There are plenty of AHL players who've scored ~0.5 ppg in their 20-year-old seasons and still turned into solid top 6 wingers in the NHL ... but Jake's hovering around 0.25 ppg at the moment.

The only current top 100 scorer (forwards) to have significantly less than 0.5 ppg in their 20-year-old AHL season is Mike Hoffman (0.34).

I'm still holding out hope that he can find himself next season. Even if he can turn into a 25 goal / 50 point second liner, I think would be great at this point.

If not we can just do what we do with other unwanted and disgruntled prospects -- trade them to Calgary or Florida.

classy detroit players stuck around as Eddie Lack is stretchered away.

This is the actual play it happened on. Hope Eddie is alright.

But who is he playing with that can help him score? It's not like Utica is stack with offensive talents. lol

The biggest problem for Virtanen is not his skills or skating. He has all the physical tools to be good. It's how he thinks that's the issue. Yes maybe hockey iq but hell when he made the team, he thought he made it, he thought he's the next star but he doesn't understand that you have to work your ass off to be better player everyday. Instead, he goes to disneyland. lol

One of the biggest knocks on Virtanen and one of the main reasons Button rated him so lowly was the fact that he has a very low hockey IQ. He's basically a big high school jock bullying around the nerds during his CHL career.

I don't know about you guys but watching this is kind of hear warming.

^Fuck... that video made me hate Willie a little bit less.............. and I don't like hating Willie less.

^Just lie to yourself that it was Doug Jarvis's idea. lol

wow doesn't get much better then that.

is it just me or does Stecher kinda talk and sound like Bieksa?

lol there was also that video where they clocked Brock saying "you know" 45 times in his interview

hopefully he scores as much as "you know" next season.

The Canucks PR guys will get him some training. They'll replace the "you know"s with some old fashioned "and uhhhhh"s

When Willie and JB first climbed on board the Canucks train there were more "real good" and "like"s coming out of their mouths than grains of sand on a beach. They've toned it down but you can tell they're trying to pick their words more carefully sometimes.

Old Time Hockey is out today

its $15.99 on PS4

i'm contemplating picking it up...but i get the sense that it'll probably drop to sub $9.99 fairly quickly

anyone try it out yet?

So ya I think Brock is looking decent so far...

Anyone notice boeser always seem to be rdy to one time the puck? It's nice to someone who's always rdy to shoot

Oilers clinch a playoff spot!

oh how the times have changed....

:QQ:

What a weak goal. Bernier gifted that one to Boeser

Sounds like it's a bit of a dud

Starved for the sport on PC, Old Time Hockey is a bit of a letdown | PC Gamer

agreed

i'd like to think of it as Boeser choosing the perfect time to shoot when bernie was being screened.

Weak or not a goal is a goal. If any of the last 3 games have proven, it's that he's willing and ready to shoot. God bless the Sedins but it's nice to finally have someone who is selfish and shoots.

yeah...i read a bit of the reviews and seems like it's got a ways to go with controls

i think i'll wait til the first price drop
not worth the full price at the kind of reviews its getting
