Do we really want guys who, "need to be checked up on" on our team? I was thinking that question too but at the end of the day if it helps us win a cup then yes, check in. They are assets. Check up on them. Could be training, mental health, finances, relationships. I don't care they are 22 year old assets. Whatever it takes. We have all sorts of stuff at work for professional workers. It's no different. Edited September 13, 2019 by Chris12345 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of his goals could be showing up on time. I think coach Green really likes Jake and that's why he pushes him so hard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's not fitness goals are you mad at getting called out for misquoting TG and leaning on nothing more than speculation. No one is absolving Jake, just keeping things to what is factual 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaninMex Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 As I stated before, He could be a Fatty Mc Fatterson but it does not mean anything other than another crappy contract for Virt next year and less playing time for him. No big concern. Let the season play out and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it makes a difference. All I am saying is if I had $80M a year invested in assets I'd be checking in often and giving them any and all assistance. We all know someone who needed help.

A random comment does not get me worked up into a frenzy to condemn and trample Didn't say anything about condemning or trampling anyone... But it's pretty obvious that Jake didn't meet some of his off season training goals. Ignoring that completely is just as silly as getting overly worked up about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 That Hadwin video was really good, thanks for posting. Jake is looking a little, umm, thick. Funny playing the prank on Goldy. Hughes is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said is for people to take off their blinders if they seriously think this is all "speculation" and Jake's off season goals were not conditioning related.

EternalCanuckFan Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 36 minutes ago, stawns said: we don't even know they were conditioning goals that weren't met. Someone made a great point that it could be because he missed the media shindig yesterday. Anyway, doesn't seem like TG thinks its anything big, it's just how he treats Jake. Fair enough. I guess with Jake the assumption is it's conditioning but his absence yesterday was definitely noted. End of the day, looking forward to seeing how Jake (and the rest of the players of course) performs in camp and at pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller keeping up with Bo every step of the way. Stetcher is a beaut, gives it his all and looks like he is in mid season form. Hughes is so shifty and has a real quick stick, didn't get schooled in the battle drills at all. Goldy...I reserve judgement, but not very hopeful. How did Juolevi look besides the bag skate?

It's not speculation when there's evidence such as Green directly mentioning Jake while talking about all the work players need to put in in the off season. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you and this is 110% related to conditioning, body fat, and weight. Jake is in the "dog house". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
