Johnny Torts Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I’ll start off with a Boeser - Laine comparison. Laine has had 5 points (3G 2A) so far this season. Boeser, in his SOPHMORE year, has 7 points, 2G 5A. Not a bone in my body is worried about the rightful owner of the 2017-2018 Calder trophy had he been healthy. I have liked every single one of Jakes games this season. He’s been hitting like a truck, and playing a hard 200ft game. Those are the type of support players we need along the likes of Beagle and Sutter. I heavily disagree with the mainstream media and I do think Virtanen is a solid NHLer already, and has potential for more. Happy Halloween Folks!

King Heffy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Jake has as many goals in 2 games as Laine has in his whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FedorFedorov Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I think it's way too early to write off Virtanen. He's only 22 years old. Give him time to develop still. Let's see where he is in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Fivehole0 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Virtanen is on pace for 29 goals over 14 games. I could see him scoring 20-25 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 If someone told me five years ago that we'd have a guy in our middle/bottom six who was lightning fast, could throw massive hits and had untapped offensive talent I'd be over the moon Jake's doing just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Halloween costumes Boeser and Virtanen switched jerseys tonight! Virtanen looked great tonight! I for one am happy the guys on these forums aren’t in charge otherwise we’d have traded Virtanen for a 3rd round pick a couple years ago lol.

J-23 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It would be nice if Jake could play LW with Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm not going to get too excited over Virtanen yet. He's done this before and disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the makings of a really effective line for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that paring as they both grow look out. If Gaudette can make the plays Jake has the shot to score a few goals. They didnt look too bad defensively either.

Hindustan Smyl Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Virtanen has his shortcomings, but I’ve been really impressed by his development and expect him to be an integral core piece for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I think there are people on these boards who simply don't have patience. They become critical after months of drafting a player and then expect everything handed to them on a silver platter. They aren't willing to wait years for players to develop. Yet, that's not how the NHL works, at least not in general. There are obviously exceptions to the rule and that's what they focus on: the exceptions. I guess it's their ulcers and not mine in the end at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I really don’t care about Boeser’s stats. He’s doing nothing positive on the ice. No defensive effort, extremely low percentage of passes completed and easy ones at that, and he’s slow as molasses. Brock needs a health and mind reset and putting him in a game every second night might prove to be counterproductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
