ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 So Loui decided to air his dirty laundry to a reporter, basically complain about how he's being utilized with the team, the fans disagree and have every right to disagree because they have seen him play and not perform to expectations, and now CDC is saying the fans are whining about it? Wait what? The guy makes 6M a year and cries to the media, and it's the fans who are crying? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes he goes, if he stays he must perform better than others. all there is to it really. I wish we had access to some more player summer training videos though, even just mini clips, to add to the hype Totally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more so how a thread that contains even a sliver of mention of....the guy...seems to start a snowball effect. I've been more than guilty in the past of it, without a doubt, but am trying to focus on the team as a whole and this coming season is pretty exciting all things considered. 7 minutes ago, rychicken said: as for the rest of the interview...Green does sound excited about the possibilities for line combos, etc....he can put together lines that he believes will work, rather than lines he hopes will work.... Exactly. He's been given a much more competent roster this coming season that will be far more capable of playing the type of game he likes to coach. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Y'all are focusing FAR too much on his SWE media comments. Both the pro and con sides of the argument. They're just an (unwanted) sideshow and distraction in all this. The crux of the matter is that he's in an uphill battle to stay on this roster, regardless of what he said in SWE or what Green truly thinks of those comments. He doesn't suit the coach's preferred play style and he's not a better player than other cheaper, younger players who hold far more value to the team moving forward. If he earns a spot on this club, he'll have to have played his BALLS off this preseason (and frankly will also likely have had to change his 10+ year established play style)... Let's just say I'm not putting money on that happening. Edited August 2, 2019 by aGENT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who keeps bringing it up? Did Travis Green ask Iain McIntyre about Loui ? Or Was it Jim Benning? I think It's the media milking the fans to cry outrage at the Loui contract . Summer time makes fans rabid/out for blood. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntrix Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I’d like the naïveté of posters who think that Green’s public comments about LE put to bed any problems regarding their relationship. What happens behind closed doors is usually a whole other story. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair observation, but that naïveté doesn’t stretch any further than your implied cynicism that TG’s message “behind closed doors” will be demonstrably different than the one he has publicly voiced here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. Without a frickin' doubt. Just looking at the picture makes me queasy. And as far as using the washroom, I'd have done that upon being up there. Here's one from after lunch. F' that noise.

Nave Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 He answered those questions very well. Took the high road regarding Eriksson, referring to his open door policy and desire to put out the best on-ice product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 "I like that Miller and Ferland are both capable of playing up and down the lineup." This is the type of comment that gives me a certain degree of concern and could ultimately be Green's undoing. I get the upside from a diversity of options, and see the positive, but the last thing I want to see is Miller and Ferland struggle to find chemistry with anyone because they're bouncing around the lineup too much. I really wish he would have said ... Miller and Ferland really solidify our Top 6 and fill certain holes offensively and physicslly that we had last season, plus they both give us more options within our top two lines. As well, other options up and down the lineup if need be. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully “up and down” means between the top 2 lines... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, when I read that, my first thought was: you mean they might not play in the top 6? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
