Jake was brutal this game, expect him to sit next.

Embarrassing loss, but what do you expect? These guys are garbage at home.

Encouraging start to the season has all but evaporated. Change is coming.

but... but... but... Reefer2 said he was unfairly sat in this game, that he was more deserving of icetime than LE.

Aside from that brutal turn-over, I don't think he was that bad.

He has the speed, and he has been trying to use the speed on forechecks and in o-zone when buffalo was choking up the zone badly.

I just hope that the day Virtanen learns how to use his skill set he'll still be in canucks jersey.

But let him grow.

I thought his season had been going fine up until the last 3-4 weeks. Wasn't concerned about the lack of scoring, but now all the good little things he'd been doing away from the play seem to be fewer and further between. He's just not an intelligent player.

I'd like to see him succeed, but it's becoming more and more apparent if he's to avoid being a bust, it'll happen for another organization.

Sadly, I just don't see it though.

I wouldn't mind sitting him for a couple games. :P Maybe rotate him with the likes of Jake and Gauncer. They can take turns being the healthy scratch.

Yeah, it's too bad. We looked great @ the beginning of the season, we could skate with just about anyone and beat some pretty good teams consistently. Once BoHo went down, we just went down the tank. I am a bit surprised and disappointed that losing one guy hurt us so much. Yes, I know there were other guys out as well (ie: Sutter, Guddy, Tanev, Dorsett, etc), but once Bo went down, everything seemed to fall apart.

Oh well, probably a good thing in the long run. It won't hurt to get another high draft pick and if we actually win the sweepstakes for once, a franchise D-man would be SWEET and just what the doctor ordered. We'll be definite sellers @ TDD as well, so JB can't really sit on the fence. Hopefully we can some add some picks/prospects for Vanek, maybe Guddy and any other vets that teams may be interested in.
