Lots of people, including myself, were defending him until he decided it was appropriate to whine about Green in the media for not continuing to give him unearned ice time. At that point, LE should have been suspended without pay for unprofessional conduct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s overkill. loui works hard on the ice, unfortunately he has been snake bitten ever since he arrived but that doesn’t mean he’s been completely useless as you’re making it sound. Yeah he’s not producing at his price tag but he still remains a solid hockey player who actually does help the team. Even more so recently. Some folks just refuse to accept anything good about Loui. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sure as hell isn't working hard enough to justify a roster spot on an NHL team. The fastest I've ever seen this floater skate is when it's time to get his useless arse back to the bench where it belongs. He won't hit, can't score, plays scared, and moans about the coach. The most help he could be to the team is to stop hogging all the nachos in the pressbox. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckleHorse Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I honestly believe that the classy fans are the long time fans of the team the classless ones jumped on board when they were top team in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol you must be new here... I don't think it's wrong to have an emotional investment/ reaction when you see something that you've grown to care about falter, and even seasoning a little trash talk or ribbing doesn't have to be negative... as long as it doesn't extend into serious personal attacks or death threats then why not? It's almost like watching a movie and when you see your favorite character falter, would you not say "oh come on!

The hate or strong feelings around LE are understandable ... anyone who’s worked with someone who doesn’t carry their load and gets paid extremely well can identify to that. That said if their was no cap we’d all be happy to have him on the fourth line and nobody would be complaining about it at all. It is what it is. Wonder if OTT fans feel the same way about Ryan and his 7 million....no they don’t. I can personally say that because I live close to OTT and they have provided a lot of support for him. Maybe if LE also had a demon that a lot of ordinary people could identify with there wouldn’t be so much constant BS about him. It’s not his fault JB offered him that contract - however it is his fault that he couldn’t produce what that contract was worth. He’s got to own that. Never aside from Messier can I re-call a player adding so much fan ridicule. Ladies and gents like it or not he actually is a CANUCK...he wears the uniform. TG might as well use him. He’s not going anywhere this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller gets 70 and is paid 5.25....JV on pace for 20/20 = 40 easily ... at 1.5. Or should we do EP instead? Point is a lot of players don’t earn their money relatively to others. Even the very best in the league. McDavid would have to get around 300 points to equal JVs production... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
