Do you watch the games? There is much more to it than point totals. How can you say that Virtanen didn't improve considerably last year? I'd say that he had a notable positive impact on almost every game he played in. On many nights last year I would say that he was the best Canuck player on the ice. Obviously that's just my opinion, and you have yours, but I'd really like to know how you could suggest that he got worse?
Yes I do watch the games, I am a half season ticker holder. Section 102.
All this talk about Virtanen about being the wrong pick, if is mainly about offence so I am going to focus on offence. I am sorry but to judge offence we will need to look at some numbers. Facts don't lie his 5 on 5 points was about the same as last year. Virtanen played 3 minutes more and played better linemate this year. His production is about the same. It more than fair to say he didn't improve offensively and/or got worst.
I will say his overall decision making improve. He doesn't give away the puck as often anymore. Anything else I don't see improvement at all.
I really think Virtanen sexy skating is tricking some people on thinking he is better than he really is.
Give me some examples what game Virtanen was the best player? Be more specific what did he do that made him the best player?
It's not all about points, tell me 5 different situation Canucks got a goal because of Virtanen but he didn't get point out of it? Tell me the game as well
Tell me 5 plays he made that saved a goal? Tell me the game as well.
I have game center live, I can go back and watch past games.
This just my opinion, if je wasn't a local boy. We wouldn't be having this conversation
