have heard it all now folks. Listen, the 11 goals I scored in a game when I was 7 must be that much better than only the 5 Gretzky ever scored in a game at the NHL level. I think I even missed on 9 shots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 No one else plays like Virtanen on team Canada, that's why I think he will be a great NHL player one day. If we were able to land Crouse this draft I would be stoked, but I doubt it. His speed is literally ridiculous, fastest player out there, but without looking like he's trying to hard. Only gonna get better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If Kassian put in 1/2 the effort Virtanen does, no one would be complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
