“Tuna just because you [expletive] up doesn’t mean you get to hit someone from behind, get the [expletive] going!” The captain’s words sent reverberations throughout Rogers Arena and the province, and Jake Virtanen, who enjoyed a breakout 2019-20 season with 36 points in 69 games, found himself at the center of speculation yet again. Zack MacEwen<\/a><\/strong> on the other hand is at the center of speculation for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n

MacEwen’s strong camp impacts Jake Virtanen<\/h3>\n

It’s not breaking news that July hasn’t been kind to Jake Virtanen<\/a><\/strong>. First, he was put under blast for visiting a Vancouver nightclub. Then at training camp, it was revealed that his teammates were taking advantage of his poor defensive play. One such example was Chris Tanev<\/a><\/strong> (Yes, THAT Chris Tanev) walking around Jake Virtanen to score. You can see it for yourself at the 0:24 mark of this video.<\/p>\n
