Damn, I was wondering about that. As others have mentioned, I've seen him wince a few times after big shoulder checks this season. Hopefully not a permanent issue.

Noble 6 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Virtanen has been playing a lot better recently. His physical game has translated very effectively to the NHL level. That was the first challenge for him, to keep his physicality up. Hopefully he can continue to get better in that area and then we will have a true physical force at forward. His scoring should start to increase in about 2 years. Once it does, he will be a beast for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Pre-game show on 1040. Only caught a few minutes of it, but that was enough to catch some of his gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope this is just a temporary thing Kesler's a big boy though so I'd get why he felt hurt but I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandre Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Didn't this goal by Jake against Calgary show good hockey sense? Some people here thought he had poor hockey sense. "In short, hockey sense means being one step ahead of the play. It’s about going to where the puck will be, and reading where your team mates and opponents will be. Now that we have a better understanding of hockey sense, lets learn how we can develop it."http://howtohockey.com/hockey-sense-yes-you-can-learn-it/ Virtanen must be a fast learner if he started this season having poor hockey sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people mix up hockey IQ with play making. Imo his play making ability sucks ass. He doesn't play the game like a sedin would. He's very north south. Like Kessle ovechkin.

I suspect though, that you will get more examples of Jake's good hockey sense soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
