Slegr Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 The translation in that article cracked me up.. "Jake Virtanen had a verbal and muscular altercation with a teammate" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJockitch Posted February 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2023 Sometimes when things go wrong with a young player you look at how he was treated by the club. ‘The Canucks tried and tried to surround him with consummate pros to show him the way. They tried to coach and train and teach. The death of Jake Virtanen’s career is Jake Virtanen’s fault. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess drafted two guys with attitude problems... hope we do a better job in the interviews to filter out the boys with attitude issues in the next draft. eh? One guy grew up (has 35 points in 47 games so far this season). The other is 26 and is still acting like he's 18 (age when he was drafted).

Popular Post -DLC- Posted February 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2023 (they should make those damn doors bigger!) Seriously....reading this it seems Jake's not getting it.

Odd. Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 According to my sources (the very best, super reliable) Boston Bruins sign Jake Virtanen to a 1 year $1M contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpopular opinion: people shit on McCann too much for what he said and how he acted when he was a teenager, as if most people aren't immature or prone to saying things that probably shouldn't be said as teenagers, lot of posters around here are probably fortunate social media wasn't around when they were young and that they didn't have a spotlight shining on them People put way too much stock in teenage hockey players not acting like mature adults, even if they've had media training or been coached in this or that they're still teenagers McCann moved on with his life and has proven himself to be worth having Jake got every opportunity in the book, including the slack that came with being a highly picked local guy, but despite all his natural gifts couldn't pull it all together Seems like he bought his own hype, maybe if he'd gone to a different market he'd have grown up more and made better decisions It's sad really, I was rooting for him Edited February 8, 2023 by Coconuts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but he stuck with it and did his time If you look at his numbers he actually showed progress, look at his ppg or point per 82 from his third season on, there are reasons he continued to get opportunities https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=160292 Edited February 8, 2023 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 You wonder how far this guy has to fall to finally get it? The Canucks pay him to go away, he faces rape charges, the Oilers tell him to get lost, his KHL team takes a pass on him, he winds up in the Swiss 2nd league and acts like he's Gretzky. And I doubt this is anywhere near rock bottom for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Jake couldn’t and still doesn’t get it. Aye, and credit for him for building on his success, I just find it puzzling when folks hold on to how he acted as a teenager when he really didn't do anything bad, he was just young We get carried away as fans sometimes and forget how stupid many of us were when we were young, being young men doesn't excuse everything but of course they're not going to act like grown and mature men 25+ Jake just wasn't able to figure it out out, or grow up enough, the consequences of his actions are his own Being drafted by his hometown didn't seem to help McCann gradually grew up like most teenagers do 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
