Ya I could hear Nordstrom's head hitting the boards for sure! Give me a break. I guess I missed the stretcher? Virtanen had a good game. The fans on hear who regularly question his hockey IQ seem pretty quiet. He powered out of the corners and from behind the net a few times. Made some nice passes. As SilentSam suggests this kid has serious Bert potential. Keep playing him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I would hope if someone did that to one of our guys, they would get at least a game. It's illegal contact. And he's not a Young Bert. Bertuzzi was an east west player, Virt is North south. Nothing wrong with that, you need both types on your team but the comparison sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No place in the game for that, concussions are extremely dangerous. There is a difference between playing big and mean, and dirty. That crossed the line.

Once this young man grows into his prime, his shot, soft hands and power game will be with the leagues best. As much as I know it would not hurt to move him to the Comets, he is contributing here with the Canucks. Maybe we have the luxury of send Jake down for 10 and then up for 10? Skille can fill that hole if someone like LaBate or Zalewiski could work into a rotation as well. Either way, great depth this year, it will help us this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that Jake put his hand down trying to keep Nordstrom off balance,. Nordstrom was in a position where he could have retaliated on the initial hit from Jake and taken his knees out into the boards. Jake, HAS TO look after himself. the head slap was nothing.. If the Canucks don't carry an "air" of meanness, we will get destroyed this year again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he just kept his arm straight and held his head sure I can buy that. But he visually shoved his head into the boards like a WWE wrestler would do to another into the outside ring post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dizzle Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Uncalled for? Probably. A 'disturbing play by a disturbing player'....not even close. I understand the concern about head shots and concussions but my goodness, go watch some ringette (or the Alberta teams...which is pretty much ringette).

73 Percent Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I have a feeling jake will be missing games for this. It's not a huge deal but don't forget he's a.repeat offender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player, any player had done that to one of ours, these boards would go into meltdown. Is this another player who gets the refs after us and leads to lack of respect for our team? I hope not, I would be disappointed if the coach or TL hasn't told him to cut that kind of crap out. The guy who's head he rammed into the boards is 174lbs soaking wet. Way to go tough guy. .. Weight Class for hockey! Bobby Farnham will sign up for sure. ps. Nordstrom runs around 190, 200 soaking wet.

All joking somewhat aside, I get the concern I just don't think it was nearly as bad as some are suggesting. It almost looks like he tries to push his head down and back. Kind of like a piss off don't slash me type move. But the impact with the boards kind of makes it a lot more dramatic. If i was in the player safety department I would be keeping a very close eye on him. Probably send him a 50k fine too. If he does it again though in his career it will be more obvious his intentions. you don't see plays like that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I just don't see the heinousness of the act BUT, it was somewhat obscure (like you said don't see it often), likely should have been penalized, and IF he makes a habit out of doing things like that he'll probably get himself in trouble. Edit. Deserved trouble. Edited October 17, 2016 by J-Dizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
