Jake is like Raymond in that he has so much speed but he doesn’t know how to use it effectively.

 

Instead of the burst into the zone and fall down behind the net, Virtanens go to move it skate a lap and pass it back to the point.

 

Would love to see him finally figure out how to use his speed to drive the net.

But just on a quick note here

 

Tuch in Vegas, has a play just for him

 

Imagine the coach actually making a play for you

Holtby!  Can't say enough about how good a game that was and what it mean to him and setting the friendly bar for Demko.

 

Schmidt got that goal to get off the Schnied.

 

Boeser good.

Horvat good.

 

Hughes was absolutely  Hughes.

 

The team came up big and that was a great win for the fan base.

Random thought: for all the “Boeser for Dumba” hubbub that’s exactly why you go out and spend a few bucks on Myers.  Hard to find top-4 RHD who can add a few points.  
 

Myers’ contract might be a little steep.. but he didn’t cost any assets.  Tough to even draft a top 4 RHD without taking a pretty big gamble with your 1st and even then it takes time.

We drafted a "potential" Top4 D-man in Juolevi and look how long he's taken to get where he is - and he's still not "top 4" just yet either.

 

Every one of Jim's FA signings (except Loui, but we'll gloss that) has probably been around ~20% high "in money". Which is probably about the 'premium' for no-assets unrestricted.

And your prediction held up!   Good job!

Speaking of Podz, has there been any update on him after he had to be helped off the ice yesterday, haven't found any yet. Put link to vid of his recent incident.

Oli Jolevie is playing amazing, having a solid Defensemen in his rookie year is worth so much and we have two in a row. Hughes may be younger and still ripping it up point wise! but damn Oli had a few shifts where he made a good read or a block and kept calm the whole time so stoked!! He had a tough road to get here and is showing everyone he’s focused and supposed to be here. Good for him. 

A couple of months back, Burkie said he still wouldn't be surprised if Juolevi ended up as an all-star.  Have to admit I thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but it's great to be wrong about some things.

Don't forget in Horgan's BC we pay a premium of 7 to 11 percent more tax than all but 6 of the other teams in the league. Thanks to the 4 percent premium he put on the tax rate our players pay a year ago. No question that means we have to overpay free agents.
