The Edmonton Oilers prospects had the last laugh as they walked away with a dominating 8-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks rookies. However, it was a jarring hit on a prominent player that stole the show in last weeks opening action in Penticton.
I am sure by now everyone is aware of “the hit heard round the world“. Jake Virtanen had the chance so he took the liberty of knocking the almighty Connor McDavid into next week.
Virtanen, a 6th overall pick of the Canucks in 2014 is a big bodied, skilled power forward.
