Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
yeah...i dunno so much about misunderstanding since the question was pretty clear but that was a pretty shitty first impression lol
Virtanen was clearly pumped.
vs
McCann who sounded like it was the end of the world getting drafted by the Canucks
even had the hat low so he can hide the tears LOL
but i think it was probably nerves, he was clutching that mic pretty hard
Jared McCann TSN interview after being drafted 24…:
Yeah after watching the actual interview, I'm sure he didn't mean it that way. It's just really weird that he said it, but his nerves threw it out of context completely
He looks super nervous and you tend to say stupid things when you're that nervous. I'm sure people that have been in that situation in job interviews can attest to that.
Was hoping for Draisaitl but glad we took Virtanen over Nylander. I'm curious how Ritchie is gonna pan out. Damn this patience thing!
Jake looks like a no-nonsense in your face talented winger. He's projected to be the best goal scorer in the entire draft. It's also important mentally that he really, really wants to play for the Canucks.
I'm sad about Garrison, he wasn't utilized properly by Torts and we dumped him after he took a pay-cut to come back home. Thought we might be able to see the Florida "powerplay bomber" Garrison under Willie. I liked him the most out of all our blueliners. At $4.6 he had a decent cap hit, there are much worse out there.
cupboards are looking fair
alot of two way centres: Horvat, Guance, McCann
Wingers in Kassian, Jensen, Virtanen, Shinkaruk
D we have Corrado. And hopefully swiss Luca turns into what he was projected to be
I think the sedins can still produce in the regular season. But in the playoffs not so much.
Lets see what Benning does with all this cap space now

You know, maybe a different way of thinking about it, but I have absolutely no problem with how he answered that question. If he's an ultra-competitive guy, he's gonna be wanting to get picked as high up as possible and if he expected to go like 15th or something then being picked at 24 would be really disappointing and not everyone can put their competitive juices aside and be like "Oh I'm so happy!" it was right after it happened and he was probably stewing and being honest when he said he didn't think there was any chance he'd fall as low as Vancouver's next drafting spot... nothing personal against the Canucks, just he's mad because he thought he's better than a lot of other guys that got chosen and it's burning him up inside.
He's an Ontario kid. Maybe he grew up despising the Canucks and it was the only team he was hoping not to get drafted by. Not saying this is true, but considering his reaction, it seems very possible.
If that is the case though, his agent should've prepared him for the worst
