Cant help but get annoyed reading Green's comments about benching Jake.
“If any young player gets scratched, they’ve got to learn from it,” Green said. “They’ve got to listen to the coaches, put in the work, and improve.
“The NHL, man, a lot of guys don’t hit their best until they’re four, five, six, seven years in the league and they’ve gone through a lot of ups and downs – good play, bad play, adversity. When you’ve gone through those ups and downs in your career, you either eventually figure out how to be consistent and a guy who knows what it takes."
Virtanen hasn't been at his best of late but also hasn’t been the poorest Canuck. Vancouver is still 6-3-2 since he last scored. The young players continue to get singled out whereas as the veterans like Granlund, Eriksson, Gunbrandson, Pouliot, Sutter, Baertschi can not score and suck with complete impunity
