Ya , there are places you can go now, and to keep everyone safe , there are safe practices asked of people when they go there. With his history of immaturity, you would think the kid would be smart enough to at least follow safety protocols to avoid looking like an idiot again. Like seriously , with ur history you picks nightclub, and do nothing in the way saftey measures suggested? That to me is immaturity. It's more then Virtanen going to a club. It's the overweight camps , and all the inconsistent on ice effort that adds up to why it points to a bigger problem with this pick they made. If he comes to camp out of shape then maybe it's worth discussing, until then it's a non issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are missing the point here. I don't think its about his shape that's the concern. The fact that we had an issue already with Brandi's shows the potential for problems at these clubs. If we didn't have a pandemic I don't think many would care. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Quite embarrassing that players can’t have a little fun without ridiculed by their own fan base . He went to a nightclub like every other 23 year old does. Stop making this such a big issue when really, it’s not an issue at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point here is that these "Clubs" are trying to operate under Restaurant rules even though they are still providing club like activities. Its not about him having fun. I could give a rats ass what he does if we didn't have a Pandemic. These clubs are at a higher risk for infections. Understand? You think the Canucks are happy about this? The optics are not good. He's a pro athlete making good money and yes they are held to a higher standard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I remember being young and stupid. Not the easiest thing to be locked up and everyone’s eye is on you when you step out of your house. Hope he’s ready for hockey. That’s all I care about as a fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Mountain out of a molehill imo. Sure, he could have made a smarter decision about where he went but given how well BC's currently doing he's not the only one out and about. He's also young, I'm sure as hell glad I didn't have media constantly surveying me when I was doing dumb $&!# in my early 20's. As a Canuck he's got the media spotlight on him though, trying to catch him in unflattering scenarios. At least he wasn't caught with cocaine or something like Kuznetsov.

Popular Post guntrix Posted July 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2020 Given how the NHL is working to resume and taking into account how one athlete can potentially infect and ruin it for the rest of the team, I highly doubt that NHL clubs are advising athletes to go to nightclubs, let alone with no mask and without practicing safe social distancing. Incredibly irresponsible and selfish from Jake. What's probably more shocking though is the extent to which CDC still goes to defend him. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Optics certainly aren't good. But I tend to agree its being blown out of proportion as Virtanen is allowed to do this. Do I think he still has some growing up too do? Of course. He's 23, and a star (fame-wise) in his hometown, its to be expected in all honesty. I'm sure Brock Boeser was out on his boat, on the lake, with his friends. I'm sure precise social distancing & mask wearing isn't being followed there and no one's raised that as an issue. If you wanna talk bigger picture re-Virtanen; maybe being here & having all the notoriety is holding him back from being as good as he could be? I have time for that idea, but I don't like coming down on him for being a normal 23 year old when he's within his right to do what he was doing. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Leave Brittany alone. I think people forget that hockey players are human beings too. Not just hockey robots built to entertain us. Kid is probably just having one last hurrah before entering quarantine bubble stand down. I'm more concerned with that growth on his upper lip that is a very poor display of decision making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coho8888 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Saw the video on Ctv news. Not really great for his case. Not much social distancing going on and lots of yelling and hollering. Are his friends part of his social bubble? Frankly from what I saw these places should be shut down. Not anything close to being a restaurant experience. Both Quinn and Elias are back and have already been on the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the issue is that he exposed himself to Covid while at the nightclub. He could show up to camp in shape, yet utwittingly wipe the entire team out, and possibly put an end to the playoffs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as far from a restaurant as you can get. And it’s BS that you think the fans are especially hard on him. 4 minutes ago, Pears said: Because they are allowed to.

the grinder Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Would this be such a big deal if he was at restaurant downtown instead ? since you can't really eat or drink with a mask on lol. is that really safer than being at a nightclub , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I saw him a couple years ago while I was at Republic night club during the NHL All-Star break. I was going to the bar to get a drink and there he was. He was just leaving with a girl, we had a quick chat, shook hands then he left. It was a flabbergasting experience though IDK if I should be surprised, I have heard stories about some NHLers at the Roxxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
