kazin! Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 He sure is getting some Grade A ice time but has very little to show for it. Playoff round is what matters though so let's hope he picks it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Strome and Marner have shown some skilled flashes, but nothing consistent either. Best part about these tournaments is the round robin doesn't realllly matter. It's all about the playoff round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Strome and Marner have looked great at times (mostly on the PP) and pretty bad at others. There's been plenty of guys who have been downright invisible, like Perlini for example.

Tystick Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Bad game for Canada, but I thought Virtanen played a decent game. - Regarding the PP, I think he works better on the left-side of the boards instead of the net front presence. - When Virtanen got mad, he showed why we drafted him and how effective he can be when he uses his body to cause turnovers. For whatever reason, he's not putting in that serious effort consistently like last year. To me its pretty evident this year's team is very weak and we don't appear to have the drive needed to win gold. But who knows, the real test starts vs Finland.

Warhippy Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Aside from that first bad penalty and that crease violation in the 1st. Virtanen had a decent game, if he didn't have the puck he was terrorizing the opposing defense, he was hitting everything that moved and forcing the swedish players to look at more than just the puck. Decent game if you look at more than simply points as a statistic for a prospect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sure perlini'd that shift didn't he 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta play by instinct. It looks to me like he has gotten used to playing under the NHL structure. Obviously, the rest of the team doesn't play like that. Jake has gotten better each game I think.

I said you obviously didn't watch much hockey in berts hey day. You refused to go look. There's no reasoning to be had. You made an erroneous and false statement and won't go look to correct it, so you told me to stop quoting you. Deal with it. As well, Virt played a solid game. Team canada didn't.
