He pivots like a WWI battleship.

It's not even that, some of his pivots are poor but not all of them. My issue is that he holds the puck a lot but hasn't been challenged at all so far this pre-season. Under a heavy forecheck I think he's going to give up the puck a lot because the rumours about him not being physical look like they're holding true here as well. At least to my eye.

Like his zone exits in preseason have been good but that was supposed to be a weakness of his. Then it crosses my mind that he's experienced absolutely no pressure so far. We'll see what happens in these later preseason games.

This is why the Canucks shouldn't play their top players too much in the pre-season, injuries will happen from other players trying to make a point.

He panics under pressure and makes bad decisions. That’s what happened on the goal.

Virtanen is terrible in this game, he should have dropped it back to the point on zone entry.

Personally liked Miller saying “ow” when Boeser came in for the congrats. Next time he’ll put his stick down..
