I don’t get the hate. He makes chump change sure he isn’t the best overall 6th pick but hell he isn’t terrible. Unlock the eye of The dark lord dude he isn’t the worst thing or biggest problem on the team Not getting it by the simple fact that he has top 6 talent but doesn’t want to “earn it”. Just because he did great in a bottom 6 role (and I’d say “better” as he was inconsistent and I do like him), doesn’t mean that’s “enough”. He was a 6th overall pick who has 25 goal ability and a lot to offer. The lack of professionalism he’s shown by not giving the effort in the offseason now 3 out of 4 years does suggest he’s not getting it. We didn’t draft him to be a 3rd/4th line winger. Now if that’s where he ends up because that’s his ceiling so be it, but you have to be your best to know where your ceiling is. He isn’t giving his best. Do you think if he came to camp in great shape (like Bo and Petey have), showing he was really committed this offseason people or the coaches would be on him? No, in fact he’d get a lot more rope because it would show he’s motivated and cares. His actions suggest the opposite.

Or were “off-season goals” about fitness. it seems many here want to play semantics and ignore common sense when it comes to what the issue is. I could care less if you want to be that ignorant. I like Jake but anyone who can’t see this is blatantly about his fitness is in denial. Not once does green or jake say it was fitness........it was the reporter.....no quotes backing up what you say.....your reaching just like that reporter 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Jake Virtanen the one and ONLY player who has refused to sign autographs for fans at training camp. 2 days in a row sneaks out a back door and avoids the fans. Autographs aren't an expectation but I think it's weird when hes the only guy who refuses, meanwhile Pettersson is hounded everywhere he goes for photos and autographs and does it with a smile on his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep offseason goals for a professional athlete are really how many games you win on NHL 19, he must have just missed it by 2 wins and told the coaches after his fitness testing and that’s why they sent him a message. Really, his offseason goals as a pro athlete had nothing to do with fitness. It’s just a coincidence that the issue arose after fitness testing. Yep! They really wanted him to meet that offseason nhl 19 goal of 200 wins, that’s gotta be it! smh Edited September 15, 2019 by Freddy40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Per Her Son Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) So he set some tough goals and just about achieved them, sounds like improvement.

dpn1 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Well today he was skating with everyone else. Wasn't in the doghouse long. Also, if it was conditioning it sure got fixed fast. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I’ll wait. Hutton played over 22 minutes a night for the Canucks mostly due to injuries. Byfuglien only played 42 games last season and averaged over 24min a night - they had to spread his minutes around. Myers was 4th with 20:20. In the playoffs with Byfuglien healthy he was 5th with 18:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Early returns on Myers seem to be good. Obviously extremely early, doesn't mean much necessarily. But a big guy that can move the puck will be a welcome addition. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to stay in school So what offseason goals are they referring to? NHL 19 wins, fishing derby caught fish, how many slices of Pizza Hut in one sitting, how many green skittles in a bag? What offseason goals could it be for a pro athlete that were not met and reported right after fitness testing? Hmm I wonder? Must have been the ol skittles goal! You’re right!
