Chicken. Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Great assist tonight, nice hockey smarts play even if it was just a little saucer The hustle to get there near the end of the game was tremendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuk76 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Can't wait for contract negotiations. The price is going up. Always thought jake just needed time and to play on a decent line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Face Doom Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 You can easily see his confidence when he has the puck right now. Making better decisions and making plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparables being willy nylander and ehlers. #Virbusten That’s what known as “moving the goalposts”. 5 years is your litmus test for consistency? If that’s the case how can you possibly have already formed an opinion on Nylander and Ehlers? They haven’t been at it long enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you’re not a Canuck’s fan if you prefer small, soft, perimeter players who disappear when tough games happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Gotta say, it's really nice to be able to take some of the ammunition away from the trolls. If Virtanen can keep up this level of play full time he will have at least partially justified his draft position. Not counting 2019 (still too early), that'll be 4 first round hits in 5 years for GMJB. Virtanen, Boeser, Petey, Hughes. On a side note, Juolevi's play has really picked up in Utica as well. 11 points in his last 11 games for 19 points in 33 games on the season, and that 'atrocious' +/- of his has completely evaporated, as he's now sitting at an even rating. If he were to pan out as a top 4 Dman as well, the trolls would literally have no ammo left at all. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Glad you stopped harping on Marky and moved to a new target (think you would've learned by now): Quote Markstrom is actually so bad it’s hilarious Quit trolling...were you never taught the "if you have nothing nice to say" deal? Sure, criticism is fine...but keep it real. I'm sure you can find something positive to say right now about Jake. (How about those Maple Leafs though...good thing they have Nylander to save the day).

McBackup Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) EDIT: While I never wrote off Jake, I will admit I did start to worry he wasn't going to "get it" once he came to camp out of shape. That's never ever a good sign. That said I'm glad my fears were put to rest. Edited January 19, 2020 by Bitter Melon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Players like Jake with speed and size take longer to develop and can move up and down the lineup. Super valuable assets. Glad the club was patient with Jake. I have been a fan of his natural abilities and his development from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
