Arrived lol 9 points in 12 games, 4th line scrubs do that, this must be a joke.
dude stopped eating donuts and chugging beers...he slimmed down you can actually see a jaw line on him.
this is still premature though.
And comes the end of Manson and Ritchie for Torontos soft useless trash threadsArrived lol 9 points in 12 games, 4th line scrubs do that, this must be a joke.
why do you have to bring the leafs into this thread, they must be in your head, its about a guy that has all of 9 points in his last 12 games, most nhlers can accomplish this at some point in their career. do you honestly think this is a special feat, its a jokeAnd comes the end of Manson and Ritchie for Torontos soft useless trash threads

I always hear this but I'm not sure it true, they also appear to decline quicker. Most high-end power-forwards were elite or performing at a high-level early on. See Lindros, Iginla, Ovechkin, and Forsberg. Out of the current top Power-forwards look at guys like Joe Thornton, Getzlaf, and Benn who were solid players at 20, and very good ones at 21. Perry took a bit of time to emerge as high-end. Landeskog was very good when he entered the league. I'm not sure there is as much variance as people think. Look currently at the Tkachuk brothers for example. Now, I can see it with middle of the pack power forwards like Clarkson, Clowe, etc. It also probably depends on how you Power forwards, because in some people's eyes someone like JVR is, and in others the guy needs to play with significant physicality.Power forwards take longer ... where did I hear that before . Would explain Jake Virtanen 's better play as well . I like the big guys they bring a lot to the table you can't teach . Happy for him .
Ability wise he was always fine... sometimes it seemed like confidence or findin a way to put it togetherMan, this all got pedantic quickly.
Good for Ritchie though, I never thought it was a 'man strength'/conditioning issue, I thought he'd bust on ability frankly, rather than growing into man strength to play the power game in a man's league like Virtanen. Though I guess if he's a little quicker and stronger than getting to power forward spots is coming easier? Haven't been watching to know, will pay more attention now.
I will say that watching Virtanen the other night was like watching prime Shane Doan, he just turned into the bulldozer he was in juniors overnight it feels like, so no reason Ritchie couldn't also.
