Virtanen wasn't even in for this game. Hoglander basically taking the spot he's been promised for years.
I just don't get it. It's not that he has low hockey IQ - David Booth was horrible in that regard but was still a useful player before the injuries piled up. It's simply the inability to learn and put effort night in and out. It's as if Virtanen is content making a few million bucks tops and doesn't want to use his brain cells to reach his ceiling.
He's too busy being a teen with $$$$.
He's more interested going to roxy's and bieber concerts, while kids like hoglander/petey/hughes is all about hockey in their mind.
It's frustrating because Virtanen has the talent, size, skill and he struggles with the easiest part of the game where you literally need to motivate yourself and go 200% effort every night. He's fast, shoots hard, big body, can hit etc.
It would be less frustrating if he just simply didn't have the skill or speed, so he can be a bust for not being talented enough to be in the NHL.
There's really nothing Hughes and Hoglander can do about their small body, if they could practice to growing tall, im sure they'd work their asses off but that's not the case like Virt.
FINALLY BEAT THE JETS, MAYBE DEMKO IS THE ANSWER TO BEATING THEM FOREVER NOW

I think tonight's game was their best performance this season so far. Who knew with more time off, and practicing with new linemates would make so much difference?
All 4 lines were doing great and rollin`
demko cosplaying to be a canadian, letting a goal in each game cuz 3 shutouts in a row would be too mean.
The Canucks outshot another team for once???? I know Jets defense is pure shit, but still, they aint ottawa.
Myers played real well tonight, breaking up passes, and using his body
Nice to see Hughes not being over-used, he was 4th in TOI.
