Couldn't Benning have gotten at least a used puck bag in a trade? In an Era when Ladd, two 2nds and a 3rd are traded for absolutely nothing in return, the Canuck couldn’t sell a bow tied Virtanen to anyone. Like putting perfume on a pig.

It's not Beagle's fault JB paid a tad more than he probably should have got, he was a warrior for us out there. Same goes for Rouss, it wasn't his fault he had a serious knee injury. Nobody was complaining about him prior to that. Jake didn't go as planned, and the Eriksson scenario was a train wreck. But I don't think it's fair to lump Beagle and Rouss in. I've never heard anything negative said about them as teammates. Edited July 26, 2021 by Coconuts 2 1 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game has been vomit worthy for sometime now. Also, somewhat confident the Nucks, who independently investigated the allegation, wouldn’t have bailed on him if there was no there there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easier to do it this way and avoid all the media distractions that come with a case like this I wouldn’t want to answer some of those idiots questions.

bad alice french Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Wow, the personal and malicious shots being taken at this guy online are straight up ruthless. For anyone who has crossed the line can we please stick to hockey around here? I'd like to see a single one of you big mouths say anything close to what you're cowardly typing to Jake's face.

N4ZZY Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Jake’s situation really saddens me. Local boy who could’ve been a legend in this city and market. Had all the tools but didn’t have any work ethic or hockey intelligence to put everything together. He’s got time to still do it. Just won’t be unfortunately here in his hometown. Would’ve loved to get Kent Johnson in this years draft as he could’ve been something Virtanen never came to be. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to get bought out regardless. He is already a PR disaster, regardless if he did it or not. Also, if that's how quick you determined guilt, welp, no point in a civil suit or criminal case. Just throw him in jail. /sar Edited July 26, 2021 by Dazzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have to go play overseas for a bit first, and should his head and heart catch up to his talent, he’ll be welcomed back, especially if the allegations can not be proven. It’s guys like DeAngelo who really make it difficult to find a roster spot for because the propensity to repeat previous offences is just too high.

I don’t see an out of court settlement changing the “no fly zone” attached to this player. Virtannen totally had no realization the privilege he had to play in the NHL, it was disrespectful of him not to realize that. Not just the hockey gods, but the greats, who contributed to the game and the less fortunate are shaking their heads. There are better players than Jake that deserve the opportunity he had.

In the case of the MTL player drafted, It that is only because the victim came forward to support the player.. not his actions.. that is rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
