rekker Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 1 minute ago, Alflives said: I’m watching Jake play his first game was in Russia right now. He’s HUGE! He can barely move. KHL contracts aren’t guaranteed, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if Jake (and his round body) is sent packing. He’s got to be near 300 pounds. I saw him at a skate here in Kelowna about three weeks ago. He looked out of shape. He's fighting for his pro career, and he's out of shape. Good grief, tells you all you need to know right there. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is the classic example of ‘never draft stupid’. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think those guys have confidence that Benning is the right guy to bring this team forward? A part of me feels that maybe they don't think he's the guy leading this franchise moving forward.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti-Benning drivel. It becomes more and more clear that people have this hate for someone and will only find 'evidence' to prove that hate.

Guessing one of the biggest cities in the world isn't exactly what the doctor ordered. Maybe his fellow partier Ben Hutton can join him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just asking if the players have confidence in him, especially with Petey and Hughes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton played for the Leafs last season but is unsigned as of this writing. Hutton is another guy that could have and should have been a very strong 3rd pairing guy that could temporarily fill in on a 2nd pairing. Enjoy the Roxy Hutton. You have all the time in the world now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like just fitting in with the other washed up NHLers and never weres like Shirokov, Khoklachev, and Lehtera. Oh and looks like he’s playing with Petey’s brother. Next stop the Spengler Cup with the other recent Canucks castoffs! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have all the time in the world now. I’d take Hutton back at a fair price. I like the positive attitude at all cost. “At all cost” wins Cups. The greats have the “at all cost” attitude. Horvat has that. Miller too. Hughes may have it. Pettersson has it. When you have enough of those on the team, the team wins Cups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show the caliber of hockey and the conditioning expectations over there. Gotta say though, I love and watch the Spengler every year. Jakes peed me off, but would like to see the dufas playing there. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive can be a good attribute, but you need mean determination to win a cup, and I don't see that in him. He's a little too much of a jokester to be a winner, similar to Nate Schmidt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
