SilentSam Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I’m thinking this road trip is the end of the line for Loui.. maybe he gets none, or one game to show in NY state,. and then finds himself in an Uber to Utica. I don’t think Green wants to upset the Chemistry being created on this trip Edited October 19, 2019 by SilentSam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_G Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 So when he is out this long, does he just sit up in the box each game? That would not be enjoyable with management and ownership up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally id consider him an expensive third liner that can play at any given situation. But thats me, too many complaints on him and management and ownership will say ok lets do what the fans wants and keep him off the ice. So there u go. I feel bad for loui not catching a flow of goals/points but thats things that happends to many players and now here we are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for loui not catching a flow of goals/points but thats things that happends to many players and now here we are. Loui has been garbage and out played by 13 other players. That rich Swede can sit out forever as far as I am concerned. He contributed to the PK last year but this year we have players that do just as well on the PK. The Canucks don't need him or his high salary. I hope he just buggers off. PS: ...and No, I don't feel bad for little things Loui making 6 million per year to DO NOTHING. He makes more in one year than most normal people in their entire lives an he does nothing to earn it. Fu&% him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His salary is a different story compared to that. Today we have Ferland, Leivo, Schaller, Motte, Roussel so id put Eriksson on a 4th line pendin on how well he performs on practice. sort of a day to day decision. but like i said, thats imo.

In no way does he deserve to be in the lineup over any of the guys presently playing. Or Gaudette. Or Roussel when he's back. One could also make a case for Baer if we have top 6 injuries. That's three guys ahead of him before he even gets out of the press box. He doesn't get to play 'just because'. He may still be able to play in the NHL level, it's just won't be here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Unless we have some major injuries I don't see Loui getting into any games at all this year. Schaller is playing his role on the 4th line, Motte is a fireplug. When Roussel gets back he has a guaranteed spot. Gaudette is a centre so he can easily be inserted into the lineup if Sutter gets hurt. Baertschi and Goldobin are lighting it up in the AHL, so they are options for the top 6 if injuries occur. Loui is basically a 4th line penalty killer at this point, so with Schaller, Motte, Roussel, Leivo and Virtanen taking up those bottom line spots on the wing I don't see any room for Loui at all. Even MacEwen can be a callup for the 4th line. I don't even think Utica wants him or needs him at this point, as they are 5-0 and are 15-3 in goals for and against in those 2 games, and that is without Gaudette. Honestly, if he were to be sent down it might be to Kalamazoo, not Utica. It is that bad for Loui. He should just suck it up like a real man and retire and go back to Sweden. He's made enough money to last 4 lifetimes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Kramer Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Send him down, make him ride the bus. It could be the wake up he needs to work hard again, or convince him to retire. Do players retire during the season without a career ending injury? Injured : Motivation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson could have been more pragmatic for himself and the team this season by making the gut twisting realization that his game is not good enough. This player is not doing his homework. His own personal assessment of video could have shown him what’s going on. He could have offered to go to Utica for ice time, and or waived his NTC to try to get back in the game.. Not offering these 2 things has clearly defined himself as a player who does not care. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Loui made a side deal with JB and the owner. “Don’t send me to the minors, and I’ll retire after my July 2020 bonus is paid. I thought Loui would retire sooner, but we can afford to carry his cap for this season. Edited October 20, 2019 by Alflives 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his time here is done once Rousell is back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 So...two seasons of the pressbox? Between the cap re-capture and Eriksson's contract that is quite a bit of money tied up in....nothing. Not that I have any big idea's or could do a better job with him. I honestly have no idea what the organization does with this player, nobody wants him and obviously Benning and Green want to keep him out of the locker room so he doesn't negatively impact our younger players. Probably one of the Canucks poorer signings over the last 50 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Loui has a side agreement with our Owner that he will retire after his July 2020 bonus is paid providing the Canucks keep him on the big club. JB and Green have to keep Loui up here, but Green just won't play him. Maybe Loui retires even sooner, when he's had enough pressbox popcorn? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timråfan Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 So much drama... If the coach/management think like a fair few of you "guys" the club has problems. Do you think they do? Not I anyway, I believe they steer the ship and like the depth in case of injuries. If Schaller and Motte get injured just put in Loui and Gaudette and the injuries won't have a negative impact on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Vancouver never sees this bum "little things Loui" again in a Canucks uniform. Even his mother, timrafan, won't convince we otherwise by making up lies that Loui can still play hockey. I am firmly on the Alflives train that says send him down to Utica. Hell, get him used to it by sending him TO Utica on a bus. Don't fly him there lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Poor Loui .....NHL took away his assist on Schaller's goal. So we didn't have all forwards recording a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
