-DLC- Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 47 minutes ago, FireGillis said: Jake is the classic example of the player who is just happy to be in the NHL, so he can party like a rock star. So much potential wasted because he never had the work ethic or desire to improve his game. Not sure if this will be his wake up call or not. Exactly how I feel. Rather than the deep down passion and commitment to win/be the best as the driving force, just getting there and enjoying the status versus pushing beyond in a sky's the limit way. Getting to a threshold that allows the privilege and settling in there. I kind of feel Genie Bouchard is in the same trap. It seems like there's a fork in the road moment in professional athlete's worlds where they achieve a level of success and stardom and can veer off course as that becomes a distraction. Staying focused and on the path must be tough for young people and not all can resist the temptation to bask in the glory (sometimes prematurely). It appears that can really get in the way of things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he got to 36 points. It was looking like he was finally getting it. Then 2020 hit and he and Gaudette just completely collapsed. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarjakd Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Bye JV! Never liked the pick from the beginning. The partying and I'm famous thing got to his head. Wish you all the best, but just not against the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RUPERTKBD Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 All I can say about this is that it's extremely disappointing....not that they're buying him out. He pretty much burned the last bridge. What is disappointing is that we had a big forward who could crush opponents, (when he had the inclination) who was also the fastest forward on the team and had a laser beam shot. That combination of natural talent is very rare and it's a shame that he's basically thrown it away.... 4 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaramel MacKhiato Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 As much as I wanted Ehlers or Nylander at that draft, Virtanen (at the time) made the most sense. He was a Vancouver boy and drafting him would mean we would likely have a player for 10-15 years if he worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 For a lot of young guys who are immature, becoming an adult forces you to grow up, regardless of your personality. Unfortunately for athletes, they don't really have to grow up if they don't want to, and I feel Jake is in that position. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrchief Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 From a lot of the videos, it seemed like Virtanen wasn't that likeable in the locker room. We got so many character guys in the locker room now which is great going forward. We need a solid group 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
