Didn't catch the game today but it seemed like Green at least tried to put Virtanen out in the last few minutes to try and get him the hatty?
I don't think it should really be too surprising at this point that if you play JV more, he produces. We saw this last year when he got consistent top-9 minutes with some PP time and he went on to put up a career-high 36 points. Seems like the kind of guy who responds better to positive reinforcement rather than negative, and it's sad that Green seemingly still hasn't figured this out despite having coached him for years now.
Virtanen - can hear the chant TRADE HIM NOW and, for one, I would not be against this. Showed very well tonight. Not only the goals but some great set ups. Seemed to be seeing the play better and less confused about where he should be and what he should do. Question becomes how can you this game out of Jake with any consistency. And that's a mystery right up there with understanding "dark matter'.
