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

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

Virtanen got cut from his pto

Get fucked you ass

[divingsave]

so, in today's hockey news, a german hockey club from the top league is signing jake virtanen (after the swiss club where he was signed last wanted to get rid of him for an altercation with a teammate). 'highlights' include:

a quote from jake about the trade, roughly: 'i'm more than happy to be given a chance by the pinguins, to show that i am a good player and a decent guy.'

after they seemingly deleted comments about the allegations and the trial that were left under the instagram post announcing the news, they added a paragraph to the announcement. roughly it translates to: 'team manager prey doesn't want to fuel questions about an alleged fauxpas in the past. 'we've spoken to jacob about our visions and wishes and we're sure that jake is following the same goal. we will always see the future that you can still change. the past is the past.'

all in all: big yikes. shame on them.

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.

I’m disappointed but not surprised that a certain garbage person was signed to a PTO. The desperation of this team REEKS. Abusers do not deserve redemption arcs and privileges like this, just because a team is struggling. My heart goes out to the victim, who has to watch her abuser be rewarded. This is a disgusting and atrocious decision by Ken Holland. Hockey culture will never truly change if things like this continue to happen. Ken Holland also needs to be reminded that playing hockey is a privilege, not a right. J*ke could of gotten his life back together outside of playing a sport that he’s not very good at and could work on being a better person instead a smug douchebag who possibly got away with a crime.

okay, wow, edmonton, just when i thought you couldn’t get any worse, you prove all of us wrong.

[stuart-skinner]

The only time i've ever wanted Mark Spector to be right about anything.

[hockeyboysimagines]

What is your opinion on Jake V? I’m sure you saw the verdict came out today. How do you feel about it and would you ever write about him now that he isn’t guilty?

I saw the verdict. I think the whole thing is awful, and I think anyone who’s assaulted should absolutely get justice. No I will not be writing about him. Hope this answers your questions.

[pierrelucdisaster]

anyways, I still hope Jake Virtanen dies.

schämt euch, bremerhaven

[hockeygossip101]

EVANDER Kane raped and abused women for years and Edmonton signed him but you’re drawing the line at an innocent man?

I have said multiple times that I don't like that that oilers have signed Evander too because I don't like him for the things he has done.

I still like the oilers as a whole, but I definitely don't think they should have signed both of them. The only difference is that Jake was charged and went to court while Evander didn't, but it's still the same thing.

[buttercupjosh]

Me to all the NHL GMs if they entertain the thought of giving J*ke another chance

tw: jake virtanen, sa

i usually ignore comment sections on posts cause they infuriate me, but the comment below really ticked me off.

jake virtanen has no place in the nhl, or any league in the world. the city of vancouver failed the survivor and failed the city as a whole.

cole, not that he’s gonna see this, but im glad he posted this, because he fully outed himself as a misogynist. hope you trip, fall into a ditch, and no one comes to help you.

jake virtanen sucks, like actually sucks at hockey.

he also is just a shit person

if you support jake virtanen, or any abusers, unfollow me right now, i’m not joking around. anyways, back to our regularly scheduled program.
