Gaudette in.  JV is invisible even when he is in

Virtanen better defensively, can stay on his feet and gets shots on PP2. Gaudette ... I don't know what he does.

 I wonder how many suspensions Scott Stevens would accumulate in todays NHL.

He would be permanently suspended.

He'd get the Torres treatment

He’s been skating since Thursday. I wonder if he gets a look before Jake goes back in.

I think Eriksson might get a shot before Virtanen...

[King Heffy]

Pretty sure people complained about trading Vanke's lazy ass because Motte wasn't a draft pick.

New York gave up on Bertuzzi at age 22.  Yes by 24 he became a stud.  Virtanen is already 24, turning 25 in the summer.  Bertuzzi didn’t need to have too much of a defensive game as he played with 2 defensively responsible players.  His job was to play as a true power forward and use his size and physicality to change the pace of the game.  He did his job very well.  Virtanen has similar tools to Bertuzzi but for whatever reason has not used them to his advantage up to this point.  

 

I would say at age 25 it doesn’t look good for Virtanen being anything more than a 3rd line winger...

"Stud" is a stretch imo - at 24 he was +7 goals and +7 assists over Virtanen's last season - and still a completely vacant player without the puck.

 

Keeping in mind that 25/25 in the waning days of pond hockey isn't as impressive as it may seem (relative to 18/18 playing 13:05 a night on the Canucks 3rd line).

Naslund, Cassels, Mogiliny, Captain dipcrap - there were a few decent linemates to help Bert produce....

Tap buddy on the glove with your stick, 2mins.
Cross check him in the numbers 2 feet from the boards, nothing.

We need an officiating watchdog and hold these goofballs accountable

Tyler Myers skating circles out there like Scott Moir

[MikeyD]

Off the shaft I think.

Jake shoots and that’s about it. He doesn’t engage in the play, he floats and watches board battles and never finishes a check.

EP, good chance
