Vancouver Canucks top prospect Jake Virtanen didn’t have the most successful draft plus-one season offensively, but there’s no question that his physical game is ‘NHL ready’. 

Virtanen hits like a damn truck, and has a propensity for throwing the sort of show-stopping hits that get fans out of their seats and will, in the not-too-distant future, prompt a tonne of biased instant Twitter reaction even if the hits are clean. And they’re clean (mostly) and also dramatic and hilarious, as all big hockey hits should be. 

And now we can watch some of Virtanen’s biggest hits from last season in a well-edited compilation totalling just a tick over three minutes, thanks to Canucks Prospects’ youtube page.

Pretty fun and impressive.

Though Virtanen will need to produce more offense if he’s ever going to justify his high draft slot, with his speed and size, it seems likely that he’ll be fun to watch regardless. He just crushes guys.
