It's a news story at this point and the Canuck issued a release. We'll monitor the thread of course, but it's a completely valid discussion. 3 5 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Don't most NHL contracts have clauses that void them, if you break the team's code of conduct? If Jake is guilty, would his contract just be terminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC is run by a private company, whose employee is currently involved in an allegation. Letting people speculate on the employers website about one of their employees could end up badly. Im not a lawyer, but I hope they've run the descision to allow chat on this matter past one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canckelhead Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Not saying it's true, but if it turns out it is, Why are guys so stupid! They just can't keep it in the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wallstreetamigo Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 These allegations, if true, have absolutely nothing to do with Jake Virtanen the hockey player. They have to do with Jake Virtanen the human being. If this was Horvat or Hughes or EP or anyone else that isnt already hated by Canucks fans, the response and call for patience and allowing an investigation to determine the truth would be a lot different on here and on social media. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a he said/she said, and unless there's a smoking gun somewhere, nothing can be proven. That isn't to say that he's innocent, but it's hard to imagine anyone finding any evidence of guilt. Regardless of all of that, his playing days in the NHL are done. This is my thought process as well. Its unfortunate, but its the reality. And it's a major part in why so few want to come forward. As long as the other party says they are innocent there is no way to prove otherwise. I'm not labeling Jake innocent or guilty though. But the whole thing leaves a bad taste.

Sapper Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Jake has played his last game in a cancuks jersey no matter how this ends. This is now about if Jake has any trade value or can be kept as expansion draft fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would likely end up being litigated, however. Edited May 1, 2021 by MattJVD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4petesake Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Neither the complainant nor Jake will find any justice on a hockey forum. If you want to propagate rumours and tweets you can fill your boots here. If you want to add talking points to back up your dislike of Jake or your opinion on JB’s assessments of character, go ahead and gorge yourself here. Maybe you can find a way to shape this to blame Green. Just don’t pretend this thread has anything to do with justice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 What a season this has become for our beloved home team. Stuff of nightmares. Let’s allow the process to play out, investigations to happen, and cut our ties to this player if it becomes clear that this is the course to take. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 If this turns out to be true and I will wait to see. If it is true then I hope he gets what he deserves. I have zero patience for people who prey on others. Jake will not be back next year no mater how this plays out. Have they called up a replacement. Can we maybe get a look at Gad. They say his skating has improved. it would be nice to see how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Let this play out and find out the truth which is more important than sweeping under the rug. Virtanen has the right to a fair due process that is afforded to him in Canada. We don't need to go out with pitchforks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
