Mackcanuck Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Virtanen has a ways to go before he could reach what Kesler had accomplished on this team, like getting caught being with a teammate's fiance, having the "A" yanked off his sweater by his teammates in the dressing room and given to Bieksa, then demanding a trade to only one team, because he doesn't want his kids growing up in the "fishbowl" of Vancouver because he is such a caring family man. I don't want Jake anything like d-bag Kesler. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Bersnoozi Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think Kes and Virtanen are similar in some ways, both are right shots and similar size. I think Kes is more the two-way centre type, kind of like a Mike Peca. Virtanan looks like more of the power foward type (mix of physical play and goal scoring ability). I'm hoping Jake will become an Owen Nolan type player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's appropiate to post this crap here, but I swear the more times I hear these type of rumours, the more I think they're put out there to justify the latest trade of a star to a southern franchise. Spreading these rumours doesn't really help anyone in particular. That's part of the reason why there are rules here to see that it doesn't happen. There are other forums for this kind of talk. Google to find your favorite. I lol'd at the post in one of these 'dirt' forums by this apparent Kesler victim who caved in to his relentless stalking or whatever.

Gstank29 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Always start a new sentence with a capital letter. Also, if you want your writing to make more of an impact, try to refrain from using 'to be' verbs. What ever you say boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 A lot of opposing fans and players will hate him like they did Kesler. Cause Kesler in his prime was a beast. Virtanten is that, and then some... Difference being, Virtanen plays a tough but clean game, doesn't dive, and doesn't chirp endlessly. He'll have a lot more respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example on trade deadline some troll on here made a post about Patrick Sharp having affairs with some of the hawk players wife's. After this troll successfully posted this on his status; the comments on Sharp rumour thread included many people posting the same nonsense. This shows the extreme gullibility the hockey community on here has. Bottom line, don't believe these crappy rumours that trolls create due to their own personal fantasies.

Brick Tamland Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Could be doing better. Personally I am expecting more in terms of point production sine he's a high 1st rounder. Seems to have improved on puck distribution. A hahahahaha, says the guy who hasnt seen a hitman game all year. Jake is doing just fine. He is elite at 3 areas of his development already, shooting, skating and hitting/checking. Elite to where he would be the fastest skater on the Canucks, likely the most physical and probably only slightly be Vrbata in terms of sniping. His defense needs work and he has spent a lot of time working on that. His role will be increased in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Lord Baltimore Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think Jordan Subban is the prospect most similar to Kesler that we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Kes is plays much better defensively. From what iv seen Virtanen is faster, hits harder and has better offense, but isnt the two way player Kes is. He's more like a Max Pacioretty That's great. Horvat especially is a fantastic 2 way centre, and I wouldn't be suprised if he turns into a 2.0 Kesler. Not to mention we have other great 2 way centres in the system.

Popular Post Mathew Barzal Posted March 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2015 Dont tell me your a stat watcher ... You seem above that. ... not all of us have time to watch both the Canucks and their corresponding farm teams. What else are we supposed to be judging him on? A top six pick should have elite offensive prowess and the only way to judge that is by stat watching. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
