Sad to say, but the team may have won this game had Virtanen NOT played.
Hopefully he gets a plane right back to Calgary- uncle benning will probably try to find some sort of spin for this
Back to junior. That was a rough tournament.
We drafted a 4th liner with the 6th overall pick. His hockey iq will not allow him to be a top 6 player or a defensive checking line player. I don't see how that's something he can improve on? Either you have it or you don't and he's on a whole another level of bad.
Back to the Dub for Jake "The Rifleman" Virtanen... and if I was running things he'd be spending the year in the ECHL next season where he can learn some discipline and how not to be such a selfish player. Just because your 6th overall pick, doesn't mean you are been gifted a roster spot in the NHL. But Benning disagrees and he's playing 1st line with the Sedins because he's real "gud".
Well... he certainly still has things to work on...
