apollo18 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 ive watched Roussel closely and he seems like he honestly has more speed and hustle then virtanen. when he gets his legs moving hes honestly flying. for example that breakway goal in the minny series i believe. also so far some looks in the stl games. virtanen might be faster but i havent seen his speed at all this playoffs. he looks so lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverHabitant Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It's just an optical illusion because of the way he skates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 They may want to put him on the first line - as silly as it sounds - last year i believe he was on the top line and scored a bunch before he got injuried a few games in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 He's faster than an out of shape Virtanen. And it was Ray Ferraro that said he believes JV is out of shape before everyone shoots the messenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Remember how fast Sutter skated to get his breakaway in MIN too? ALL these guys are fast. Anyone who’s skated with even fringe NHLers ... these guys are all incredible skaters. QHs isn’t as fast as EP or JV and probably others on the team as far as top speed goes but he’s quick enough. I doubt any of these guys couldn’t do a lap in under 15 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we’ve already seen his speed once his first game back - what a tool (Ferraro). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 NO chance. Even Tequila is faster than Rooster...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 EP and QH look like they are really fast skaters, but I think it's more to do with how quickly they think the game and then immediately respond with the perfect play. Someone missing from this conversation is Horvat. His skating has become quite exceptional. The Fastest straight line skating goes to Virtanen.

Podzilla Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Surprised no ones said Motte yet. Virtanen, Horvat and Motte are our fastest skaters. Quinn isn't quite as fast, but has the best skating ability and agility by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's your source of info on the Canucks your opinion isn't gonna be worth much. No offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many times I have watched him charge in on the forecheck and surprise guys. Not to mention when he skates the puck down, like he's gonna flip it in, then just charges in, slipping past a big check in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might end up in some other uniform because JB might not want to throw away a project 75% done BUT we also need guys in the roster who will be determined and consistant, and every cap penny counts so he needs to wake up in a big way or gone and he's not helping his trading stock either, it's one thing to be good seasonal but a no show in the playoffs is a stygma and who wants that?

Quinn was a bit faster at UM than he is now; I’d have picked him over anyone on this team if he was still that fast. He’s pretty clearly added some strength to become a better overall player, which has hurt his speed just a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
