The fact he can’t even see how piss poor his play was and blames or bitches about Green, when he’s been a pro for how long? As O’Neill said a coach doesn’t staple you to the bench because you’re playing too good. The fact no team wants him as you said, is going to be the rude awakening for him. He’s better off breaking his contract and going to play in Europe. He’ll get 1.5 mil to play in the KHL and prob 2-3 years Loui’s so friggin’ arrogant he thinks he can manipulate a trade to Dallas! He thinks the Canucks will just retain salary and add a sweetener (like Jake) to help him out. He’s friggin’ nuts! When the Canucks do put him on waivers, he will retire. In fact IMO Loui will retire when he finally accepts no NHL team wants him, and the Canucks are about to put him on waivers fir the purpose to send him down. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontaylorforprez Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Would Eriksson, Goldy, and like.. a 3rd be enough to get Bennett out of Calgary’s dumpster fire? Retain some salary if we gotta? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mental aspect of sports is just as big a part of results as the physical aspect. Assuming a player doesnt try is just stupid. Anyone who has ever known a professional hockey player and the mental and physical work it takes them would understand what I am talking about. Confidence especially is a key driver for players. They talk about it all the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Ghost Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I can agree to disagree with people who live at the extreme where to them Eriksson is simply lazy, uninterested, and physically useless and not an NHL calibre player anymore. There is no arguing with that level of hyperbole tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s old, slow, weak, and lost his hands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic that you end that flowery rant with a pipe-dream proposal of your own. I doubt it would be as painless as dumping in Goldobin and getting a 7th - and a slurpee back. If it were that easy / if that were the case, I suggest that Eriksson would have been gone already. Thanks for the reality tune-up, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence especially is a key driver for players. They talk about it all the time. I'm not assuming he doesn't try. LE is making it blatantly obvious he is unwilling to put in the effort necessary to remain an NHLer. The proof is in his floating whining about the coach, implying that his pitiful play warrants a chance in a scoring role. He's the laziest bum I've seen here since Messier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) The hyperbole in here is too damn high! I don't care about his effort or supposed lack thereof. I don't really care about his comments in Sweden either or what people make of them. All I care about is that he's no longer required for us to ice a solid team, he didn't fit, he doesn't want to be here, the team doesn't want him here and I'd rather we use/gain back even some of his cap and roster space. The team doesn't remotely need the fan and constant media distraction. Move him before camp thanks. Edited July 23, 2019 by aGENT 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson’s a cap dump, Goldy is unwanted and the 3rd is, well a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a pet peeve when fans apply an all or nothing lens to a situation. It irritates me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tbh. Just get the cap space and roster spot back to help us down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case is he reports and we have to move him in two years time with only one year left on the contract. The sweetener wouldn't need to be as much. Plus he might decide to go home instead of sitting in the press box every night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where'd Luongo? Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Loui would probably get a ton of points (50+) if he was Petey's winger all season. I'm not sure if people are actually oblivious or just in denial but the reason he plays so low in the lineup is because the management and coaching wants so badly for a young player to fill that roll instead. I see why they are doing that, makes sense for the future. I also see why Loui hates it. Trade him because it makes everyone look bad and creates a weird vibe in the dressing room.

It’s either Trade him, Europe or press box him until he accepts a trade somewhere he doesn’t like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it doesn't save us much cap and obliterates any potential value another team would see in order to take him offour hands even with a sweetener attached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
