What’s your thoughts?

Very personal opinion incoming:

I am unhappy and upset, but mostly disappointment in the management. They usually value character and work ethic. Signing a guy who was fired for getting into a fight with his teammates seems very questionable, not to mention the whole court case issue...

Either this is the biggest mistake in all the DEL years or it's enough cold wind and shitty weather up here that he gets his shit together, plays some decent hockey and keeps his head down. (It also makes me miss our former captain whom I would've trusted to be a good enough leader to keep the team together and put someone in their place.)

I hope the current core of the team is solid enough to withstand the incoming storm. I'll keep an eye on the situation. Most fans seem to be divided into "we don't need someone like him" and "if he's good he deserves a second chance".

Reminds me of Jack Eichel

I will do anything to whichever player on the IceTigers beats the shit out of Jake Virtanen. Please! I know no bounds!!!

Flames are once again poaching Canucks' players

[niallhoranhasthat1thing]

I’m just gonna say this: let’s pretend that Stan Bowman has seen the light, he’s spent the past few years donating all his money to victims of SA and he has traveled the world sharing his experience to ensure that this never ever happens again in the sports world. It wouldn’t matter. His and the entire Chicago Blackhawks organization actions not only led to multiple of their own players being assaulted and then bullied by their own teammates, but their actions led to a MINOR being assaulted!!!!!! That minor now deals with not only the trauma but with alcoholism.

The oilers are a disgusting organization, they are right up there with the Blackhawks.

They brought Duncan Keith in amid the scandal despite not even being a good player anymore

Brought Jake Virtanen in

Evander Kane

Duncan Keith was hired in a player development role. So after he ridiculed Kyle Beach he now has a role in shaping the young players of the oilers

And now Stan Bowman

It’s fucking disgusting and the players if they had any balls whatsoever would voice that they do not want this. I’m a leafs fan, I grew up hating the bruins but you know what the bruins players did when the organization brought in Mitchell Miller? They voiced that that scum is not welcome in their locker room, each and EVERY star player on the bruins voiced it until that fucker was out of the organization!!!! Mark my words McDavid will not do that here because he has shown that he doesn’t give a fuck if there’s horrible people on his team.

Just fucking disgusting

The mom of the minor gave an interview to Rick Westhead. Listen to it and try to convince me that any of these people deserve a second chance

if you could re-draft the 2014 draft, how would it look like?

The top three are pretty much non-disputable:

1st - Leon Draisaitl (originally 3rd)

2nd - David Pastrnak (originally 25th)

3rd - William Nylander (originally 8th)

Dylan Larkin would have definitely been higher than the original 15th, Brayden Point as well (the guy was drafted 79th), Sam Reinhart would drop out of his original 2nd and so would Aaron Ekblad from his 1st. Jakub Vrana would have also been much lower than 13th - he is talented, with a great shot, but too many hold-backs surrounding and encountering him.

It's literally crazy how many complete busts that draft had in its first round - Michael Dal Colle (5th), Jake Virtanen (6th), Haydn Fleury (7th), Nick Ritchie (10th), Brendan Perlini (12th), Julius Honka (14th)... It's insane to realize that all these guys were drafted WAY before Pasta and it shows you that a high draft position doesn't automatically secure you success in the league.

Just heard about the fact that Conor Garland follows Trump, Tucker Carlson, and the Daily Wire on Insta. On the same day that I saw Mysey liked Jake Virtanen's most recent post. Wtf. Trusting white men is truly impossible.

Take this with a grain of salt, maybe, because I loved (and still love) playing the heel in hockey and in softball.

But the wildest part to me about Korbin Albert making the Olympic roster is Hayes saying that the booing and criticism got to her, it impacted her performance, and they're still rolling with her.

The best ability in sports is availability. Number two and three are a short memory and a thick skin. You're going to get booed. Your opponents are going to boo you when you do well. Your own fans are going to boo you when you do poorly.

And I'm saying this as my own harshest critic. I'm the girl in the locker room throwing my gear on the floor and cursing myself out after a bad showing. My coaches knew better than to tell me good try so I wouldn't snap at them that, if it were actually a good try, we would have won. I cannot imagine letting the crowds get to me on top of that.

It's one thing, as we've observed time and again, to sell your soul and take on a player with a nasty personality who at least has a proven track record in the game. As far as I'm concerned, Patrick Kane and Jake Virtanen can both go to hell. But between the two of them, GMs are more willing to take the heat on the point-per-game guy than the guy with more PIM than points in Russia.

Professional-league teams have to balance winning games with keeping fan vibes high. It was the right choice for the White Sox (a phrase you will never hear me say again until Jerry sells the team) to cut Liam Hendriks, knowing he wouldn't pitch for them again, but getting rid of the guy who just came back from cancer? Terrible vibes. National teams don't have the same vibes requirements because those governing bodies are nonprofits that don't rely on private funding (and even if they did, they're making way more on youth participation than on jersey and ticket sales). But I still don't get taking the vibes to make the team worse.

I think he’s aimed for girls beyond his social status for sure. But not physical appearance. Hear me out imo the most gorgeous girls still get with good looking guys who aren’t model level gorgeous all the time. Look at any supermodel and who they choose to date. Very few men are equally gorgeous as their gf/wife and this is true among regular men as well. And Nols is objectively a way above average good looking man but he’s no model so I don’t think looks was a problem. Talking about social status - the insta girls/models he DM’d would only seriously consider a DM if it came from a very big public figure or athlete. Unfortunately guys who have money and status are the only guys these girls would look at. And models don’t really go for hockey players for some reason like the best a player can do is Dixie damelio apparently so it is what it is.

Just my opinion he's definitely tried with girls that were physically more attractive then him, he's not an ugly dude for sure but theirs no doubt some girls he’s went for (influencer or not) have just been better looking. It’s just a fact.

I do understand that he doesn't have the same kind of "clout" he had before because he's not active in the league. Even though he isn't an A list celeb or a super known athlete he is still able to get the attention of micro influencers and smaller accounts. Reality is too, half these girls probably don't care if he even plays or not, as long as he comes off or is known to have $$ that can be enough for most lmao.

At one point Paige Lorenze was liking photos of him, vice versa. The interaction probably wasn't that deep, who knows if DM's were even exchanged. Though that's a good prime example of someone who's physically considered more attractive and has a bigger social stat then him, that has given him attention.

BIG side note: This topic of discussion just reminded me of when Jake Virtanen and Chloe Grace Moretz dated for a short brief time LMFAOOOOO.

Are you a Jake Virtanen fan?

No. I wrote a blurb a long time ago from a request but I haven’t written for him since (and wouldn’t in the future)

Didn’t Chloe grace moretz and jake virtanen go to Disneyland once. Remember seeing a pic back in the day. Such a random couple

she’s gotta make sure she picks the right one

[nhlgossips]

Jake Virtanen was signed to a PTO (and eventually cut) after his acquittal, Varlamov’s still in the league after his DV acquittal, so I don’t doubt the 4 guys could play if the league wanted them to, it’s just a question of how badly they embarrassed hockey Canada, they might end up getting made an example of

[babygirlboeser]

right. when the sexual assault allegations against jake virtanen became public they placed him on leave and bought him out. it seemed like they take this kinda thing seriously, so it’s really disappointing that they would want someone like desm*th on their team.

what the actual fuck did i just witness??? i know i did NOT just see a headline that said canucks are considering re-signing desm*th????

[nuge]

nice to know that v*rtanen’s defence is as disgusting as he is.

[hockeygossip101]

People really do need to learn that people who are in fact guilty can be found not guilty in court. It happens all the time, especially in SA cases and ESPECIALLY when the man has more money and power than the woman.

The way the legal system works is that the burden is on the prosecution to prove the defendant’s guilt. If they don’t do that, then the defendant is found Not Guilty. They’re not found Innocent lol. Many juries have said they believe the defendant to be guilty but thought the prosecution didn’t have the case to prove it.

Is he truly not guilty? I have no idea. The defense’s strategy was to make her look unreliable, though how Virtanen could be reliable when he testified he was blackout I have no idea! But that’s hockey money and status baby! Look at everyone clamoring to excuse the 8 CHL players! And to be honest hockey culture doesn’t give me a ton of hope, so I’m okay sticking with the victim’s story because:

NOT GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN INNOCENT!

This ^

I know someone who was sa by a teacher with literal video proof from a surveillance camera and somehow he was found not guilty in court and was allowed to teach again. So not guilty in court definitely doesn't mean not guilty.
