Decided to wait till the full session is finished. They are clearing the ice now for the second half, and the bag skate will be coming up soon.

Maybe he held him to loft goals that were made to push him such as getting a quicker first step or... There are a huge amount of other goals out there. Remember there was a video posted a few days ago with him fishing. None of you commented on him being fat. Why is it starting now? He was wearing a jacket if I recall correctly, when the coach humiliates you on the first day of camp somethings up. We will see during the bag skate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in MX for awhile maybe I missed it What do you think it might be? He didn't like his skates or hair cut? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Cat Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 If Juolevi is in any discomfort...he shouldn't even be on the ice...They should shut him down now,...and let him ease his way into the Utica lineup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post A.V.'s slurp Posted September 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2019 What if its just TG is sick of Jake being a playboy and the goal was for him to have a steady gal by summers end? Hmm hmmm 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page 2 was the media conference yesterday when Green said guys need to put in a lot of off season work and be ready for training camp. Virtanen was the only player mentioned during that comment. Now he is in group 3 because he didn't meet his off season goals... You guys need to take your blinders off. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Well, if Virtanen doesn't leave the rest of Group C in the dust during the bag skate, then something is wrong. Speed is Jake's greatest asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't like his skates or hair cut? - fat - missed media - cardio - not getting quicker - not self motivated and needs a kick to get the season started. - missed the timing requirements in a drill - thought he was not giving his all in a couple drills and wanted to know he was not getting a free pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If im the coach or GM I would say that as well so when we trade his lazy ass we get more for him than a back of pucks. The guy has all the tools , that's what makes it so frustrating. I believe Jake will be on a very short leash this year. We have added some depth and guys and even a guy like Motte who brings it every night will be playing ahead of Jake and the Fatman if he doesn't get his sh-t together quickly. Jakes quickly turning into Taylor Pyatt without the fighting ability that Taylor Had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelar Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 If you watch this in full its quite clear that he has not met his fitness goals but does not want to totally drag the kid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyCanuck Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Go 50 secs in and you'll see to me a pretty built/thick Jake.... It could be anything but it's the first time for the players on the ice and everyone wants Jake gone.....can't we just be happy hockey is almost back!!!! Geez can't enjoy even the little things 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brouhaha Posted September 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2019 Was there for the first two groups and the one thing that stood out to me the most was Miller having a laser shot. The guy can rip it. Also Beagle is clearly a well respected leader on the ice. Also at one point, Stech wasn't happy with how he performed on one drill so he hammered the puck against the boards in frustration. The guy clearly cares a lot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
