Carol Schram: J.T. Miller sees a bit of himself in Jake Virtanen, gives him tough love Canucks' forward J.T. Miller talks about the positivity surrounding the Vancouver Canucks after his impressive first season, and how he's trying to help Jake Virtanen tap into his strengths to become the best version of himself.

Today @ 2:32 PM ET
I thought you've spent the morning saying people should stay home and self isolate.
I'm confused by this take. I think you have talked yourself full circle.

I am staying home and self isolating . I am not also yelling at people to stop fishing on my river.

Seniors like me and you who chose to self isolate are doing it properly . I don't begrudge the people who want to get back to work.

I remember a few years back when Canucks kept drafting the same position over and over and some here said you can always trade one of them later. Here we are.

Great read Carol thx

I advocated for Bo as Captain but it looks like it should have been JT Miller if he would have been here a little sooner.

Having more than one guy who’s capable of being captain isn’t a bad thing. Whatever keeps the C off a goalie’s sweater.

Thank you Carol.

Too bad Utica isn't playing.....4th line Loui could have been a black ace somewhere.

Too bad Reid couldn't put it together here, but waver whatever.....

Since this started, I have treated going out like a military exercise. Move like I have a force-field (stay the f away), gloves if i go in somewhere, mask if I stay. (at the hospital today for my caudal epidural, their screening was, quiz you at the door, sanitize hands,, arrive no earlier than 5 min early, mask optional

Mitigate.

There you go...

Kevin Bieksa on Tim and Sid: "Honestly, half the guys that I have talked to don't even want to play, they think that the season should just be called and start fresh in the fall."

Thanks Carol!

You honestly think when Benning Signed Sutter, LE and Beagle he had intended a 15 mil 4th line? lol I doubt how that was intended but you Benning detractors will spin it how you need to
- LordH

This right here is Benning’s problem. He can’t fathom how terrible his trade/signings will look beyond the moment he makes them.

I am guessing most of the people he is talking to are from the Ducks. Did he add anything to it or just the one line comment?

Nothing wrong with cancelling the season. When they do return they do realize the escrow will probably be in the 30 % range .

Part three of this is when do they return? It will probably be still as unsafe in Sept Oct as it would be in July . Do they return when they have a vaccine?

Thanks Carol!

Try to ignore his blubbering.
The more you acknowledge his tears the stronger they flow.

That’s the point

Which is contradictory as it's been reported by the NHLPA that well over 80% of the players polled are ready to go. What 'guys' did Bieska talk to lol...

Kesler?

What are those things?
I suspect it's from a children's video game or comic book.

It's easy lol...tons of material in here...

Today Benning let two AHL players out of their contract early so they could sign in the KHL. Two days ago Buffalo gutted the big team and their AHL team.

AHL is a gate driven team . I think no fans means no season. Next two weeks is going to be interesting.

Two NHL non playoff teams with a make shift management group now. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come.
