Beastmode33 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 lul He was just thrown on a line with players he has no experience with at all. So let us crystal ball RIGHT NOW, shall we? I dont see anyone calling him a bust, just observing whats wrong with his play so far, no crystal ball needed for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 lul He was just thrown on a line with players he has no experience with at all. So let us crystal ball RIGHT NOW, shall we?

klw604 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 He needs to learn how to play with other players and not just float. He plays on a Calgary team with poor line mates so the best hope for him would be to get a trade and be on a team with strong cycling so he can learn that part of the game. The game he plays now won't cut it in the pros. Completely agree, standing and waiting on the left side draw won't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Virtanen didn't have a good period. That's fact. He got put on a line with players he hasn't played with at all so far. That's also fact. It's one thing to predict his future off of this one period, but there's nothing wrong with saying he didn't play particularly well in it. He didn't have a great period so let's hope he does better in the second. And then better in the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Completely agree, standing and waiting on the left side draw won't work No he should go to where his linemates are, dig the puck out, and pass to... himself... who should have been open. Idiot guy not being open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickly Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Buncha armchair coaches in here. The kids 18 years old. He has holes in his game, yes, but the harsh criticism is unnecessary. It's noted that he has to improve on his positioning. He will be the Canucks most exciting prospect/player in a few years time. You can't teach the hard nosed, nasty north south game he plays. Plus he has a pretty good shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmode33 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Next period, focus on McDavid, see if you notice the same things. I will save you the time, you WILL. Half the team is out of position all the time, it's the wjc. New line mates, new cciach Thanks for coming out brick, appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewmaster12 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 He floats in the offensive zone. Always on the left side and is expecting a pass to come to him. He needs to go down low to retrieve pucks. Frustrating watching him play ! I see the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmode33 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Improve the quality of your posts, perhaps? Look in the mirror. Oh wait you are too busy trolling every thread ever made on cdc.

Webster6 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Jake positioning appears better this period, and if he would scored instead of swinging and missing on the glorious chance than everyone would've shut right up lol. Edit: and after the great pressure from that line the boys kept coming next shift and put 'er in Edited January 3, 2015 by Webster6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta76 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Good shift by Virt. Got in on the cycle game and also had a couple good chances in front. That shift partially lead to the Crouse goal. Edited January 3, 2015 by Delta76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) No man.. If Jeff Carter's skill set: {A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H} Then Jake Virtanen's skill set: {A, B, C} Jake has a long ways to go before he starts playing like Carter. Okay, so Carter has almost 3x the skill set as Virtanen, and every skill Jake has Carter also has? So Jake does not have anything at all that Carter doesn't already possess?
