Everything he said is true......

Just watch Virtanen when he doesn't have the puck, he looks lost.

Petan and Paul are cycling the puck and Virtanen doesn't know whether to go the front of the net, or the slot, or continue the cycle so he coasts.
 
I'm a Sens fan and I said McDavid was my player of the game.

He was dynamic. From 0-0 to 8-0, nothing changed in his game. He was everywhere anytime he was on the ice.

I think I've seen enough of Virtanen to say that he looks out of place among other stars. Not bad, but I feel like he needs to learn how to play the cycle game. Waiting for off the rush opportunities will only get you so far. When possession in the offensive is maintained he floats into the slot and stays there until he receives a pass or the puck is turned over. Though the skates hard and the will to succeed is there though so I'm hopeful he'll return next year with a stronger grasp of the forecheck game.

Fore checking and cycling are two different things.

I don't think it's a bash. I love virtanen but cycling and puck protection on the wall is his weakness.

I wouldn't say he floats. He just started with his line. I'd say some of tonight's issues had more to do with chemistry.

Virtanen is a unique player though.

He is also the 3rd youngest player on Team Canada. Max Domi wasn't even on the team as an 18 year old. I expect next year, Virtanen will be a very important player in this tournament.

It's a prediction. Not sure you are right, but we'll see. I think he is a bit better than what you do, obviously, but we have seen great prospects flop before so I can't say you are wrong wither.

Ugh, sucks about Fabbri. Hopefully he recovers from that best as possible. That did not look good on the replay, not surprised it's as serious as it is, but still unfortunate.
