Dude get off gluten, carbs and sugar. (sugars are carbs but what the feck).

Trust me, you'll think less like VANTEL.

Well considering those stats were of the team's even strength ice time......no.

I think you miss understood how those stats work

I think you missed the point that he didn't read it either

Regs here are like suppositories, you have to shove them up yer ass and they aren't much good for you. You haven't had an original thought since I've been frequenting this place.

Bingo

So 91% of the time was the blender of plugs
- Nuck4U

Actually its a percentage of the team's lines over all the even strength ice time played.

Sedins and Louie account for 20.78%
Sutter-Hansen-Granlund account for 18.96%
Burrows-Gaunce-Doreset account for 6.93% mostly because of consistency

I don't really care if they play him 12-15 minutes a night here. It's the press box that's worrisome.

I'd much rather him go down for 10-20 games and re-evaluate than have him wear a suit on game nights.
- golfingsince

Totally agree

Seems like he is getting a fair shake linemate wise but is he getting the shaft when the bench is shortened ? Pp time ?
- Redmile247

He doesn't do special teams. I'd like him to learn that in the AHL, get in all scenarios

Lol, awesome!

This Vantel/PuckShack feud is more entertaining then most of our games this year.

But gluten holds your kneecaps together!

He's not feckin' retarded. He skates well and is a big body, he did it in Junior and can adapt to the NHL. You don't need to go to the AHL to learn how to play the PK...FFS.

Agreed, the interview indicated not entitlement but frustration. Jake is a kid that needs to SKATE to be effective. Fast twitch muscles sittin on a bench=poop performance.
- PuckShack

Yup.... plus Golfing he's not in the press box now he's on a short leash blender spinning his wheels with players he can't develop chemistry with and not knowing how to perform.... it's frustrating to watch

Not a feud, just taking an arrogant twat down a peg. New posters aren't stupid. History of the board is irrelevant and an arrogant twat who doesn't read others posts (because they are new or because the post is long) should not be held in esteem.

VANTEL is a valued member but being an areshole is not cool.

He gets lost pretty easily out there. His hockey IQ is lowwwwwww, been a knock on him since draft day. If it was so easy, he probably be on it right now. His ice time totals are low because despite being one of the faster and bigger bodies on the team, he can't do it. Hell even Etem did some PK work last year

It doesn't help when his linemates are on either the pp or pk ...he is the odd man out then missing turns

I didn't realize we had to read every post, I'm not reading any of that Flames crap.

More contact anyway.

I am not arguing at all. In fact I am waiting for his next take on JV . Excited with anticipation.


I hope this time it gets more in depth .

Yes everyone here is hanging on to your insight.

Shunk ass , twat , and areshole. You do have a way around the lower regions but keep it going . Good job.

I dunno if that has anything to do with it, he just isn't on either of those teams. Willie throws out usually a mix of the 3rd line after PP's and that would usually be Virtanen. Just comparing his total ice times to Granlund, Bo or whomever else is tainted because he doesn't do special teams, so he sits a lot in penalty filled games

EDIT: which I realize is kinda what you were saying, he misses shifts whenever penalties are called

As I posted (in apparently a too long post for ADHD fans), Jake is a North/Player. At this point. That does not lend itself to PK. At this point he shouldn't be a PK player.

Listen to what Willess D wants from Bo. To be a defensive specialist? Have you seen this team? He's the best offensive center on the team, that includes Henrik!

Virtanen needs to be cultivated for what he is, not what you want him to be.
