His problems came down to lack of work ethic. His twitchy interview during the bubble after his two goal game screams withdrawals.

Nucker 67 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The only thing that concerns me, is if Jake does something stupid and headhunts one of our players when the Canucks play the Oilers. Like that McDavid hit a few years ago, but maybe on Petey. A sort of getting back at VAN for giving up on him, or something like that. Jake doesn't appear to be the brightest or a guy who makes good decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what he can do playing with McDavid and Kane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will turn into a complete forward. Unfortunately I can see this easily happening. He has nothing to lose now and will be playing with the league's two best players. If he can get 36 points playing 3rd line minutes with Vancouver he could hit 50-60 points playing with McD and Drai... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cheered for him to grow up for years with hopes he'd put it all together. Now I just want to be able to cheer for a huge hit on him from Schenn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schenn or Joshua is the best option if attempting to keep the chaos giraffe alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have enough other warm bodies to fill out the top 6. The two gods, RNH, Hyman, PoolParty, E Kane, Holloway (maybe). Don’t see a spot for Tuna there. Maybe they’ll expect him to replace Kassian’s grit. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's going to a team without a single respectable player and a locker room cancer wearing the C? Who's going to teach him how to act like a professional?

PistolPete13 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Third and fourth line on the Soil barely see the ice. Tuna will probably get 6-10 minutes a game. Should he make the team, I doubt thaI he tops twenty points. If the injury bug hits hard, he could slot in the the top six, and then he might do somewhat better.

If Poolparty can hit 36pts with that club JV could likely do so as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I remember a few years back I said it'd be interesting to see Virtanen with McJesus. Obviously that scenario is very much unlikely given his career nose diving. But, you're telling me there's a chance. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he’ll have any hard feelings against the Canucks. Apparently he only has "hard feelings" when he's wasted and hanging out at bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake doesn't appear to be the brightest or a guy who makes good decisions. I still don't understand how people have this image of Jake. He never did any sort of that when he was playing for us. If you are talking about that McDavid hit at young prospects camp, it was quite clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's you can't win without scumbags. Are you saying the end justifies the means? Because I wouldn't want what happened in Chicago to happen here, even if it did mean winning a couple of cups. At least one player's life was destroyed by a scumbag coach. I am not saying 'The end justifies the means" What I am saying is that a "Class Organization" does not sweep things under the rug and a "Character Organization" steps up and steps in when their players need it. NJ went to the wall with Ken Danyko and he later won cups with them, he was /is an alcoholic Brian Burke was not all class all the time, but I admired the way he stood with Bertuzzi I never felt the Canucks did enough for Rick Rypien or Zack Kassian As mentioned, the "Back injury" was a phoney cover up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know that gold digger tried to hit the jackpot. I'd sue her if I was Jake for defamation. Hope to see him back in the NHL and gets his life back on track. Enough people have come across him in one way or another especially around here. I’ve come across a handful just on here that have had less than pleasant encounters with Jake. Sometimes even athletes are douchebags. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
